My Scary Moment

On Thursday the 16th I was at work and started having intense pelvic and ovarian type pain. I was freaked out and immediately left my shift to go the er, thinking I was miscarrying.

When I got to the hospital er I signed in and started waiting, texting my husband to hurry up and get there because I didn't want to be alone. A dark headed woman came up to me and introduced herself as Misty. She had overheard the concern in my voice when I was explaining what was happening to the triage nurse. She held my hand and we talked about how scared I was and how much I wanted and already loved and how much I wanted this baby. She stayed with me for an hour and a half while Jeff finished his shift and came over to join me. I never got her last name but she was basically a guardian angel for me at that moment.

Once I finally got called back they gave me a heplock and took several tubes of blood to begin labwork. I put a hospital gown on and about another hour of waiting I was taken back for an ultrasound.
Back at the ultrasound I was too early for the tech to be able to see anything using the abdominal wand  so he needed to use the vaginal probe... Fun stuff! I wasn't allowed to look while the ultrasound was being performed but I caught a peek of the little space in my uterus that was my little one.

I was discharged about an hour later because everything looked good with my little one. I was measuring 5w 3d and was looking good. The pain was a result of a corpus lutuem cyst and round ligament pain emphasized by stress, so doctors orders were to take the next few days and rest to try to de-stress. So I took Friday off to rest.

So far that's my scariest moment and I hope that it stays that way since I am so paranoid of something happening to this baby.

Ouch :(
