So this weekend I had a scare. Not a huge one but I noticed I was bleeding a little. It was a Saturday so I wasn't sure what to do.
Called 111 and they booked me into a weekend GP place, went there and assumed I was going to be told everything was fine and what I was experiencing was normal. But the doctor seemed concerned and booked me in for a scan on Monday. Monday seemed forever away. I was home for about 3 hours before I decided I couldn't wait any longer and I set off for Wexham.
I went alone. Couldn't face having my husband there if something was wrong. But I felt really alone waiting to see someone. Eventually a doctor booked me in for a scan. Around 3 hours after I arrived I was sat in a Gynaecologists office with him outlining what might be the reasons for bleeding. None of them were particularly good. I had pretty much convinced myself that the scan would show an empty womb.
When he found my little baby straight away with a heartbeat on the ultrasound I was literally speechless. It was then I missed my husband the most because I wanted him to see it too. Everything was all fine and normal. No reason for the bleeding and it's stopped. So phew. But completely freaked myself out. It feels very real now.
Other than that, much of the same... Sick, tired etc! Found eating little and often is helping, It's when I feel hungry that I feel really sick which in turn makes me not want to eat. Vicious cycle so just persuading myself to keep snacking is helping.
Also eating a plain biscuit before I get out of bed in the mornings really helps.
No more scares please little baby. I think I'm just going to be terrified for the next 7 months TBH. Well at least for the next month before my next scan where is will look like more than just a little alien.
It also has a nickname: Ace.
