Thankfully home from the ER (happy ending)

For the last few days I've had really bad morning sickness and I actually lost four of the nine pounds I put on the first few weeks. I'm sure was mostly water but was still pretty disconcerting. I was feeling generally sore and shitty until yesterday when I took a nap and woke up in a crazy amount of pain and I could not stop throwing up (5 times in the parking lot of the hospital before I could even get to the door). I was flat out terrified that I had an ectopic or some other horrible thing that I was shaking. They took my blood, gave me an IV for fluids and drugs and then three different nurses used a doppler trying to find the baby's heart beat.
The first nurse came in and scared the shit out of me. She couldn't find the heart beat and kept muttering "usually this is so easy." I asked her if it was too early and she said "the heart starts beating at 6 weeks" very dismissively. She got frustrated and left me with the worst feeling. Thank goodness the other two nurses who tried told me that their doppler rarely ever works before 12 weeks and not to be scared. No one should let that first nurse near pregnant patients ever again.
I was eventually taken to get an u/s and which was also crazy nerve-wracking. They are not allowed to tell you or show you anything and my u/s tech had the most amazing pocker face. Not the way I wanted to have my first u/s >_<
Finally, after five/six hours of being poked, prodded and wheeled around, I found out that I have a slightly twisted ovary. I can't imagine the pain of a fully twisted one. It was already 12AM so I stayed at the hospital in outpatient surgery until my laparoscopy at 6AM. Was a looong night.
But! I found out that my baby is perfectly healthy! They did find a placental hemotoma but they told me it would probably heal itself but should still be watched. Has anyone else had this? The doctors didn't seem too worried but I will always be worried. And naturally I'm already worried that all those drugs and the surgery will cause a problem for baby. I can't turn it off! But oh man, am I glad this is all over.
Sorry this was rambling, I'm still feeling pretty sore and loopy. I'm just so glad to be home and able to eat again!
