This has just been a really craptastical week and I wish I could fast forward to Monday (I know, usually nobody wants Monday to come, but I'm waiting on it.)
I've been cramping this whole pregnancy. I know, everyone says it's normal in early pregnancy, the uterus is stretching and making room for baby, but I never had it with my first and it made me nervous. Still, I told myself that maybe it was more severe because this was my second or something, and I ignored it.
Well, last night it was pretty bad. And when it spread to my back, I decided to go into the ER to have them check me out. I thought it would put my mind at ease, and now...
The good news is they gave me a pelvic and saw no blood. The bad news is, my hgc levels are lower than they'd like (452) and when they gave me an ultrasound, they couldn't see the baby (which, isn't a total shocker, because my HGC levels have to be at 1500 before they can see a baby.) HCG is supposed to double every 48-72 hours, so they're sending me in Sunday to get blood drawn. If they double, or rise significantly, that means that I'm probably earlier along in my pregnancy than they thought. If they don't, it means we're losing the baby.
Please, you guys, please pray for us. I know the timing isn't right for a baby, but I don't want to lose this one, and I'm just so scared.

Oh, poor you!I'm praying for you with all my heart and sending positive vibes your way. Don't stress yourself out - I know, easier said than done! - everything will be fine...
Oh dear. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything is fine.
And like Loner said, don't stress yourself out. Try to find something to do to take your mind of everything (including your FIL).

Take to bed rest and just try not to worry. Read a good book nothing tradgic. Have hubby take care of Cayden. You take care of yourself and of course I'll be praying for you.
I'm sending postitive energy your way. Don't stress youself out, eveything is going to be ok.
You're in my prayers, sweetie. When I was pregnant the second time, we had to go a weekend wondering, are we or aren't we because those freakin levels weren't where they should be and the ultrasound they performed couldn't find anything. I went to get another ultrasound on the Monday or Tuesday after at a different place and they found my precious boy on the 1st try. Take it easy. God Bless. mum
Praying for you Laura!
my thoughts and love go our to you and your family.
I had to go in and do the HCG tests, too -- at about 4-5 weeks along...It's scary, but try not to stress!! How far along do you think you are?
I couldn't get an ultrasound till I was in my 7th week, almost 8. They told me any earlier and it's not a guarantee that you'll see a heartbeat and that just leads to more stress...
As you know, I had the spotting a couple times early on and then this placenta issue now -- it's hard to remain calm, but it's the best thing for you and baby! Put your feet up and let everyone take care of you!!!!
You're in my thoughts and prayers!
All of my prayers and good thoughts are coming to you!
I had severe cramping with my pregnancy.. so severe, i would faint from my blood pressure going up and down from the pain..it lasted 3 weeks.. it was the cyst that stays in there til your placenta forms.. it scared me too..
