Our First Big Scare

At 14 weeks my morning sickness finally subsided! I was so grateful! My tummy was starting to poke out a little bit. It was feeling very real! I woke up at 5am one morning and realized I had wet the bed! I was mortified!! I ran to the bathroom trying not to wake my husband up. When I turned on the light, I realized I hadn't peed my bed at all. It was blood!! I began to sob! I couldn't believe this was happening!

My husband came running to see what was wrong. He immediately called the doctor who told us to run the to ER. They did blood tests and ultrasounds but couldn't find anything wrong. After three hours, they sent us home telling me to take it easy and follow up with my OB.

Later that evening, the bleeding had finally stopped and I was relaxing on the couch. It started again. This time with horrible cramping. We rushed back to the ER and had more tests done. The ER doctor kept telling me it wouldn't be long now before it would be over. He kept telling me it was most likely a miscarriage. We were devastated!!

They sent us in for another ultrasound and low and behold, both babies were FINE!!! They had no idea where the bleeding was coming from, but it wasn't from the babies!! The next day I was sent home for some bed rest and healing! It was terrifying!! I never want to experience anything like that again!!

The bleeding lasted about 6 weeks but they kept a really close eye on me and my cervix and we healed very well!!
