Issues

Last Sunday-Tuesday, I had some issues with spotting/bleeding and needless to say, I was scared shitless. I called the doctor on Sunday and he told me to head into the ER. In the end, we found that my cervix was closed, numbers were still doubling and the ultrasound showed a sac. Very good news!

I was told to go home and rest and follow with my doctor. I did but experienced some more bleeding on Tuesday. I thought for sure the pregnancy was over but yet again, my numbers were still doubling and the ultrasound on Wednesday not only showed a sac but a faint shadow of something growing in it! Our hearts literally leapt for joy! My mom keeps teasing that she thinks this baby will be a boy because "It's already being a pain in the ass!!!". Haha, she always knows how to make me smile.

I had a nice conversation with my doctor tonight and he told me that around 50% of women deal with spotting/bleeding during early pregnancy and that it is probably the baby/placenta burrowing in for the long haul. He also told me that my levels are exactly where they should be and as of right now, everything is going well. I really love my doctor, he has an awesome bedside manner. :)

He is sending me for another u/s in 1o days (1/26) just to make sure everything is progressing and he told me that, at that point, we should hear that heartbeat! I so can't wait and pray that everything goes well in the meantime. Maybe I will even try to relax and enjoy this pregnancy a little!

Thanks to everyone for continuing to send those prayers up! I am very appreciative!
