I did however call them back and got some answers and researched it on the internet and posted questions to this forum. Which was a big help. I had another u/s done on tuesday and told them I was not leaving the hospital until they told me everything and I meant everything. I am telling you it is your body and your baby and if they can't answer your questions then you must go somewhere where they can. This worrying is not good for you or the baby. Please take care of yourself, try to rest whenever you can I know that this is hard but it does seem to help. I didn't get off the couch for two weeks and dh was wonderful about it. I imagine though if they are sending you home at 25 weeks pregnant they must not think there is really anything that much wronng, but I don't trust alot of doctors at this point.
