***long post***

So I just got into the third trimester! I had some spotting at the end of my second trimester and had to get checked out. Turned out it was caused by a nasty yeast infection I had and my placenta was still low lying so I was placed on pelvic rest.

So last night, my brother in law was coming over for dinner as his wife was volunteering. My husband and him came home at the very same time and I was still getting my sauce for dinner ready so they were just chopping it up, talking about their days yadda yadda.

I felt like I needed to change my pad which was odd, because I had just taken a shower 30 minutes before and had just put a pad on. Usually they don't go this fast for me but hey, it is what it is.

I went to the restroom and bam saw blood. I immediately told myself to calm down. I knew hyperventilating would not be good so I was just sitting there breathing and trying to think of my next move. (Usually I'm home alone, so I guess I forgot I had two people I could call out for help in my house) so I yell for my husband to come into the restroom. He comes and sees the blood and automatically runs back to grab his phone to call our midwife. He rushes back to me and is ringing her and I tell him that I'm not cramping and have no idea why this could be happening close to tears.

My midwife answers and tells us to go to the hospital and that she would meet us there. So I get a new pad on, get my shoes on and tell my brother in law to help himself to dinner and we would call him and we scurry to the car. I'm in the car now and crying. My husband is trying to console me but this is my first baby so im freaking out. We get to the hospital, my midwife was already there and had a room and nurse ready for me. They get me in there, change me into a gown and automatically do a doppler to check babys heartbeat. 150...so I'm getting relieved. Then they are like, let's check out the cervix. So I get on the stirrups and the doctor gets down there and after a moment comes back up (not even going in there) and says..."Maam, it seems you shave down there?" I looked puzzled. "I'll still check but you got a nasty razor cut down here that we need to clot up."

My midwife started chuckling and my husband blew out a sigh of relief.

Baby was fine...my dumb ass just cut herself when shaving down there! I knew I knicked myself but I didn't think ANYTHING about it.

Went home relieved and embarrassed as fuck....sigh.
