Our First ER Scare...

Last night Nick and I experienced our first ER scare - pregnancy related of course. Luckily, all seems well now.

Background: for the last couple days I've had bleeding which we thought was b/c of the yeast infection and irritation due to the meds prescribed. Last night after I woke up from my nap, the bleeding became worse including a nasty blood clot, so we were told to head to the ER. After 4.5 hours, we were sent home after being given an ultrasound that showed baby moving around happily and the placenta all well attached as it should be.

I was told to rest today and follow up w/ OB ~ the bleeding has since pretty much stopped. OB reiterated how bleeding in the first months can be normal, and since it stopped didn't want to look up in there in fear of irritating something again. Since the ultrasound pics don't even show a placenta tear anywhere and baby is good -- she says just take it easy for the next couple weeks and basically just hope it doesn't happen again.

I'm fairly confident it's due to the medicine they gave me for the yeasty - though they refuse to say that's possible, but why would they tell me they shouldn't have given me those meds?

I was only in tears the first hour in the waiting room -- since then I've had a pretty strong sense of calm that everything's fine. God is good at giving peace when it's needed!

"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him." Psalm 62:5
