Another Scare!!!

I'm sorry I haven't been on for so long. I've been too sleepy to type lol. So let me tell you how my week has gone so far!

So on Tuesday evening, I went home from work and noticed I was spotting bright red blood!!! I called the on-call doctor and she said for me to lie down with my feet up and to come into the office in the morning. She didn't want me to go to the ER because of the stress they may put me through (she was a woman who seemed sensitive to my feelings.) Anyway, I call out sick and I went to the doctor yesterday morning and the doctor (another female) said the bleeding could be from my cervix, placenta, or baby! So the doctor did a quick exam and said my cervix was good. Then she tried to use the Doppler and couldn't find the heart beat so she did a sono. We saw the baby and the heart was beating. The baby even did a little dance for us LOL. He shook one leg, then another, then his arms!! So then we went to get a real sonogram with a tech and they said that I have a low line placenta and that may block the baby during delivery. I have another appt with the doctor tomorrow and he'll tell me more about this. I looked it up and basically it's something that could correct itself but if it doesn't then I would have to have a c-section because it could come out first during deliver (bad) or it could block the baby's way out (also bad!) Also the tech said the baby may be a boy!! Which is why I keep saying "he." But she won't confirm until my next appt. AND best of all, I stopped bleeding!! They did say if I started bleeding then I got to be on bedrest until it stops. I had a mental talk with the baby and God and said the more time I take off now, the less time I'll have with the baby. They both listened!

I will update you guys with my follow-up appointment which is today.
