I had my first scare today

Last night was a rough one. I’m 6 weeks pregnant and I woke up last night with the worst cramp ever on my lower right side. The sharpness subsided, but the cramp is still going on now. No bleeding, but still a very unfamiliar feeling.

I’m not due for my first appt til Tuesday. So I figured I would call and let them know what was going on. The nurse called and told me that it sounded normal and to drink lots of water. THEN, she called back and said I should come in. It might be an ectopic pregnancy. That was my biggest fear all along.

I called my husband. He rushed to get back into the city, but there was no way he was going to make it to the hospital in time. So I had to find out everything all alone.

Went in for the ultrasound and the Dr. was quite the whole time. I refused to look at the screen bc I didn’t want to know... Then, she finally spoke and said everything looks great! A second Dr. came in for a second look and then showed me my baby and the heart beat. I had never felt so much love for something so tiny. 💕

I am so happy everything is ok. But more importantly I am happy that I listened to my instinct to call the Dr. One less thing to stress about.
