Roller coaster day...

Today has been a roller coaster of emotions. I just need to share to try and get over it all and clear my head.

This morning I was very excited as today marks 12 weeks in our pregnancy! This is our first! Finally through the scary miscarriage window. (Never experienced one but terrified nonetheless)

Around 10am today I went to use the bathroom at work and when I wiped there was blood. Not a lot but it was bright red. I went back to work and then went to the bathroom again 30 minuets later to check. There was more blood. Not enough to leave a stain but enough to concern me and again bright red.

I called my husband to let him know what was going on. I had a regular appointment scheduled for tomorrow and was able to get it moved to today. The whole time I was at work I held myself together. As soon as my husband pulled up and I got in the car I just lost it.

We went home and I used the bathroom again. This time in addition to the blood there were a couple clots. At that point I lost all hope and was hysterical and sobbing.

My husband reassured me and convinced me to try using our doppler before going to the appointment. My husband had held his composure this whole time, but as soon as we heard baby’s heartbeat we were both just a sobbing mess. Tears of relief!

At the doctors appointment they did not do an ultrasound but they did do a pelvic exam and said everything seemed okay.

Bleeding has since stopped. Still have some light cramping though.

We are both thankful that everything seems okay. It’s been such a draining day emotionally. But thank God our baby is safe!
