I will tell you now that this story is to be continued. Well all through my very short pregnancy I have been having some cramps, I wouldn't say that it was anything to worry about but last night (Sunday) My cramps were coming quite often and very painful and I there was also some spotting going on, but not much. So I would tell Sky that it would hurt he would say I know and have no idea on how to comfort me. Approximately around 9:30pm I had started to bleed quite a bit. And by a bit I mean a lot. The bleeding was in increments and each time I bled a lot. I don't really know how to accurately estimate how much I bled but it was enough to worry both of us. So by 10:30 I had called the on call nurse and mentioned I wasn't going to be able to make it into my morning shift because I was bleeding and didn't know what exactly was happening. Well Luckily enough the bleeding had stopped and I didn't bleed any more until this morning but again it was only some lighter spotting.
Skyeler and I had decided that it was a MUST to get into a doctor to figure what had happened and if the baby was alive. So we went to BABY YOUR BABY and was basically instantly put on that because of our very low income and situation. Then I went and spoke to my supervisor at Homewatch and thanked her for covering my shift and explained to her what was going on. She mentioned that I should go to the hospital asap and that if needed she would cover my afternoon shift in Springville. So off to the hospital we went. This was approximately around 12:30 and we went and was basically the only ones there in the waiting room. But we wouldn't find anything out for hours. So after a long wait, blood tests, and an ultrasound it came back with mixed signals. The ultrasound didn't look good. They mentioned that I have an abnormal sack and that they couldn't distinguish anything, but that could be because I'm only 7 weeks or it could be that the baby just wasn't developing or something like that don't remember. But my blood tests came back very good with HCG levels of 90,000. So the doctor basically mentioned that most likely what happened was that I had an incomplete miscarriage and to come back and get more blood work done on Thursday that way we can see if the HCG levels have either raised or lowered. If they have raised the baby should still be alive but if it lowered it is a for sure miscarriage. So Sky and I are still at a loss on what actually happened. So for sure Thursday I will update so I can vent and hide my tears. I know that if it is a miscarriage that there is absolutely nothing that I could have done differently to keep the baby that in all reality that 1-in-5 pregnancies miscarry. But still, I love my little baby and it is hard to have the excitement of being able to bring a child into a good family and raise it in righteousness and then have it possibly (most likely) taken away very quickly. I'm glad that Skyeler and my family is a source of support for me and will help in every way they can. I love them all and so glad that they are all apart of my life. A big thanks again to my wonderful husband who has helped me with everything during this short pregnancy and this episode. You are the best and I couldn't have asked for a better husband and friend and one day in the future a daddy.
I hope everything turns out to be okay! You will be in our prayers. If you need anything let me know. I went through this situation too! I was 13 weeks when I lost our first. I hope that isn't the case, but if it is-I am here for you to vent! Good luck!
