I'm home under doc's orders for a couple of days for some much needed rest. The past two/three days I've had some sharp pain in the right side of my abdomen and then I had some spotting. It's my first baby so at times I dont' know what to feel. Am I being overly cautious and thinking the worst over everything? Or is it better to be safe than sorry?
The spotting immediately steered me into "better safe than sorry" mode. This morning I got myself to our mother-baby unit and checked myself in. The staff was great. They took me pretty quickly, hooked me up to some monitors and did some tests.
The baby looks good, lots of fluid and he's moving around a lot...the placenta is high but there may be some signs of stress.
So a few days home to rest is what it is. I feel better having gone....and one silver lining: the nausea is totally subsiding (no puking!) so that's a definite bonus.
