Dairy of a Blood Clot

Demi

I’m like 6 weeks 4 days ish pregnant. First pregnancy unexpected and so not planned. I’m only 26 and still feel like a child myself. So yesterday I was leaving the house to go through the Dell Taco 🌮 drive through. I wanted those crunchy 3 for 1 taco Tuesday tacos. 😝 It was like 3:40 pm and I had been in bed all day. I was feeling yucky and just couldn’t get up. I slept in until after 1 pm, which was insane for me, and nothing in the house sounded good to eat. I’m so picky now with food it’s insane. No morning sickness just no appetite. I eat like once a day twice if I push it. So anyway I’m walking out the front door and my phone rings so I pause. My Mom is calling in FaceTime so I stop to answer. Soon as she pops up on the screen I feel a rush of fluid in my underwear. I stop her and say, “I think I’m bleeding.” And she is confused about it like how?! I close my front door and go immediately to my restroom. Sure enough my undies are soaked with watery blood. I’m like shocked. I had been having cramping for weeks but it has stopped for the last few days. So I’m like sitting there looking at my undies and showing my mom in FaceTime. She says “oh that’s just some spotting” but as she’s talking more blood comes out into the toilet and a blood clot the size of a quarter! I’m like omg what’s happening??!! She’s comfused and tells me maybe it’s a miscarriage. So I clean up put a pad on and call the doctor. She says it’s normal to spot if you pick up something heavy, have a Pap smear, and have sex. Which are things I’ve done in the last week but not the last few days. But she says it’s probably fine and to stay home and monitor the bleeding. The bleeding stopped in a few minutes and no more clots came the whole night but it threw me off. I never knew that could/would happen. My husband was relieved that I didn’t lose it and I saw in his fearful face how excited he was for this unplanned baby and how worried he is for me. He has shared birth scares him and he worries about me risking my life. It’s been a rough pregnancy overall but I’m happy to say today I’m feeling better and have more of an appetite.
