15w3d--Nurses, Bleeding Again, Medicine....Sick!!

I have said it before...and it looks like I am going to have reason to say it again and again...."Nothing is going to be easy in this pregnancy!" That's okay....I'll take it all as long as we have a healthy baby in the end...but I am a little worried! I got back from Australia (hopefully my last trip!) on July 25th. On the way home, my husband and I called my doctor and finally he called in a prescription for the morning sickness for me. Even with the medication, I stayed home from work on Friday because I was sooo sick. (The 30 hour trip back with constant morning sickness was no fun, I can tell you that!) I was sick on and off all weekend...and then on Sunday morning I had a horrible gush of blood and then spotting for the rest of the day. I was still so sick. I stayed home from work on Monday and called my doctor who told me to come in for an ultrasound. I almost passed out at the doctor's office and ended up getting sick there. I wasn't able to eat or drink anything for two days. We saw the baby via ultrasound and s/he was doing well, kicking and squirming. We also saw what appeared to be a placental tear...and a large clot of blood around the placenta. The doctor said he was concerned, but not overly concerned and told me that I was now at much greater risk for preterm labor. My doctor also ordered a home health care nurse to visit me at home where she administered two bags of intravenous fluids and started me on a Reglan pump for the morning sickness as the pills were not working. So I have been living with a needle in my leg and a little pump attached to me that pumps Reglan into me throughout the day. I am feeling a lot better, though. I still have some pretty bad waves of nausea, but I am not vomiting like I was. I am unable to eat regular food and have to settle for nibbling on carbs throughout the day. No protein or dairy is allowed yet as that caused nausea. I am still spotting...but it is pretty much stopped. For goodness sake....I hope this is the last of the scares for a long time. To top it all off, yesterday I came down with a bad cold (unless this is some sort of other pregnancy symptom that I have now gotten) and I have been so congested. I am on regular Sudafed (as per my doctor) and it helps a little but I am still pretty sick.  But we have a little munchkin growing and that makes everything so worth it.
