Update on bleeding..

I just wanted to update to maybe help some ladies, or ease their mind a little bit.
At about 9:30pm on Sunday I was sweeping at work and I felt a gush of something.. I knew what it was so I went into the bathroom and sure enough it was a gush of bright red blood. My mom met me at the ER and I was a mess thinking the worst. I had mild cramping, and the bleeding happened when I would use the restroom or stand up. They hooked me up to fluids and the ultrasound tech was called in. On the ultrasound the baby's heartbeat was good, and was very active. They located the bleeding and said it was "outside where the baby was". I stayed in bed all day Monday. I did go visit my OB who did another ultrasound and baby was even more active and we could see the heartbeat still, he tried to catch it but it was just moving too much, and I see him again next week. Today I'm going to work, followed by two days off where I will take it easy as well. I'm having episodes of crying, I think out of fear.. but my gut instinct that I had lost the pregnancy or was in the beginning stages was wrong. Atleast for now the baby is healthy, growing, moving, and okay. What they told me it is "A Threatened Miscarriage" sounds scary but it doesn't always mean you will lose your baby. So if anyone else is going through this just know that everything can be okay and visit your doctor ASAP.
