Trip to the ER

I had been havin sharp pains on my left side, real bad sometimes. I would double over in pain at times. I tried to hide this from people because I didn't want to admit that something could be wrong with the baby.

I hadn't been to the doctor yet as I was waiting for my insurance to kick in. But I was on babycenter.com and found a thing about tubal pregnancy. It scared me so bad. Everything that they said points to a tubal pregnancy I had going on. So I called my sister and asked her what she thought, she said I should go to the ER.

So James, my mom, and I went to the ER. I was actually brought back pretty quick. When I told them my syptoms they said the wanted to do a ultrasound to make sure the baby is where it was supposed to be. This just made my fear worse, they were thinking the same thing I was.

They said first they were going to take me in for a pelvic exam, so my mom and James stayed in the original room. Before they even did the pelvic exam they took me back to do the ultrasound. I told them my mom and James wanted to be there for it, but they said since it was intervaginal ultrasound they didnt need to come. I personally think they didn't want them back there incase something was wrong.

After the ultrasound tech probed around my vajayjay for what seemed like forever she showed me my baby. It just looked like a little pumpkin seed, but she said it looked good, and was actually mesuring ahead from the due date DSHS gave me. I asked the lady if she was able to give a picture and she said they don't do that in the ER, then before they wheeled me back out she gave it to me and told me to hide and not to let anyone know she did it. I was so excited.

I got my pelvic exam done and went back into my room. After a bit the doctor came in and said there was a healthy 6 week old baby. I asked him what was causing the pain and he told me I had cysts on both of my ovaries and that they should not harm the baby and would burst or melt away within a few days. One burst that night then the other the next day.

I never thought I would be so happy to hear that I had cysts. I really thought something was wrong with our baby. Cysts, I could deal with... losing my baby I couldn't.
