![]() We were so confused, had no idea what was going on, should we be excited there was a heartbeat? Was the heartbeat even good? And finally the Dr brought us into a room to say that "You are still pregnant, there was a nice normal heartbeat, your lab levels all look good, your measuring at 7 weeks along (which I was almost 8 at that point so that made me worried), and we would consider this a threatened miscarriage". ![]() Ultrasound is done and we go to the internal waiting room area and wait for what feels like 10 years before the Dr comes to get us. But as I lay there I had hope that maybe there was still a chance. The tech confirms in fact yes there is a heartbeat! I was to scared to move or ask to see so I just kept quiet and let him finish what he needed to do. Really could he not have found someone else? Anyway, ultrasound starts and he's getting measurements and then I hear nurse say "That's a heartbeat isn't it? Do you see it?" and Nick says "Yeah, I see that". I go to the bathroom- no blood, get undressed and wait for him to come back, along with him pregnant nurse, blah. OMG are you serious? What does that mean? We were both more confused than ever. As he leaves, Nick turns to me and says "I saw a heartbeat". Then the tech tells me to go to the bathroom and he will do the vaginal ultrasound after he finds a chaperon. Wait, WHAT?! I thought, why on Earth would he even show me unless there was a glimmer of hope?! He turns the screen back to himself and continues his measurements, and I keep looking over at Nick for any sign of something good but he just kept shrugging his shoulders. As he's pushing the probe across my belly I ask him "Do you see anything?" and although I know the tech's are not allowed to say anything he turns the screen towards me and says "There's your little peanut". I told Nick that this was the first time that I was just NOT looking forward to an ultrasound and that made me so sad since ultrasounds during this time are supposed to be so much fun.įinally the ultrasound tech brought us to another room and had me lay on the bed so he could do the abdominal US. Then sometime later our nurse brings us to another room to wait for the ultrasound tech to get us. The phlebotomist comes in to collect my blood. The waiting was the worst part, we didn't really know what to do with ourselves. The Dr comes in and explains everything that will happen that morning and then we wait some more. I give my sample, we get a bed, and wait around for while. I also thought it was weird that this whole time I have not been having any cramping, isn't that another big sign of what we thought was happening? While waiting I give a urine sample, and I thought it was weird that no blood was coming out, but didn't give it much thought. I know she felt so bad and just didn't have anything to say, because what can you say in this situation? Nothing would make it better. I called my parents and they came over to watch Hannah for us while we made that dreaded trip to the ER to see what we already knew was happening.Īs we were checking in at registration the nurse that would be taking my vitals- was very visibly pregnant and of course I break down again. I called the on call Dr since it was only 6:30 am at this point and she sent me to the ER. I get up and check the bed, there was a blood spot the size of a CD right where I was laying, we knew there couldn't be a chance this could be saved. We do everything right to make sure this baby was healthy, why would this be happening. ![]() We just sat in each other's arms and cried, couldn't even believe this was actually happening to us. I freak and start yelling for Nick, he runs in and knew instantly what was happening. It all still feels like it must have been a dream, it couldn't have happened to us.įriday morning I wake up to my alarm to get ready for work, I go to the bathroom and my pants felt wet, what the heck?! My first thought- did I pee my pants? And that's when I see the wetness is tinged read, I sit on the toilet and a stream of blood comes out. Well this weekend has been just that- a roller coaster of emotions.
