bleeding AGAIN (updated)

Hi, everyone. We were at the hospital for 5.5 hours this morning because R was bleeding for about the fourth time throughout this pregnancy. To make a long story short, she most likely has a UTI. The baby looks "perfect" and "gorgeous" (according to our doctor), and her cervix is closed, but she was having mild contractions. They did an ultrasound to make sure that there weren't any issues with the placenta, and that looked great, as well. Our hope at this point is that he at least waits until May 2nd to make his debut because he will be at 37 weeks on that day. We really had a scare and are so thankful that he is doing okay. If nothing else, this morning was a major reality check that he will be here soon!
UPDATE: She does not have a UTI. Essentially, the bleeding does not have an explanation. She is, however, feeling better. She is less nauseous and dizzy. We are still worried, even though Holden is still as active as ever. She's going to swing by our OB's office for a quick checkup on Friday afternoon. Our hope is that it was some kind of fluke, just like the other times. Sigh.
UPDATE AGAIN: R is back with a doctor this morning because of some spotting. It was brown this time, so hopefully it is less serious.
Please see below for anymore updates.

Need to update a ticker, Silas Anthony Jordon born Oct 11, 2013. 6th baby, so much love!
I had severe bleeding from beginning of the pregnancy through the early part of the third trimester. Doctors were sure he would come early. I was contracting semi-regularly from 31wks onward and began dilating at 35wks. Sebastian still hung in until 38wks 4days though. :-)
It is coming though...and when Holden arrives you'll forget quickly about all of these complications.

Try to relax and yes good sleep is essential at this time.
Hoping this was just a fluke...I know how hard it is to not have an exact medical explanation for some of these complications, but rest assured that you are in good hands with your medical team and both Mommy and Holden are well cared for.
Best wishes for you guys...hang in there!

So even if baby came today, he would probably be more than okay. It's so hard not to worry and relax, we all know that. And R sounds like Lori, she couldn't stay still either and was doing yardwork with me earlier in the day she went to the hospital!
I definitely agree to be ready at this point. We were 85% ready and got the rest done waiting for the boys to come home.
Hoping your little guys sticks where he is for a bit longer.

There has been no bleeding since Friday, and she is feeling great. We're trying to stay positive and hopeful for at least a few more weeks! Thanks again, everyone. You all helped me to freak out a little less last week. :-)
