So yesterday landed in the ER. I was staying with my boyfriend this weekend and we were driving to meet our realtor, when I got a hot, aching pain in my back, and then a sharp, stabbing pain in my abdomen. It was so severe that I was writhing and crying in the car so Milo cancelled on the realtor and drove me to the hospital. By the time I was in the ER I was in a full on panic. I was petrified that I was losing the baby, and right after we told all our friends and family, my work, after we picked out names.
They ran me through a whole gamut of tests, and decided that I was severely dehydrated and that was causing the cramps. They gave me fluids and ruled out that anything was wrong with the baby. But the only good part of my visit was getting an ultrasound. The only ultrasound I'd had was at 7 weeks 5 days, and baby was just a bean. My baby had a face. There was a nose and little hands and little ears. My bean has gone from being a cell cluster to looking like a real baby! And now that we're public we can show off our 12 week 4 day ultrasound to everyone! I'm taking the day off work to rest (I'm completely exhausted) but doing good! I'm just happy my baby is okay.


Re: Went to the ER yesterday
If you knew how lonely my life has been And how long I've been so alone And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along And change my life the way you've done
Make a pregnancy ticker
I just realized this might sound like I'm trying to steal your thunder. That wasn't my intention. I'm glad everything was OK with your baby and you got to see him or her! I know how exciting that is.
BFP 11/09 - DD 7/10 - BFP 8/11 - M/C 9/11 - BFP 6/12 - DD - 2/13
No thunder stolen! Shared joy is double joy! I cried a little too. The tech kept saying "I'm sorry, it's too early to find out the gender," but I was just happy to find out my baby was okay!
Thank you everyone for your kind words! The ER was very, very scary, but there was a definite happy ending!
