How I ended up in the ER

Yesterday was a long day. I was not feeling good at all. But as the day went on my stomach -and all abdomen- increased its pain. By 5pm, the pain was really bad. I started crying and called my midwife. She said: 'go to the ER'. That got me even more worried.

My husband took me to the hospital. They checked my bloods pressure, temperature, urine. Everything seemed to be okay. But still my mind couldn't stop thinking on Baby J. 'Is he okay?' 'Will he be fine?''What if this is something serious?'...

My mind found its peace the minute we saw him in the ultrasound. His heart was beating fast and he was moving a lot, putting his fingers in his mouth. So beautiful! I felt like I could breath again and so does my husband.

After it, they did a cervix exam to make sure my cervix was closed. And yes it was...

They couldn't tell me what caused the pain. But they assured us that it was nothing to be worried. 'Just rest and relax, it seems to be related to your pregnancy'...

We went home and I felt asleep cuddling with my husband; and even though I still had a little bit of pain, I rested because I knew that our munchkin was doing well.
