Haven't been able to get on any of the boards in a long time; not sure if anyone's still on or not, but had to share!! Feb. 1 I had a BFP! I was completely shocked! I honestly thought either I was having thyroid issues or was going through menopause (very tired, cold, etc.). But, nope, it was an entirely different cause I had my 1st OB appt on Feb. 28; baby had good strong heartbeat, 180, (which I cried to see that flicker) & was VERY active on the ultrasound. Such a reassuring sight! Then, yesterday, I had bright red bleeding. I had been at a meeting at work; got home as soon as I could, laid down, & debated about whether or not to call the doctor. After about 15 minutes, I did; his nurse called, & got info, then she called back & said he wanted me to come in & get checked out. I was a bit surprised at that, but was also a bit relieved to know that I would soon have an answer if everything was OK, or if this would be MC#3. Doc did a pelvic & cervical exam, there was blood, but no cervical dilation. He then did an ultrasound; baby still had a good strong heartbeat, & was so active he had trouble getting measurements! However, my blood pressure was high; 160/104!! The nurses rechecked it several times, the lowest was 158/98. So, I'm to monitor it, & if it stays high, then I'll have to go on medication. :/ He also put me on bedrest for the rest of this week; he even offered to call my boss, which I thought was sweet! I'm trying not to get worried about the BP issue, I know that will just make it higher!, but it can sure be difficult to not worry. It's this strange blend of emotions; happiness, joy.....and fear!
Anyway, even if no one reads this, it helped to "talk" so thanks!
