Whew!

I went in to finally meet my new OBGYN. She rocks!

For some reason or another, my other Doc had closed down his office. Not too sure why or where he is, but I think it's a family matter and he had to leave PRONTO! I hope all is well with him and his family.

Long story short, I had my first ultrasound on the 15th of December and when I went in a week later to see my Doc for a follow up, he wasn't there. I had some Sub-Doc...sure, it happens. Well, this guy kept asking me if experienced any bleeding at all. I said no. Then he asked again, (like he was trying to see if I forgot or something, sorry, but this isn't something you forget to tell your Doc.) I again said no. He had me listen to the heartbeat, said it sounded good and strong, then asked me to follow him. We went into his office where he told me that they found some blood on my uterus and if I start to bleed heavy (spotting is normal) or cramp badly, to go the emergency room NOW. No waiting around at home to see if it will go away. He said he wanted to give me the head's up JUST IN CASE. Well, this was all that he pretty much told me and sent me on my way. Meanwhile I just find out that I am now without a regular Doctor, worries me just before x-mas and I am supposed to feel HAPPY & GOOD? Just WHO do I call if I have questions? I have been freaking out and kind of depressed about all this. I am inbetween stages where the baby can be faintly felt, but then you think...is this baby or gas? Thoughts going through my head, weird dreams going on...it hasn't been pretty. Most would think that the first trimester is the one to worry about regarding miscarriage...WRONG. I have already lost one child, I'm not in the mood to even MAYBE lose another.

Thankfully, I now have a new Doc and she seems pretty cool. We chatted for a bit, I told her about what was said to me and how it freaked me out a bit. I realize that he was giving me the head's up just so I didn't sit at home picking my ass waiting, meanwhile something bad was going on that I was unaware of. She agreed with me about how he could have gone about it a little differently and not make it sound so scary. I heard the heartbeat and will be going in for my second ultrasound on Friday February 17th. So far, things sound/look good. She assured me that this IS common (with the blood on the uterus due to implantation) however, it's nothing to be too concerned about. My ultrasound should let us all know if whatever was there is still there or has disappeared.

I am feeling a bit better about this, but won't be 100% until the baby is BORN. LOL. I will also be finding out what the sex of the baby is. I will not announce what it is, in case there are people who read this that would rather stay surprised.

Anyone like to wager a guess? PINK or BLUE?
