I woke up Friday morning with cramps in my lower abdomen. I didn�t think much of it, �Baby must be growing.� I went to work, it was a six hour shift, and the cramps were increasing. I got to the office and went to the bathroom. I thought it was intestinally related, �Nope.� When I got up I couldn�t help but notice the blood in the toilet. I checked to see if maybe it was coming from my colon. It happens on occasion so it was the very first thing to came to mind� I panicked. I called my doctor, �I have cramps and I'm bleeding.� �Come in to the hospital right away.� Mike drove me and I met the doctor on call. My bleeding tapered off to spotting so I was feeling a little more relieved but there was still that fear. Something is happening to my baby. He checked the baby�s heartbeat and I swear�.I don�t think I�ve ever heard anything more beautiful. �Baby sounds healthy, let�s check to see if your cervix is dilated.� Mike held my hand as the doctor had a look-see. Man�.everything felt so tender. �Hmm�everything looks fine, just traces of blood. I think this may be related to your disease. You need to be off your feet for the next couple of days. No sex, no exercise blah, blah, blah.� All I could think about was that my baby was ok. My baby is going to be just fine.
