My day started as normal yesterday. A little bit of cramping, which I have come to ignore as my body going through its changes. However, when I got to work the cramps "jumped up a notch"...they became quite uncomfortable. I tried to ignore them and continue...thinking it is all in my head. Then at about 3:30 in the afternoon, I got to the toilet and what do I see....my panties are covered with brown spotting...I panic....cramping + spotting = miscarriage.
No...this cannot be happening to me.....never...not me...it cannot.
I get back to my office, get Vitalab on the phone...no nurse available. They will phone me back. Call my "new"Gynae (who I have not even seen). He has left for the day but his assistant tells me to put up a Cyclogest and take it easy. Vitalab return my call.. they tell me to come in tomorrow at 7 for a scan....HOW THE F*#$ DO I MAKE IT UNTIL TOMORROW!!!!!!!
My assistant comes into my office (her baby is due 19May)...I tell her what is happening. She panics which makes me panic. Her last miscarriage was at 10 weeks.... I call my B, not available. I call my sister C...breakdown in tears...break her down in tears.
And then a ray of sunshine walks into my door...it is my B..he had come to fetch me early. My Protector is here. I feel better and more controlled. Get home and try and relax. Spotting has stopped but cramping is still there.
Get up in the morning, race of to Vitalab. Get onto the scan bed, explain to Dr V what happened. He sticks up his Dildo scan and what does he see "NOTHING"...my little Brat is lying fast asleep in my womb..heart rate 169..measurement 38.4 mm. Nothing is wrong with anything.
Demon child..gave Mommy such a fright.
I know that sometimes I am a real Drama Queen but I can honestly say..I really was scared yesterday.....my mind went around in circles...
Fortunately the angels were smiling on me...and protected me. And Like my B says "My babes...nothing is going to happen...our Brat is written in the Stars"

Kicking your ass from here for not phoning me!!!!
Sheesh! I was scared too - so can only IMAGINE what you must've gone through. So very relieved that all is ok! The silly sausage!

Smudge gave us a BIG fright! Little Brat!! So very happy that there's nothing to worry about! :)
I know exactly what you're going through. I had placenta previa and it's not fun. Take it easy.
And I bet your m/s all day sickness istantly disappeared as soon as you saw the spotting. During my 2nd pregnancy I had quite a few proper red blood bleeds till 13 weeks (each time rushed immediatly to FS, didn't even wait till morning)and each time it happened the nausea that was usually constantly there, immediatly disappeared. So glad all is well and hoping you won't have anymore scares.
Jeepers Creepers! That is very scary.I am really glad that everything is OK.
Thank goodness Brats, what a relief!
I'm so sorry you had to have that scare and I'm very releaved that the little Brat is fine :-)
Hang in there :-)
so glad it was just a scare! keep your little brat safe!
