That is what the nurse said to me today when she was putting in my IV. Not sure whether to smile or claw her eyes out at that point.
Well for now, I continue to be an upcoming bride. Sprout is fine, kicking away and heart is great. We had a long talk over the 4 hours I laid in an ER bed since urgent care had no clue what to do with me and hopefully I was able to negotiate with Sprout to stop this nonsense. My internal exam showed a small amount of blood and a small clot but they said everything was fine, cervix closed, etc.... The ultrasound was done on my abdomen which was exciting for once and Sprout was in there totally partying away.
I have many questions and need answers to why the hell do I have a weekly spotting fest, this week red! I know nothing of the fibroid as they have not looked at it closely and frankly do not seem to give a rat's ass. I have a regular 12-week appointment Tuesday and I am planning on laying it all on my poor OB.
So during our talk, Sprout agreed to continue showing up on our nightly doppler get-togethers if I would finally announce that he/she exists to the world. So after seeing all is well today and eating a huge Wendy's burger and frosty, we told our families.

OMG, I was holding my breath over the last two posts. I refused to read them b/f reading the one about your twins. But now, I finally let it out. Your strength amazes me..how you talked yourself and Sprout down and ended up telling your families.... Wonderful! I would freaking LOCK the OB in the room with you and tell him/her they are hostage until you get some answers..plus an emergency number to call if something like this happens again. By freaking God, you deserve it. I'm so sorry for the scary, scary episode. I'm so proud of you and Sprout for making lemonade.
Oh, and of course, this type of crap only happens on a freaking weekend!!! I'm so sorry you had to ride that roller coaster.
omg, I am just catching up with your posts now. So happy that sprout is there and doing well. Sometimes it seriously is a miracle that they stick. Your bleeding red reminds me of my TWO episodes with my pregnancy. Just add quarter size blood clots. I was like there's no way in hell there's a child still living in there after this. But sure enough...they were both there! I still have no clue how that happened. My doctor couldn't answer it either except that the blood clot next to them was noticeable on the scans. But they did quickly put me back on my progesterone until many weeks later. I'll have to check...but I think it was like 16 weeks. Sometimes as they say even the doctors can explain what's going on. We are just bleeders. I think I finally came to terms not minding being a bleeder in my first trimester as long as there were healthy babies on the other end. Oh and I loved that picture of the twins you took...it made me smile :) I'm sure there are a ton of questions I should be asking you about twins...I just don't know what they are!
I am glad to hear Sprout is OK. The little turkey!
Some people do bleed throughout their pregnancies. My best friend did with hers and she delivered a healthy, full-term baby.
Whew! I have been thinking about you all day.
Honestly (I hope this doesn't come across as creepy) I think about you a lot and everything you have gone through. You are the inspiration and the source of strength that make me put my head down and keep on keeping on.
You and Sprout are in my prayers!
Oh gosh, this has got to be such a roller coaster. I wish that this pregnancy could just be easy and uneventful for you. but I am glad to hear that Sprout is okay!
So relieved...
You continue to amaze me. And I am so proud of Sprout and of you. You are a courageous momma - for going through all this with so much grace and presence and for facing your families with it as well. I am so thrilled Sprout is ok. Hope I get to give you a big huge hug next week!
I'm so glad everything is okay! I too was holding my breath! HUGS and smiles! :)
I am glad all is well. And your families must be so excited!!
I am BEYOND HAPPY to hear that Sprout is doing well. I hope you find the answers on Tuesday. You've already gone through sooo much!
Breathing a sigh of relief for you! I seriously wish you did not have to keep having these curve balls thrown your way. The good news is that it sounds like Sprout is a resilient little thing. Hang in there and have another frosty!
:)
Nurse's ass-y comment aside, it sounds like all is well, physically with you. Whew.
I had 5, count em, 5, spotting episodes between weeks 8 and 13. I was freaking out everytime, but by the last one, more just irritated that I had to be worried when it probably wasn't anything. Mine were all brown, but spotting nonetheless.
My friend K who is about 27 weeks right now had the bright red spotting a few weeks ago - they tried to blame it on a hemmorrhoid, and she was like, um, no, different spot. And my friend A. had a similar episode with red bleeding and no reason at about 15 weeks.
I know none of this gives you answers to your dilemma, but I always enjoyed hearing about other people's spotting when I was going through it. I hope it brings you some peace of mind.
But, all in all, spotting sucks.
I'm so relieved that Sprout is okay! I hope you get some answers on Tuesday and that the spotting will soon leave you alone for good.
You freaked me out on the title of your blog post! Whew! I'm glad sprout's doing well...and hooray --- sprout exists to the rest of the world...ok well, maybe just your parents, but that's a start. I'd be JUST like you when i get preggo next time! Hope you get some answers at the OB's soon.
Ugh, you must have had your stomach in your throat all weekend... I am so sorry. You are so damn brave! And I'm very glad you have an appointment on Tuesday!! xox
You know all too well that life is not fair ... but bleeding in pregnancy after two miscarriages is REALLY, REALLY not fair.
