Bleeding scare
I had another scare on Monday night. Lots of red blood, but no clots and no pain. I saw the GP yesterday and fortunately all seems well with the baby. He felt my uterus and said if anything I was ahead of dates and he counted the heartrate at around 150 bpm.
The bleeding has now stopped, but the doctor thought it could be a low placenta and that could mean more bleeding. I was just starting to relax about reaching the second trimester. We even told MIL last week.
The doctor was really nice. I hadn't seen him before, but he was great. He told me about his wife's recent pregnancy with a low lying placenta and how hard it had been but had a happy ending. He also said that there is some evidence that it's more likely after an ERPC like I had in March. Why didn't the doctor who recommended it tell me that?
Anyway, I'm trying not to worry too much. On a happier note, DH and I had our 9th wedding anniversary last week. He took me to see We Will Rock You and we had a lovely day out with just the two of us (Luke was at my mum's).
How is everyone? It's been very quiet here recently.
