Yep 10 weeks...ER scare

yep 10 weeks, due august 11, 2009... crazy. No i didn't go to the doctor.. i actually went to the emergency room. brian came last weekend to get us, and i raced around all morning sunday gettin things together, gettin ready to walk out the door.. and i got a horrible pain in my side.. i fell to the ground in tears, cuz i was cramping so bad on my left side.
mom watched taylor, and brian took me to the emergency room... i had 2 people ahead of me, and i was in alot of pain. We finally got in, i had no answers for anyone, i didn't know my last period, i had to explain the whole birth control thing, and then i had no idea how far along i was...
the doctor comes in... and gives us the biggest scare ever.. he was fair warning us what could be the problem, and what would need to be done. He said it sounded like a ectopic pregnancy and he asked me if i knew what that was.. and i did and immediately felt sick to my stomache... tried so hard not to cry, and he explained to brian what it was... and he said if that was the case then they would have to eliminate it, and if i was in my early weeks, we could do it by a pill, but if i was further along, it would have to be done by surgery. Im freakin out.. and thinkin OMG, im goin to lose my baby and im goin to have to go into surgery... i was a basket case... we were there for 5 or 6 hours, gettin lots of tests done, blood work, and then they took me in for a vaginal ultrasound, and we were in there for about 35 min... and nothin is being said, im layin there staring at the ceiling, and lookin at everyones faces.. trying to get some what of an idea what the heck was goin on...

finally i asked, and of course the lady doin the ultrasound, super nice, but explained to me, that she wasn't suppose to say anything, that the doctor will deliver the results.. so i asked do you know how far along i am.. she again said i can't tell you, but i will show you my numbers...
and she showed us the baby, from what i could tell the baby looked like it was in my uterus, so that made me feel a lil better but at the same time i didn't want to assume, and be told otherwise... we got to hear the baby's heartbeat... this was brians first time with all of that, but of course couldn't enjoy any of it, cuz we didn't know if everything was okay.

we get back to my room, doctor comes in, tells us everything looks good on paper, the baby is okay, he can't pinpoint the pain in my side, but ovaries and everything was good, and that the baby was indeed in the uterus.... however, he said your body is tellin you something, so we can't be quite sure, he said becuz everything looks okay on paper, doesn't mean that there isn't something wrong with the pregnancy, it might be too soon to tell. he referred me to hughes for an emergency room follow up, he wanted to compare my blood count from that day to my follow up... he said with being pregnant the numbers should double on a daily basis with horomone levels ... so if my numbers are up then everything is good, if my numbers are down, it means something is wrong.

I called lifestages on monday, told them everything that the doctor told me and the soonest i can get in is jan. 28th, and its right after they open... if anything happens in the mean time im suppose to go back to the emergency room.

so it was very scary, he put me on bed rest for the week, which feels more like house arrest, i have no car, and im stuck in this house... i begged brian to come get us this weekend, even if we will be home for a week, and have to come back... but you know how things go with my mom when im here for awhile.. and sunday i had alot of help from mom and coley... as for yesterday and the rest of the week... no.
im really annoyed, i still have the pain in my side, not as bad as it was that night i went in.... but i have a prescription for the pain, but pretty much im just stuck with it...

Im wondering, if it might have something to do with my rib... remember way back when i had that whole issue with my rib, and to this day i still can't lay on that side at times. the only thing is, there really is no way to tell without an xray, but i can't do that while pregnant, so i reallly don't know what to think..

well anyways, i wanted to clue you in on everything over the weekend. i really haven't done much since i've been here again... but as crazy as it will sound, i am leaving this weekend, goin home for a week, will be back next weekend and here for the week... and then i need to be here until feb 7th... kylas baby shower... then i can go home hopefully for awhile.
