A few days prior to our first ultrasound I started spotting
late one evening. I had very painful cramps and then I started bleeding.
And crying.
We were terrified. We called the clinic’s emergency number and
phoned a medical friend. I stayed on the couch, drank a lot of liquids, and
tried to relax. Yeah right.
They told us that if I started bleeding heavily to go to the
ER immediately to make sure that I did not have an ectopic pregnancy. A small
chance apparently, but one that could cause me to bleed to death. If I
continued to have bleeding or cramping I should go in to the ER to have an
ultrasound. If not, I just needed to take it easy and wait the few days until our appointment at the clinic.
I took it easy and the bleeding stopped. But we were scared. It was a long night and an even longer few days.
