Slight panic…
Hi! I was feeling pretty confident with how things were going compared to last week. I actually was going to work every day and feeling ok. Still have the all day/all night nausea, but that’s ok.
I was at work towards the end of the day on Tuesday and went to the bathroom. To my not so good surprise I was now bleeding. I immediately called the doctor, at first he told me to come in. And then he asked me some more questions. He said he did not think I was losing the babies. But, he wanted me to go home, drink plenty of fluids and rest. I would go see him at 8:30am the next morning.
Now, I had a slight panic attack over the weekend because my bosses, my husband and others were starting to get worried that I would be on bed rest for the entire pregnancy. I didn’t have that worry. I may have felt it for a few minutes as I was laying on the bathroom floor last week, when I was so sick! But, that was it, only for a few minutes.
So, after this incident on Tuesday I was really starting to panic. We are not prepared to go the entire pregnancy without my income. I tried to not think about it and just rested, drank plenty of fluids and went to bed so I could wake up and get checked out from my doctor. All while praying that nothing was wrong with my pregnancy so far!! 🙏
I went to my appointment and he did an exam and another ultrasound. Besides blood being in there, that has no where to go but out, everything else was perfect. The blood was from the movement and constant growing that is happening. He said nothing to worry about. Babies doubled in size in 1 week. They measure exactly what they are supposed to for 7 1/2 weeks along. And they both have perfect heart beats! 💕💗 156 bpm.
So, the doctor didn’t want me to work until my next doctors appointment, which is actually with my Obstetrician on October 15th. He asked me what I thought. I asked him if we could see how it goes after 1 week. If it’s still the same, I will take the 2nd week. But, if it’s better I would prefer to go to work. He agreed. He told me he didn’t want to me to be in bed for 6 hours a day but he also didn’t want me to be spring cleaning. So, I am trying to stay as busy as I can with no stress. 1-2 weeks off of work is better than no work for the entire pregnancy. 🤞🙏
I understand that I may be on bed rest at the end of my pregnancy because I am carrying 2 babies. But, hello, that is a long ways away!! Lol
He also told me that I need to start talking to the babies because they can now hear us. And he wants me to focus on the positive and happy things. That is super exciting. I’ve actually been talking to them since they were transferred into me. 😜 So, now I don’t have to feel awkward. Hahaha
So… All is good. I was so happy to have another ultrasound. I’ll take as many as I can get, so I get to see them.
Jay has been amazing! I know that’s not surprising for those of you that know him. And he is so excited. I love that part of us. Because we have both been waiting for this time in our lives for a very long time !
Until then….. 🥰🙏❤️😘😍💗💕🤰🏼🤞
