Doctor Update

I went to the doctor today and she said I was a 2. Yay! Again, this doesn't mean much but it's better than a 1.

The doctor was worried about my blood pressure she said it was too high. She had me rest on my left side for awhile and then took my blood pressure again and it was higher. She sent me home with instructions so take it easier, rest for about an hour every morning and afternoon lying flat on my left side, and do only do light household chores not heavy cleaning. She said if my blood pressure doesn't improve by next week for my appointment the doctor will put me on all day long bed rest. I've never had problems with my blood pressure before so this is new to me. I asked her to just induce me today but she didn't go for that yet. Anyway, I will try to follow her instructions but I am hoping that I'll have the baby by next week. Patience!

No more pregnancy

The nurse called me back this afternoon and told me my hcg levels had dropped so I am going to miscarry. I'm still bleeding alot but I haven't miscarried yet.

Saturday Worries

There hasn't been much change today. I am still bleeding. It hasn't let up since my doctor visit yesterday. It's so discouraging and I'm trying not to let it get to me. I keep thinking if I lose this baby I'll be okay and I know I will but it makes me sad. I wasn't super excited about this pregnancy at first so I feel awful. I just expecting to get pregnant this soon so it was taking me a little time to adjust to it. I feel guilty for not being more excited. Here I am talking negative about this pregnancy when I don't even know what will happen. I do wish that I knew. I'm just bleeding but I'm not cramping.

Friday Continued

I'm glad I was able to see my doctor although I still don't know for sure what is happening. She did a vaginal ultrasound (I'm 7 weeks) and she had a hard time finding the baby. She finally said either I am miscarrying or the sac is so small that I'm not as far along as I thought. She sent me to the lab for a blood test to test my hcg levels and then I will retest again Monday morning. Hopefully she'll have the results before she leaves for girl's camp Monday afternoon. If my levels go up I'm still pregnant and if they drop I'm not.

Since my doctor's appointment I have been bleeding more and more. I don't know if it's from the irration from the ultrasound or if something else is happening. The waiting is the worst part. I want answers now.

I'm also still anxiously awaiting news on the 6 miners in Emery County. I hope to hear good news when the drill breaks through.

Friday Worries

I was frustrated by last night. I called the doctor's office yesterday afternoon to see if I could come in for an earlier appointment since I'm still bleeding. I rescheduled for a week and a half away because the doctor is going out of town. It just felt like they weren't as concerned as I was. I called the ER and was told to follow my doctor's advice but my question for the ER is what they would do if anything if I decided to come to the ER. I decided I would wait until today and see how I was doing. My sister and a friend advised me to go to the ER but I didn't feel like it was urgent enough.

This morning I was just spoting and it was darker in color so I decided to just wait it out. A half hour ago the nurse from my doctor's office called to see how I was doing. She said I could just wait for my appointment on the 21st or they could try to get me in this afternooon or Monday. Someone else had just cancelled for today at 3:30pm so I took that appointment. The doctor will just do a quick ulatrasound to give me some peace of mind. I'm nervous about going in but I'm so happy the doctor's office called to check up on me. R is going to run home from work and watch the kids while I go in quickly.
