A wittle bitty scare from Cojac!

On Wednesday I woke up with cramps and bleeding. I was a little concerned but not overly freaked out. I showered and then headed to the doctor. The cramps got worse so I became more concerned.

On the drive in, I called and my doctor Anne was off for the day. So another doctor was going to see me. When I was 10 minutes away, the nurse Patsy called and told me to go for an ultrasound and then come to the office that Anne would meet me there.... and that's when I lost it. I asked why Anne was coming in on her day off to see me?! I was crying asking Patsy was something wrong was I miscarrying?! She said "I'm not sure, get the ultrasound and come here."

Well, that was not reassuring. So, I sat in my car, cried a little, prayed a lot and then sat hoping nothing was wrong.

The ultrasound showed baby Cojac flipping around like an acrobat with a heartbeat of 158. I was relieved and cried again.

I went to Anne's office and the verdict was that my placenta is low and sitting on my cervix and causing bleeding. Also, my colon was inflamed, so I need to stay away from nuts and seeds and drink water water water. Nothing to be worried about for now. Nothing high impact and just relax. We hope that as my uterus expands the placenta will pull up and all will be well.

Here is sweet Little Cojac at W14D1. That profile looks like non other than.... Cody Berry!!!! ;)
