Today I started spotting. Bright red and pink. I have never been so terrified in my life. The doctor's office got me in right away and luckily, everything looks fine.
I think my favorite part was when the nurse said my blood pressure was a bit high. Well, yes, I imagine that the panic attack I have been having for the past half hour because I might be miscarrying would do that.
It took what felt like 3 hours for the doctor to find the heartbeat, but he did and said it sounded good. He also said my cervix is thick and closed, and it is probably just irritated which happens in early pregnancy (is 19w4d early?). Unless I start bleeding heavily, I am okay to go about my regular life and just come in for my already scheduled appointment on the 18th.
Tonight I am just going to take it easy and hopefully everything will resolve itself soon.
Of course your blood pressure was high and rightfully so. Glad you were able to get right in and see that baby is doing well :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so scary, Amanda! You think by the time you get to this point, you're pretty much out of the woods, at least where spotting is concerned. I'm so glad everything looked okay though! That's the only thing that matters.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Who can blame you for being scared, but I'm so glad to hear things look fine. Hope the racing heart has slowed and the high BP has come down and that you can just take some deep breaths and know Baby is still doing well. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI know that must have been so scary! Glad to hear everything is ok!
ReplyDeleteHi. I spotted at 17w... and now I'm due in about 30 days. Keep your head up! :)
