We had a bit of a scare yesterday! Actually, it all started Sunday night. I was laying with Colton in bed, picked him up to put him in his bed, and noticed something didn't feel right. After I got him settled, I went to the bathroom and noticed that I had started bleeding. I did spot a bit with Colton, but nothing like this... I was literally dripping blood! It totally freaked me out, so I called my sister to get her opinion. She said to keep an eye on it to see if the color/flow changed any over night, and if so to call the on call dr or go to the ER. I watched it throughout the night and it didn't seem to be any worse, until I got up in the morning and started moving around. The color darkened and started looking more like a period than spotting AND the cramps started shortly after. I called the on call dr because the office wasn't open yet, and she said to call the office before noon (yeah like I'd wait that long!) and they would see me today to check it out. I called right at 8 and got an appointment at 9:20. I tried calling/texting Kyle to find out if he could meet me up there, and nothing...no answer no response no nothing! FOR LIKE AN HOUR!! By the time he
finally calls me...after I texted his friend to see if they were together...I was already at my moms working getting her so I wouldn't have to go alone to find out what was going on. I yelled...ohhhhhh did I yell at that man! On any
normal day I understand his job and that he can't always have his cell on him, but not yesterday...yesterday it was totally unacceptable in my book! Honestly he could have gotten fired for having it on him and I don't think I would have really cared! Ok I probably would have cared today...but not yesterday. So when I finally calm down and quit yelling at him, he says he's already in the truck on his way to the dr. So my mom and I get there, get checked in, and go do vitals before going back to the exam room. My bp was 154/117...yeah not good haha! Nervous much?!? We go back to the room and the dr comes in shortly...still no Kyle...he works about 20-25 minutes from the office. He jumps right to the ultrasound to check everything; that was the longest 30-60 seconds of. my. life. Until he smiles and says well the baby looks good and has a strong heartbeat. Tears rolled down my face, and I looked at my mom and she let out a huge sign of relief and said thank you. (Funny how uncontrollable scared tears can switch so quickly to tears of joy!) Mom got to see the baby and the heartbeat, and we talked with the dr a few minutes about why this happens and what to expect. The front desk paged the room and said Kyle was there, so we waited a minute and he came in and was able to see the baby too; he didn't get to be at the ultrasound last week since he was out of town so this was the first time for him to see it.
The doctor told us that this bleeding isn't anything to worry about, but is classified as a 'threatened miscarriage' meaning that while there is nothing to worry about this is still a chance I could miscarry. I understand there is a chance of that, the only thing that takes away all changes of miscarriage is birth! He said the changes of me having a miscarriage is about 3% since we have seen the baby and it has a strong heartbeat, and that if he could give us a 0% he would but can't. So while that is somewhat reassuring, it is somewhat stressful as well. I'm going to try not to worry though, because it is all in Gods hands, and I will do what I can do help make it as healthy of a pregnancy as I can...and part of that is to not stress! On a plus side...I got to see my little peanut again!
