So on Tuesday I woke up with theeeee worst chest pains I think I have ever felt in my life. The pain started shooting down my left arm and I started to panic. Luckily Jeremy was home with me, so he called my baby doctor and some other nurses, and everyone said it's probably nothing, BUT it could be blood clots (since I guess they are super common during pregnancy) so I needed to go to the hospital. I was so scared. They hooked me up to a ton of little monitors so they could monitor me and the baby's heartbeat. They ran some blood tests first to see if they could rule out blood clots and they also did a chest x ray, which scared me way bad. I had to sign a consent form saying they could do the x ray even though I am pregnant. So now they have me all freaked out about anything bad happening to the baby from the x rays. WELL...the blood tests came back inconclusive, sooo they had to do a cat scan on me...which means another consent form and more dangers to the baby. In the meantime they hooked me up to a nexium IV for heartburn. I had to wait a half hour for all the test results to come back. And after all that, the doctor comes in and says it must be nothing big and sends me home!!! I'm glad it wasn't anything dangerous or scary, but Ive been really upset that I had to do all those tests that are dangerous to my baby. When we got home Jeremy said a prayer for me to help calm me down and he said everything I needed to hear. So now I feel a little more relaxed about it.
And hear is a picture of my belly at 16 weeks!! It's slowly starting to grow!!! Hopefully we will find out the gender of the baby BEFORE thanksgiving!!!!
