Emergency Room Scare And 15 Weeks Pregnant

Last night I started bleeding pretty bad. There was a ton of blood, way more than a normal period.

So, I drove myself to the emergency room.

I was scared. I thought I was going to lose my baby.

While sitting in the waiting room to be seen, I kept feeling my baby move. Which did not make sense to me. If I was having a miscarraige, how could the baby still be wiggling?

Once they finally got me back to a room, the first thing they did was put me on an IV. Later they found the baby's heartbeat. A little while after that, they sent me to have an ultrasound. The baby looked just fine, and was wiggling all over the place.

When I got back to my ER room from the ultrasound, the Dr. finally examined me and told me my cervix was still closed. Which was a good thing. That meant I was not miscarrying my baby.
They finally let me go home about 5 am this morning.

So, I have cervititus, which is an inflamed cervix, and am stuck in bed today on bed rest. Lisa is taking really good care of me today!!

I am soooo glad my baby is ok. After all, I am kind of attached to it. =]

I have a prenatal appointment tomorrow.
