I am little embarrassed to be writing this, hopefully this will be the only time I freak out and rush to the ER.
I had awful back pain yesterday, 10x worse then it has been. I also had some cramping. In honesty it felt like I was getting my period. I just didn't feel right all day. I came home on my lunch to check the hb and everything was perfect. I had an OB appt today so just figured I would talk to him about not feeling good today. Well before I went to bed I decided to check the hb again. In the past I have had 0 trouble finding it, it's always in the same spot. well after 1/2hr of trying to find it I freaked out and scared Dh enough for him to say we need to go to the ER. So off we went.
Once there they were not able to find it with a doppler either. They finally called for an u/s but since it's a small hospital the u/s tech left at 11pm and needed to be called back. It seemed like forever, I laid there sure that he was gone. Finally we get the u/s and what do they find? A happy healthy little baby measuring right where he should be with a good hb.
I feel like I overreacted, but had I not felt like crap all day I may have not thought anything of it. My OB lectured me today about using the doppler so I think I may need to lay off it. It was scary, but I am so glad everything turned out fine.
Today I am exhausted from only getting 5hrs sleep, my back is still killing but dr said welcome to pregnancy. GREAT!
