so ywsterday i went to urgnet care for a urinary tract infection....no big deal but my genrtal practitionaer couldnt' get me in for a few days and i am pregnant i didnt want to mess aroudn with it and went into the ER/urgent care. After they tested my uringe it came up negative for the urinary tract infection ( I also had a very frustrating conversation with the nurse practioner that i won't even go into) but i digress the transferred me to the er so they coudl test me more thouroughly.
where they immeadiatly started giving me the run down on all the myriad things that could be wrong.... primarily revolvong around things that could be wrong with my pregnancy.
then they go away for a long tiem...me with thoughts of ectopic pregnancies looming large in my brain...emerency surgery and a traumatized toddler.
after awhile they came ain adm did a pelvic, then soem blood work...and then finally a few hours later i get in for an ultrasound. I am at this point at the verge of tearsi am soo scared theya re going to tell me soemthing is wrong with my baby.
as i am crawling on the table the tech tells me she cant' tell me if anything is wrong or not... iask you can't even tell me if hte baby is in the right place? she says no...i'm sorry. I tell her that is ok i understand that it is not her doing. we bond aobut babies..she has a 15 month old dd...she is avery nice lady
so as the ultrasoudn progresses..she sort of pushes the ultrasoudn screen towrds me and finally whispers..there is your baby but you didn't hear it from me..and there it was..heart beating and everythign...i cried with relief....then she says..now this is the earliest i have ever seen gender so it is not for sure..but i hink i see boy parts...lol
and i coudl care less because now my baby is dancing on the screen clearly healthy and happy...YAY!!!!
lol i am soo glad that she was a mommy cause she totally undstood that you just can't leave apregnant mama hanging like that... thank goodness the releief that flooded me was unbielieavable.
anyway..waht is the result of all this..they'll call me in afew days if i have a urinary tract infection ...great..the whole reason i went to the er is so that i wouldnt' have to have it for a few more days...sigh
so with the exception of seeign the baby..which was great...but i wouldn't have needed in the first palce if it hadn't been for them...well...four and half hours down the drain.
buti did see the baby..and hear it's (his?) heartbeat..adn that was awsome
