On Tuesday

I did not feel well on Monday night, so I got in the bed early, but could not sleep.  I woke up at 4:30 in the morning for probably the 3rd or 4th time and went to the bathroom.  I discovered I was bleeding and it looked pretty heavy to me.  I did not call the doctor bc I knew there was nothing they could do if the pregnancy was failing.  SO I laid in the bed and waited and waited until I could call my boss and the doctor at a reasonable hour.  I stayed in the bed all morning and then got in to see the doctor at 1:00.  We did an ultrasound and I did not want to look at the screen, then the tech said, “we have two heartbeats…” so I looked.  Both babies were doing great, Baby B had a growth spurt and was measuring 11 weeks and 5 days, just like Baby A.  Baby B’s heartbeat was 173, and Baby A’s heartbeat was 180.  She checked everything out and found no reason for the bleed on the ultrasound, and then we saw the doctor.  The doctor did an exam and he said the bleed, wherever it was, had stopped.  So he told me to go home and lay low for the rest of the day, but said I could go back to work the next day.  I have had no other problems.  I ended up going ahead and getting the Rho-gam shot, since there was blood involved.  He said that I needed to take it easy for the next two weeks and that I could keep up my normal activities for now.  So I am still free to go on my next sales trip and work as usual for now.
