A little scare
Friday last week I bled a little. I went #2 and wiped and didn't see any blood. Then when I looked to flush I saw that the water was red. I started to cry scared that I had lost the baby. In tears I called my mom and dad. It was 6 in the morning and I was afraid to page the doctor that early. I managed to get my emotions to cal down and then paged the doctor. The doctor said that he would call the hospital and make and ultra sound appointment and call me back at 9 to tell me when it was. I left early from work at 12 and went to my ultra sound at the IMC. The baby was fine and moving around allot. The heart beat was at 139 and everything looked normal. I was relieved to here so. Then the doctor came in to tell me that there might be a concern. The back of the neck to the edge of the uterus was measuring on the high end of normal. There are some things that can happen when this occurs. The baby could have down syndrome, Cystic fibrosis, or tiresome 18. Most of the time the measurement lessens and there is nothing to worry about. I don't have family history of any of these except for tiresome 18 cousin on my dad side. I don't think much of it because my aunt was much older that I am when she had my cousin. Still the doctors say that they are going to have me come in before my scheduled appointment. Still it scared me. The asked me if I wanted to do any testing to see if the baby had any of these. I said No because even if the baby does I'm still going to give birth to it. The doctors continued to say that it is probably nothing. I know that they have to tell you what it could be due to liability reasons, but I wished they hadn't I don't want to know unless it is a problem. Please do not worry me unless I need to be worried. Josh and I both feel that the baby will be fine. I have prayed numerous times asking if this one will be healthy and have always gotten a feeling of peace. It is probably nothing and I hope it is nothing. It is kind of funny that this happened in October. It is the time to be spooked:)
