Another big scare

I was woken by pain and bright red bleeding early this morning and immediately assumed the worst. Rang my Obstetrician's rooms and was scheduled to see the doctor for an ultrasound to check on bub. After losing quite a lot of fresh blood, and being in so much pain, I was worried we'd lost the baby or, the slightly more positive outcome would be that the hemorrhage was responsible, but either way I was stressing about what was wrong. Thankfully the ultrasound showed our beautiful baby seemingly unaware of any problems, sucking its hand and sleeping, with its strong little heart beating away. The doctor put my pain and bleeding down to the hemorrhage and once again prescribed complete bed rest. As terrifying as it is to have these scares so often, at least I know we've got a little fighter in there. As a mother, I want to wrap my child up and protect it from any harm or danger. I often feel so helpless that things are out of my control. But I believe this baby was sent to us for a reason and really wants to be here, so I'll continue to do everything I can to ensure this pregnancy is a healthy and happy one.
