An evening in Labor & Delivery

Last night was possibly the most scarey night of my life. Then I got to feel stupid.

SO...It was a rough day. I only got 2 hours of sleep in that 24 period of time. Then I wake up and use the restroom before Gregg and I go to get corn dogs. What freaking happens ? I'm BLEEDING. Oh my word I immediately go into panic mode knowing that I had to go the hospital now. It was light enough I wasn't sure if it would be worth the money though.

After asking everyone if I should go , Gregg and I finally decide that it's probably nothing , but that we should go anyways. So I show up and they get me all admitted. The babys heartbeat was fine , she kept moving around making it difficult to get a good reading though. The only potential problem was my blood pressure was pretty high. 140 over 85. So they kept monitoring my blood pressure. My doctor said he wasn't too worried though since it's always been high.

Long story short , they're pretty sure that Gregg and I just have different blood types and that the baby has Gregg's blood type and not mine. They said sometimes when mother and baby have different blood types it can cause bleeding. After checking my cervix to make sure I wasn't dilating any , I was good to go home. They told me to return if it continued overnight or if it got worse. Luckily that didn't happen and Zoe is still baking away. In fact , she's been super active today. So i'm feeling pretty good.
