FUCK.
Completely out of the blue. After 0.0 days of spotting in the last 13.6 weeks. I was not especially active today and I didn't have sex within the last few days. Spotting was dark brown, which I know is better than bright red, but I did have some mild, fleeting "period cramps" today and that's not good.
It's after hours at my clinic, but luckily MY OB is the one on call right now. She said their office isn't open again until THURSDAY. That's SIX DAYS AWAY. She said I could go to the emergency room tonight or she'd make a special trip to the office tomorrow morning to have a look for me, else I'll freak out for the next week. We decided to wait until tomorrow. We cancelled our plans for tonight and we're just going to lay low.
I am a mess. I know this could be nothing, it could be completely fine and normal. But I am 100% completely on board and in love with this baby. Even the notion that s/he might not get here is sending me into a tailspin. Why did I let Champ talk me out of getting a Doppler? I would feel nine billion times better if we could just find the little heartbeat right now and I knew that the babe is still alive. He argued that if we couldn't find it, things would be even worse and I'm sure that's true.
Please please please please please let this be okay.
I'll keep you posted. Fuck.
You all are in my thoughts! Praying that all is well.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are having spotting. It is scary regardless of the color. :( I actually had some at the beginning of the week. Dark brown and not from having sex. It scared the crap out of me and so I called my doctor the next day. They weren't concerned with brown and didn't feel the need to see me. It went away, luckily. I hope yours is nothing and hopefully it will resolve on its own with rest and lots of water. Praying that everything is ok!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry; I know how scary spotting can be. I had spotting at 10.5 weeks and was a huge mess - my husband didn't know what to do or say so we called my Mom. She calmed me down a bit. It was also after hours so I called my doctor first thing in the morning. Thankfully by the end of the next day, things had resolved themselves. Try to rest! And try not to assume the worst. I'll say a special prayer for you and the little one tonight!
ReplyDeleteI hope this is nothing, and I am sending lots and lots of positive vibes.
ReplyDeletePraying for you. This is your miracle baby. It has to be okay... There's simply no other option! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis just happened to me too. I had spotting and even some was red. I'm now 12 weeks and this happened when I was about 10 1/2 weeks. I have a SCH, so that is where my bled was coming from. And some women bleed for no reason at all. Were you taking progesterone, and recently gone off it, because that can make you spot too, it sends your hormones into a tailspin. Sending tons of good vibes your way!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo scary! Hope everything is okay and it's all a normal false alarm
ReplyDeleteOh Jen, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and praying this is just a gross nothing. Hang in there and please shoot me a text after your appointment. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI had spotting on and off throughout the first trimester, so I know how scary it can be. I'm glad your doctor is able to see you quickly to check things out. I'll be sending you lots of positive thoughts. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteOmg how scary! I'm sure it's nothing, but still, I'm praying.
