Hey!
Well today has been a crazy day for me. I was out with my sister and a friend lastnight and went to the bathroom and I was bleeding a little bit. Not much just when I wiped. I wasn't worried about it at all because I knew it could be so many different things. I wasn't cramping so I wanted to just wait it out.
Today I had my first mid-wife appointment and I let her know that I was bleeding a bit so she did an internal just to feel my uterus and cervix. She wasn't worried but she said she thought my uterus felt only 7-8 weeks along... which I'm supposed to be 11 weeks. She knew she could be wrong because she didn't want to be too intrusive since I was bleeding. She ordered an ultrasound and thank goodness I was able to get one at 3:00 today. I left the appointment not feeling very positive about it but strangely at peace. My husband was with me the whole time and he was feeling the same thing. We both know that these things are out of our control so we couldn't worry about it.
We went to the ultrasound and I'm happy to say that everything looks great! The baby is measuring 11 weeks, I saw and heard the heartbeat and I was able to bring a picture home with me. We were incredibly relieved.
Anyway, it's been a long day but a bit scary. I'm not bleeding at all anymore but I'm still feeling twinges down in my abdomen that I'm not too sure about. Could just be everything stretching. Who knows!
God is good!!
