Well we've had a pretty long evening.
This morning I started having really bad cramps. The kind that bring tears to your eyes. But I had no bleeding. So I just kinda brushed it off and it tampered away. I put the girls down for their naps and then I tried to take one myself. I was just getting ready to fall asleep when Ella woke up(Turd!). But she hasn't been feeling so good the past couple of days, so she hasn't been sleeping very well either.
Anyway.. I got her up then I went to the bathroom and there was blood on my underwear. So of course I started freaking out, but then I remembered what happened with Ella and I was kinda reassured that everything still could be okay.
I called Seth(he was out and about). I told him that I started to bleed. So he wanted us to go to the hospital. Seth's Mom came over and picked up the girls, then we headed that way.
The bleeding wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either. It was enough to worry.
We arrived at the hospital around 5pm. We were seen right away. They took my blood, did a pap(holy crap that hurt!), and I had an ultrasound.
Since I'm only about 5w4d along they weren't able to see much on the ultrasound, since it's still pretty early yet. They didn't even show me the ultrasound screen. So then we headed back to our room and waited for an hour or so for the doctor.
The doctor finally came in and said that everything looked normal. He thinks I had a Subchorionic Hemorrhage. Which is what I had with Ella around the same time(I was around 6 weeks along with Ella when it happened with her). So everything should heal on its own. I have to take it easy for a week or two(which won't happen with 2 little girls and housework that needs done)rest, take Tylenol for the cramping and drink lots of fluids. I have to have a follow up appointment with my OB within the next few days. He also told us that a miscarriage can still happen and if it does there's nothing they can do about(which was so wonderful to hear*sarcasm*).
We finally got out of there around 8:30pm.
I woke up this morning with some mild cramping and some very light spotting. So the bleeding part seems to be tampering off. But the cramping part is still pretty uncomfortable.
I will update when I have my follow up with my OB doctor. :)
Thank you to everyone who prayed for us! We certainly do appreciate it!
