Well I had an interesting Thursday at the ER. Started with some cramping that was bad enough to be sent home from work, but not bad enough for me to rush off to the ER right away. I cam home, took a bath, tried to relax but the cramping didn’t much stop so off I went to the ER since at this point I haven’t seen my OB/GYN because she doesn’t start working until Aug 3rd. After I got there it was one surprise after another. Oh the Dr. didn’t tell you that we were gonna draw blood? No. Oh the Dr. didn’t tell you that you have to have a catheter to do an ultra sound this early? BIG HUGE NO! Oh well it’s only a short small amount of pain and then it’s just uncomfortable. Um okay. SHE IS A LIAR! It hurt like hell and I will never willfully have that done ever, ever again. Next surprise was Oh they didn’t tell you that we were also going to do an internal ultra sound and that I am going to be shoving this magic wand larger than any penis or vibrator known to man in your most private region? Yeah well lady I’m gonna. I wish we were done with the surprises but not so much. Taking the catheter out is supposed to be relatively painless also, tell that to the girl who screamed like a baby because it felt like it was ripping every part of her insides out. Lastly after all was said and done and I have a diagnosis of, well it looks like this might be par for the course on this pregnancy, every one is different and I know you didn’t have these pains with your son but the baby is fine and everything looks great. I’ll just get your papers and you rest for 3 days. Okay, well the nurse comes back with said papers and says Oh and the Dr. forgot to tell you that you also have a UTI which could be part of the reason for the cramping and pain during the catheter, here’s an antibiotic. Well thankyouverymuch! I felt oh so violated when I left but on the upside I did get to see that baby and that teeny tiny little heartbeat, that was going high 160’s to low 170’s BPM, so let us all pray that is a sign that it’s a girl. Well that and everything is so much different from my son. Also found out that while I thought I was about 2 months pregnant, actually I am more like 3 and at the very tail end of the 1st trimester. How oh how did I make it through the 1st trimester and only feel a little nauseous and only get sick a handful of times. With Ayden I was sick everyday, all day.
