First Scare

Before taking a shower this afternoon I peed first and when I wiped there was a bit of mucus-y spotting. Scared me enough to get my ass into bed. What scares me is that I'm only 12w, this did not start last time until I was 14-15w along. Baby is not very big at all. I had an u/s on Thursday, but it was not a vaginal one so it should not cause any spotting.

My next fear is that my cervix is shortening and I'll need an emergency cerclage. As silly as it sounds the whole idea of having one scares me. I don't like the thought of them doing it and I don't really want one done unless absolutely necessary. I'd rather try bed rest then jump right into having the stitches put in.

I'm going to stay in bed for the rest of the evening/weekend and if I'm still spotting on Sunday I'll head to the ER. I have a doctor appointment on Wednesday and she is checking it then, so hopefully will be ok.

I did forget to take my 2 pills the night before and did not realize it until yesterday afternoon, so as per the instructions I just took 2 last night and not 4. I'm hoping that is all it is.
