Today I learned if you call the baby doctor staff twice they decide to get you in for an ultrasound early to calm you down. For my first pregnancy and with my mom's history swimming in my head, I am worried that our little one will not hang on so I am taking it seriously if anything is out of the normal.
First, I had SUPER intense cramps that made me almost pass out at work. I thought that seemed a little abnormal so I called the nursing staff to make sure there was nothing to worry about. They sent me in for blood work and said as long as there is no spotting, we are good to go. Great!
Second, I had my routine blood work come in for my primary doctor today and it was much lower than what it should have been based on my previous test results. So, thinking it being low was bad and with my primary doctor on vacation, I called them to make sure it was normal since I couldn't ask the primary! Apparently, this makes me paranoid and crazy and deserving of an early ultrasound.
I have to say that I am not really upset by this result because I am dying to see the baby and hear its heartbeat but now I am marked as a crazy patient, I am sure...goody. But at least when they meet me, they will know I am a NICE crazy lady... :)
Hopefully, my ultrasound on Thursday will go well and we will hear a strong little heartbeat beating away. I am not sure what I will do if bad news comes but at least Adam will be there so we can either rejoice or mourn together.
