It's not Monday but I need to bitch...

Just venting here. And maybe looking for a little backup.
I'm 15 weeks and I've had spotting on and off the whole time. Sometimes it's just that--spotting--but once it was enough to send me to the ER where they said everything was fine after an ultrasound etc. I am just so frustrated! Everyone always says not getting periods is such a great pregnancy perk, but I have the opposite! I'm having to wear granny panties and pads all the time which I absolutely hate. Plus periods are predictable. This shit, not so much. Friday at work (I'm a teacher) I had to leave during a class because I bled through my underwear and onto my skirt! I had to go home and change! How embarrassing and totally awful. Now I started carrying pads and underwear with me in my purse. Dr says my cervix is especially sensitive and little things can irritate it and make it bleed. It happens for like a week after we have sex (needless to say that hasn't been happening much)! She also said my constipation could be making it worse so I started taking colace today. I hope that helps.
I think I'm done bitching now. I realize how incredibly lucky I am to be pregnant and be having this baby, but I just needed to get that out. I already feel better. Thank you.
