WHAT A WEEK!!! First, let me say that we could no longer keep a secret. On Easter my family came over and Dan and I announced to them. There were a lot of hugs and crying for happiness. We called Dan's parents and sister and swore them to secrecy. His Dad listened, his Mom, however, told her sister and mother, So, Dan felt he had to call his Grandmother and tell her personally. Easter was a good day and it felt good to not have to continue to keep things a secret! We don't plan on telling everyone else till our anniversary.
Fast forward to Wednesday. I had some light cramping and very brownish discharge. I didn't think anything of it. Later in the day it progressed to bright red heavy bleeding. I freaked out. I couldn't get into the doctor till the next morning. I left work early. I basically ate my feelings! I was so stressed! We ordered pizza and went to a frozen yogurt shop in Oak Creek-that was amazing! I was convinced I was miscarrying.
Thursday we went into the doctor. At this point my bleeding had slowed down and was very light brown. They started by taking a urine test, which I'm told they will do every time I go in. We then went in for the ultrasound. This made me feel better. We were able to listen to the heartbeat!! 94bpm. I thought that was low, however, I was measuring 6w 1d. I thought at that point I was 6w 6d. Basically I may have just ovulated later-Which explains the ooops! I also learned the following:
Subchorionic Hemmorage-that is what is causing the bleeding. It's basically a blood clot in the folds of the placenta and happens in 20% of pregnancies. I was told to expect more bleeding throughout the first trimester. Ugh. The good news is it is small and should disappear by the end of the first trimester.
Septate Uterus-I have a weird shaped uterus. It's almost heart shaped. My only concern is that near the end of my pregnancy the baby can run out of room causing pre-mature birth. The doctor or ultrasound tech didn't seem too concerned.
Ovarian Cysts-a few small ones on my left ovary. They didn't seem at all concerned about this.
Tipped Uterus-This will cure itself once the baby is born. They also didn't seen too concerned.
SO, I learned a lot about myself. I feel like I'm a mess! All of the doctors there were very nice and explained everything very well. I go for another ultra sound and my original appointment next Friday, April 12. So, no sex and no heavy lifting. They also did a blood test to see if I had a negative blood type as that could effect the baby. Turns out my blood type is positive so there is no worries there.
It's been a whirl wind of a week. I haven't been eating the best and I am now putting a big hold on CrossFit. Feeling like I almost lost this baby made me realize how much I want to keep him/her safe and protect it. So I won't be in the best shape I want to-a human life is growing inside me and I have to protect it! I will try to walk when I can and I would like to start yoga. My healthy eating starts on track again tomorrow. My goal is to stay at 148 the whole trimester. I feel there's no need to gain any unnecessary weight. But again, keeping this baby healthy is the most important thing on my mind right now.
My little sister brought this over. Very thoughtful
