I too hold my breath until I sped and read till the end. OMG, how scary.
I am so happy that baby is kicking and twirling inside. You know that butterball is going to be very active. I know a little blood is ok but alot of blood is scary and dangerous. Prolapse uterus is common but I've only seen it in older women and normally due to baring many children. Bed rest Lyndsey. Don't worry about anybody or anything. |

So I felt sick yesterday until I got to the OB's office. She came into the room and asked how I was and I said "Okay" and she asked why just okay. I told her I'd been in emergency the night before (she didn't have the report yet) and that I was worried about what was happening to me. I told her the gynecologist said I had a prolapsed uterus and I didn't know what to expect. She asked if my mom had any history of prolapse and I said no. She asked if I felt it falling, because most women get a sensation of things moving out of place. I said no, nothing feels different at all! She told me it would be weird for me to have a prolapse at my age, never giving birth before, and no genetic history of prolapse.
So, she did another exam and said it looked normal. She had me "push down" and there wasn't much movement - it was normal. Everything is where it should be! She didn't know why they thought I had a prolapsed uterus, because I DON'T! Wonderful news!!!!!! I had a huge sigh of relief! Then she brought out the Doppler and I warned her they couldn't find a heartbeat the night before. She said that's weird, at 14 weeks it should be easy to hear. I told her they said that too, and then told me I was probably having a miscarriage. She said "Oh my gosh, you had an awful night!!!!" I told her we thought we were losing the baby for about 3 hours until that ultrasound! Anyways, she couldn't find the heartbeat either, and asked me to go empty my bladder because sometimes it can push on the baby and make it harder to find the heartbeat. So I did, and she came back and tried again. As soon as she touched my skin, it was RIGHT THERE! I heard the heartbeat for the first time!!!! It was amazing! So at the end of it all, I asked if I can still fly to New Orleans next week. She said sure, no problem! Have fun! And she told me to just live my life like normal because everything is normal!!!! I can't believe all the stress I went through with the emergency department!

That is wonderful news Lindsey, really happy for you both, so now you can stop worrying a bit and look forward.
Its a shame you had to go through all that stress..... at least the outcome is positive. Try to have a nice time.

I know!!! I can't believe I had to go through all that! They told me to see my OB next week, but I'm glad I went to see her yesterday. Otherwise, I'd still be worried sick!
I really think that the ER doctor irritated something when she did my pelvic exam. When she started, I had no bleeding, and then all of a sudden I was gushing blood and it was SO PAINFUL! My legs were shaking the whole time and Scott said he could see how much it hurt on my face! So maybe by the time the gynecologist came, I was really swollen or something. There was a LOT of blood. So maybe that's why she thought something was wrong. When she was examining me, it felt like a knife stabbing me from the inside   Either way, I am so flipping excited that my life is back to normal! I told Scott yesterday to say some prayers that life could be the same as it was a few days earlier. I never thought there was a hope of that actually happening! Just like I had lost all hope the day before that we'd see a live baby on that ultrasound. We've had two big (positive) shocks in the last couple of days and I couldn't be happier!

When I was pregnant I didn't have much money but I did buy those device to listen to my babies heartbeat. I'm sure they are more advance now. Can't find the one I had but here's what i found online.
