It's All Gonna Be Alright

Well we finally found out what happened with the baby. I went to the Dr. this Wednesday and we had another u/s. The sac was still measuring 5w2d. My numbers had risen so I just could not understand. Well, it finally made sense when the Dr. started talking. I have an ectopic pregnancy. The baby never made it to my uterus. It can be very dangerous and it is the 2nd leading cause in death of pregnant people.

I had a D&C on Friday (yesterday) to clean out everything. I go back on Monday to have my levels checked again. If they have not gone down then that means the baby is in my fallopian tube and was not cleaned out during the D&C. If the numbers didn't go down then I will go in on Thursday for surgery on my tube. I pray that I don't have to have this done.

I feel remarkably great considering that I was put out completely during the procedure. I am a little tired but only because I woke up at 4:15 Friday morning to be at the hospital at 5:30. Lee took the kids to school and just made it in time to pick me up, which was fine. The worst part of it all was taking the antibiotic before the procedure and then dry heaving it up. Yuck! They gave me some Zofram and I felt much better. They only knocked me completely out because the Dr. thought I might throw up during the procedure and choke myself. I'm glad she was precautious.

I felt good afterwards and went in w/ Lee to p/u my prescription at Publix and even did some grocery shopping. I came home and worked a little bit and then took a small nap. Today my entire body feels incredibly sore which I'm not sure why. Other than that I'm great.

I feel like this entire event was meant to be. I think it helped Lee and I really realize that we did want one more child after all. And if we don't get pregnant again then that is fine too. I'm blessed with two wonderful children already.

I'm going to try and get the kids some Christmas gifts. I'm behind. I spent too much time worrying over this entire thing.
