What to expect says I have a baby the size of a lemon now. I am feeling about the same. I actually feel a little less pregnant.... minus the fact that I am starting to show.
Had a little scare this week. I work at Hobby Lobby, we open at 9am. I got there at 745 one morning, because a bunch of us got there early to finish opening up our order that came in late the day before. well at about 8:05 I started to get some cramping. It progressively got worse. Now this is my first pregnancy, I have read on a bunch of stuff and have bunch of friends with kids, and my sister who has 3 kids. So I knew mild cramping is normal, especially with your first pregnancy. Or the AWFUL gas cramps super common in pregnancy. I am thinking they are just gas cramps, but getting so bad, i needed to walk away. I started feeling a little better and went back to the back of the store to continue opening. Well the cramps came back where I could barely even stand up straight, so I walked away again. OK now (WARNING T.M.I AHEAD) So i went back to the bathroom and when I wiped there was an icky pink substance. So now I'm thinking more of, this is my first pregnancy, having really bad cramps, and now I'm spotting!! so it is like 830am and I go back to the breakroom to text my husband and drink some water, and my manager walks in and makes a rude comment (cuz she's a big 'B') You're already taking a break?! and I started crying a little bit and told her what was going on so she told me to call my dr. I call the doctor and someone else in the office helped me but when i told her what was going on, she said the doctor would call me back. so that was 840ish
so 1030 rolls around I get a call back, my dr.
she asked again symptoms
I told her
she said "can you leave work?"
i say yes (getting quite nervous)
pause...... "Can you be here at 11"
(thinking it will take me about 20 min to get there)
Yeah, I can
Ok See you soon
Now I'm very nervous, but they just were precautionary..... is that a word? lol. ok, not much more details get to the point.. I got there, waited, did a couple tests, they didnt find anything, they listened to the heartbeat that was there and normal. so since they couldnt find anything wrong. It is 12:40 now, they send me to the hospital, check in at outpatient, drink 3 12oz glasses of water before 1:15 check in. I cry to my husband, called his mother cuz he is at work and she met me at the hospital. Had to do a FULL BLADDER ultra sound where they didnt show me the screen, and had to be there alone. the ultrasound lady said she couldnt tell me anything because she was not certified. so once the ultra sound was done, the radiologist had to check it, t hen call my dr. then my dr. would call the hospital where i would go into a consulting room and take the call from my dr. to tell me the results. LAME. well all that waiting about 3:20 finally got the call. Guess what, NOTHING WAS WRONG! I am thankful nothing is wrong, and I'm thankful they went to full lengths to find out if anything was wrong. but that was alot of nerves wracking and waiting and being scared.
Why that happened you ask? well they think it could have been either the baby clinging on to my uteran wall, if i had sex within 48 hours (very sensitive cervix) or if i was doing heavy lifting..
wow, long story, sorry. but that has been the highlight of the week. I have been feeling the baby move a little bit more. mostly flutters. its cute. of course everyone ruins it by like just wait til you are THIS far along and the baby kicks your ribs and stomps your bladder. i just say well its not yet, and these are the first times im feeling it and it makes me smile.
I REALLY NEED SOME MATERNITY PANTS SOON!!!
