I've had some cramping for the last few weeks. I didn't really think to much of it, remembering the round ligament pain I had while pregnant with my second daughter. Today I found some blood while using the bathroom, and I called the health link number and spoke to a nurse. She was more concerned about the cramping than the blood, and wanted me to go see someone within four hours.<br><br>
I waited for three hours at the walk-in clinic. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/irked.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="irked"> By then the bleeding had subsided to almost nothing, but the cramping was still there. The doc said he wasn't too worried but is ordering an ultrasound for me. Oh, and a blood test to make sure I'm *actually* pregnant. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/eyesroll.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="roll"> I haven't been to see a HCP because I only just got offered a space in a midwifery practice on Friday.<br><br>
I could really use some good vibes. I hate to freak out over something that could be nothing, but it's so hard not to worry.

I'd love to hear from the zen-like mamas who are able to actually DO what I'm trying so hard to...enjoy each day I'm pregnant, stay in the present, stay positive and just not worry. I wish you a speedy, reassuring ultrasound and a very sticky little bean.

Thank you so much for the support. It really helps!<br><br>
I have a u/s booked for this afternoon. I doubt they will actually tell me anything there, but hopefully the doc's office will get back to me soon.

(((hugs))) Its scary! I have been cramping for a couple weeks, but when I called the dr this morning they didn't seem too worried at all... *sigh* Thats my baby in there!<br><br>
I hope everything looks great this afternoon!

I've been draping off and on and asked my RE, they said they would be shocked if a lady did not report cramping at some point in the first two months.<br><br>
Warm healthy vibes headed your way, I'm sure things are fine.

I went for the u/s this afternoon.<br><br>
I need to go back to the referring doc to get the full results, but the good news is I have a uterine pregnancy, measuring 7 weeks and with a heartbeat.<br><br>
They can't confirm or deny an ectopic pregnancy (they couldn't see one side for some reason), but told me it's really unlikely with a confirmed uterine pregnancy. If I have more definitive symptoms of an ectopic I'm supposed to go to emergency for another u/s.<br><br>
Sooo, I'm taking this as good news and hoping that everything will be very uneventful from now on!

What # baby is this for you? I find I cramp more in each pregnancy. I bled until 10 weeks or so with my daughter because of a subchorionic hemorrhage and it was so scary. I spent 12 hours in the ER one night, 8 before I was even seen. I was a wreck. Everything was fine though. Glad you saw your babe! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/joy.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="joy">

This is #3 (guess I should finally get around to making a new siggy!). Thank you for sharing your experience: it must have been terrifying for you but it is very reassuring!
