Threatened Miscarriage: When Something Goes Wrong

I’ve been dreaming of you since the day I found out I was pregnant. I never expected that on week 1 day 2 I would feel a gush if blood and run to the bathroom, fearing the worst.

My head was scrambling, trying to figure out what to do next. I need to find a babysitter to watch my daughter and special needs son, but nobody even knows we are pregnant.

I got my head together and called my sister-in-law, explaining to her that something was wrong. She agreed to come and babysit while I headed to the ER.

Don’t panic. I had a hemorrhage with my last pregnancy and although eventually I delivered him very early, he survived.

After arriving at the ER and getting settled in, I was able to get an ultrasound confirming that the baby was okay. The doctor and ultrasound tech both sounded optimistic that everything will be okay but they sent me home with paperwork with those dreaded words, “threatened miscarriage”. So the paperwork claims that my body may be trying to miscarry my child but the doc assured me that everything is fine.

Currently my head is spinning. I’m cautiously optimistic, begging God that everything will be okay.

Holding onto the hope that my little one will survive and thrive!
