Yesterday and today have been pretty scary for us. Yesterday morning I woke up to some spotting. I hadn't had any of that up to this point and I was feeling really relieved that I wasn't going to have to stress about that. I was frantic and very upset. I called the emergency number for my doctor's office and the doctor on call said I needed to call the office as soon as they open and that they will need to do an ultrasound. Wes and I got subs for the morning and I got ready. I was out of my mind nervous the whole time thinking I was going to lose one or both of the babies. The office opened at 8:00. They wanted me in at 9:00 and they did the ultrasound right away. As soon as they came on the screen I started crying. The babies were both completely fine and I could hear their hearts beating away. One of the babies heart rates was even stronger than last week. I cannot describe the relief that we felt. After the ultrasound I saw the nurse and the doctor. They had to give me a shot of RhoGamm because I am RH negative and so anytime there is bleeding during pregnancy I will need this. It will make sure that my body doesn't build antibodies to future babies since my children are more than likely all RH positive like Wes. The doctor said that bleeding during pregnancy is very common. She said that while she can't tell me why I was bleeding for sure, she can tell me that everything is completely fine.
The bleeding had stopped and I was relieved. However, again this morning when I woke up I was spotting again. I wasn't so nervous because I had just seen the babies yesterday and they were fine. I called the office when it opened and the nurse said that I may have it for the next few days because of the vaginal ultrasound they had done yesterday. Again the spotting stopped and I am calmer. I just wish there was no bleeding whatsoever. Our next appointment is December 22nd and I am so glad because I couldn't stand waiting several weeks.
The other thing that confused me is that my due date has not been moved however each time I go there I am not correct about how far along I am. I swear they are changing that. Originally it used to be that I started the next week on Mondays. Then it moved to Tuesdays. Now they said yesterday that I was 12 weeks and 5 days ( I thought that I was 13 weeks, 1 day). So now apparently I will be 13 weeks tomorrow and the start of each new week begins on Fridays. Confusing stuff! Oh well. Everything is okay and I am at ease. All I want is to have healthy babies. I am hoping that the rest of the pregnancy does not include any more scares.
The new ultrasound pics look almost exactly like last weeks so I decided not to post them because scanning them in is a little annoying! :)
