My pregnancy journey was just over 24 hours, and was the day that has had the biggest impact on my life. I was finishing up nightshift in the Emergency Department on 24th March, when I suddenly had abdominal pain. I brushed it aside, these things are usually nothing, dosed myself up with painkillers and drove home. Throughout the day I woke up with painful shoulders – again, I brushed it aside, it was probably how I was sleeping. When I woke up I’d noticed I’d had a small amount of bleeding – not particularly odd given I had the Mirena coil and had irregular spotting. Looking back, I can’t believe I ignored these ‘red flag’ symptoms.
