We're fine, LO and I both. But I've been having anything from what my midwife calls "sludge" (need I say more? No, I don't think I will!) to moderate, "Ok, if this gets ANY heavier or doesn't stop in an hour, I'm going to be driving to the clinic STAT" red bleeding, both with and without cramping, since two days before I found out I was pregnant. I'm now 12 weeks, and it's not happening as frequently, but still, about twice a week or so...there it is again. I've had 3 appointments with my CNM, everything's going swimmingly. Numbers are good, little niblet is even sucking his thumb on the ultrasound now - SO stinkin' cute. But still, every time I see this happen again, a tiny part of me gets scared.
I look on it as the universe's way of reminding me to relax and stop trying to control everything, or be perfect, but I'm so over it.





Thank god the midwife saw me on Sunday so I could stop thinking of all the what-ifs--turns out I have a very irritated cervix that is prone to bleeding now! The midwife likened my cervix to a skinned knee!
At least I have answers and everything is well, but I keep thinking WHY can't I just have an uneventful, no bleeding pregnancy??
