Nugget, even at 11 weeks you sure know how to give momma a big scare.
It was a normal day at work. I wasn't being too active or anything but around 3 p.m. I went to the restroom and noticed a lot of blood. At first, I wanted to put it off as spotting but this is way more than that. After texting your dad, I decided to call the doctor's office. The nurse said Dr. Delgado wanted me to come in right away. I made it there in 10 minutes from phone call to doctor's office. When I got there, they wanted an urine sample and there was even more blood. I was terrified. I honestly thought I did something to put you in jeopardy. In just a few minutes, I went through what happened since my last appointment and tried to figure out if I did something that may have caused this. Terrified did not begin to describe what I was feeling.
Dr. Delgado came in to do the exam. The first thing he said was my cervix was still closed so that was a good sign. He began the ultrasound. The first thing he showed me was your little heart beating furiously away. You looked to be progressing well. After assuring me you're fine, he said he immediately saw what was the problem. I have something call subchorionic hematoma. It's where blood pulls between where you're nestled and the placenta. There's no treatment. The only thing I can do is take it easy. No lifting. No straining. No abrupt movements. Basically, bed rest without the bed. The condition is supposed to clear up on its own. I will continue to bleed until the pocket of blood is gone. I go back next week to get checked. Hopefully, the doctor will have good news that it has resolved itself. I would be12 weeks along, which is typically out of the danger zone. I am praying you will remain nestled in your little home, safe and sound.
