So, I started bleeding a week ago. It wasn't heavy and was mostly brown in colour (old blood, not quite as bad as if it were new), but enough to be very scary. Stayed off my feet until Monday came around (continued to bleed a little) and went to see the Doc who recommended bed rest. Said it was maybe a small tear or something which could heal if I gave it a chance. Also sent me for a scan which happened on Wednesday - and showed a little tiny 8 week old baby alive in there - hurrah!
Still having small brown bleeds, but taking it extremely easy and doing bugger all. Which is, of course, driving me MAD and I am BORED BORED BORED. Today I watched a 'Buffy Marathon' on TV - 10 hours of non stop TV. I feel like my body will explode with inactivity. Of course the inactivity also bothers me because of the potential for blood clots, so all in all I'm hoping that I can get past this episode as soon as possible and start to be more active.
Mood wise I'm feeling very irritable due to the inactivity and, no doubt, hormones.
My dad called on Christmas Day to wish us a Happy Christmas and D said to him on the phone 'mummy's got a baby in her tummy'. So sweet. Dad is pleased and concerned (blood clot issues again) for me. He's away on holiday right now though, so I'll talk more fully with him when he gets back and is in more regular contact. I have the appt. with the haematologist on Jan 6th to look forward to, and hopefully that'll set my mind at ease a little about the clotting issues.
