Re:Wonderful in its own way in_search_of: SE! Thanks, its been good to hear that some bleeding is normal, and they did see the heartbeat, and saw the peanut moving around. In fact, the little peanut was moving around in grand fashion. Kicking and moving arms, and we saw one thing that was quite a jump, which I think was the reaction to the US guy using a little too much pressure.
But, you are right, it was quite scary, and this laying around on the couch all day has been crappy, and tomorrow and probably tuesday are going to be the same thing. And I have a feeling I might go out of my mind.
Poor George had it worst I think. Since he didn't really know how bad the bleeding was until we got to the hospital, and as I changed into my gown, he noticed blood running down my leg. The he freaked totally. We were sure for a bit that we had lost the baby, and so we were in tears when they came in to get me for the US...poor guy, he keeps remembering that he has never really shown so much emotion for people in general, and then he was worried that not only was the baby in some danger but me. He was all in a tizzy, and has been home a couple of times today during his shift to check in on me.
So far, there has been no bleeding today, just some light spotting. So that has been a relief. It was just the sheer amount of blood yesterday with the cramps that caused quite a freak out.
And I think this is all worse for him, due to another situation that I have not posted about. Which perhaps I should....

Trust me when I say this....Everything will be just fine! That I can almost tell you with a 100% certaintly. Like I said it happened both pregnancies and it is really scary but you realize when it all happening how much you want that baby!!! :) Rest is the best thing right now and eating (of course!!! gotta love that part!)
Just enjoy the rest and getting to see your little peanut on US. That is the best part! They don't let you see the little one long enough. ;)
Take it easy!

Re:Wonderful in its own way dj: Huge, huge, huge bear hugs (but gently) ISO...what a scary thing to have happen, especially on your first "peanut". My ex had some bleeding as well, and my family history is such that I flew into a panic...so tell g that dj knows the feeling...I hope that you are feeling better today and that things progress much more smoothly from here on out...

Re:Wonderful in its own way in_search_of: we went to the OB this morning, and everything seems to be fine, we were able to hear the little peanut's heart beat on the doppler, and so everything seems to be good.
So, that being said and done, everything seems to be good (but just to be on the safe side, I took today off, and have been lounging around).
Thanks everyone!
