Week 8 and I thought I was losing my baby

I got a scare last Friday, early morning  around 3 am I think, I felt blood coming out from my vajayjay. I went to the bathroom to check and it was bright red. This is different color from the bleeding I have been getting the last couple of weeks which was brown ( old blood according to my doctor ). At this point I was freaking out because I thought I was having a miscarriage again so I woke up hubby and showed him the blood.  It did stop after awhile. We waited for morning to see if there’s still more bleeding. I didn’t see any new blood. We were relieved.

So we went with our day and forgot about the bleeding episode for a bit. We thought to ourselves, if it stopped then it is nothing to worry about. We went grocery shopping and when we came back, hubby started to make his pizza for our dinner.

It was about 3 pm when I started bleeding again.That’s when I really really got scared. I called the clinic right away and told them about what’s happening with me. I know that my doctor is away on  a trip, good thing that he has someone else to take over his patients. The nurse said to go there and see the doctor.

We went there as quickly as we can.  There were not so many people so the doctor saw me in 20 minutes. We did a scan to see if my baby is still there. And yes! the baby is still there and his heart is actually beating fast. I am so happy! They don’t know precisely what is the cause of the bleeding  but he said that since the baby is there, I shouldn’t worry too much anymore. He advised me to take it easy in the coming days, to rest as much as I can. My favorite nurse, Jenny told me, that I got her worrying and that I should take it easy. She’s really the sweetest there!

And that’s what I have been doing now. I am doing absolutely nothing but sleep, read, watch tv and eat :D . I only go out only when  necessary like if I need to go for my bi- weekly injection to be done by a doctor. I try not to lift anything heavy  although sometimes it does slip my mind and Jules would tell me:  “Hey lady drop that!” I am very thankful for the full support my dear husband is giving me at this moment. He would be a wonderful father, I am very sure of that.

I am 8 weeks today, I am thankful for each day I wake up and my baby is still here.

    Amiga… happy mother’s day to you. Pregnancy is really a scary thing and risky for all women regardless of age. When I had my miscarriage I cried not for the pain that I felt but for my Hubby who was crying inconsolably by my side and the baby that I lost. But every pregnancy is always a blessing… and for me it was indeed a blessing even if it only lasted for 6 weeks. You take care girl.

    The first trimester is usually the most sensitive. So take care. Bed rest is really recommended for moms like you.

    I know the feeling.. since you already had miscarriage in the past, please total relax time or bedrest til your 2nd semester. Pinaka-sensitive kasi ang first 3 months. AFter that, ok na. Basta wag ka na magpapagod, magbubuhat ng mabigat, just stay in your bedroom hehe.. I’m so happy for you, finally dumating na sya ulit.

    My wife had the same experience with you… she was asked to go in a bed rest for her first three months.

    Have to be very very careful.

    Hi! I first read your blog when you announced you’re having a baby and had been following you since then. I was a bit scared too for you but I’m glad you’re both alright. Yup, relax and relax some more.
