Caught Off Guard...

(Warning this post is grapic in parts)

Today was a normal day so to say, I worked an eight hour shift, I came home had something to eat, then put my feet up and started my homework...but after that it got VERY scary!! Booger kicked me and I felt like I was going to pee my pants so I headed right to the bathroom. I did my business and then there was a little blood showing on the toilet paper...three more times I wiped and it was still showing up!! (I know sorry about extra details) Of course I instantly started crying, I didn't know what to think...there were no signs ANYTHING was wrong?!?! No cramping, leaking, extra discharge...and I had JUST felt my baby boy, so I was soo caught off guard..Chad was still working so I called mom (she was also working BUT she is closer and works with women who understand this is potentianally a big deal).

After I got off the phone with Mom I quickly called my Dr's office. I calmed myself down so that I could talk, but then she started asking questions about what was wrong and as soon as I said "there was blood" I started crying again, she asked all sorts of questions like "is there cramping" "how much blood" "when was the last time you had sex" "Did it hurt when you went to the bathroom" and so on...all those questions just left them more baffled because I answered "No" or "Not in a LONG time". The dr. then proceeded to have me come in, get checked, and give a urine sample to see if it was a bladder infection...it came back negative, and baby is just fine :) THANK GOD!!!! When I heard his heartbeat and it was normal I almost started crying again with joy and happiness that he was alright. The Dr even used the words "Perfect".

But unfortunutly he then asked me about my line of work, I told him and he told me thats it. "Your working to hard, and Over doing it", he then went on to ask if I could afford to be off for the rest of my pregnancy, I said NO WAY! We just got a place to live and I don't have enough PTO to cover the next three months! So we came to conclusion that I am to rest and keep my feet elevated for atleast a week. That I work more short shifts then long shifts, and no more doubles...Oh man there goes my big bucks :( BUT all I can do is be thankful that was the only outcome :)! (She also went on to say that if there are anymore symptoms this week or that I over do it again she WILL put me on bed rest! Ahh! So I am just going to enjoy my little vaca to make sure that DOES NOT happen :)!!
