Slight hiccup

Well, that was nearly the shortest blog ever! Last Friday night - woke up thinking I was having a bladder malfunction & spent the next 8 hours firmly believing I was having a miscarriage. Went to A&E after one hour of it - at about 1am & was given a quick scan & exam - everything looking fine then (apart from all the blood, of course) - but after another 7 hours of it and then a week's wait before a full scan was feeling completely hopeless.
Went for the scan yesterday, though, and the baby is still moving & has heart beat. I have a sub-chorionic bleed which could be seen to one side of the baby. Apparently these 'usually' resolve themselves & get reabsorbed... I googled what happens when they don't & wished I hadn't.
Anyway. Now on sofa-rest - no lifting, carrying, exercising, doing anything fun basically. Am determined to make the most of it (Dom's under doctor's orders to do everything for me!) and am watching Battlestar Galactica whilst knitting an orange dinosaur. (Desperately trying not to keep eating since I can't do anything to shift the extra weight now...)
