Dumbass Moment #486
For some reason, this whole pregnancy I’ve been very nervous. I’ve had a bad feeling that something will go wrong. I try not to think about this bad feeling, however, lest it become a self-fulfilling prophecy (as negative thoughts tend to do).
That’s why, at our first doctor’s appointment for Navan, I was a little unsettled. Then it happened. After my sonogram, I was getting dressed and noticed some spotting. Naturally, I completely ignored the fact that I’d just seen a normal, healthy baby moving around on the sonogram not 45 seconds earlier…and started to panic. I had heard people experience spotting sometimes and it’s totally normal. I told the doctor and they said I should not exercise for 2 weeks and made a note in my file to check with me at my next appointment to be sure the spotting had stopped.
On the way home, it hit me.
I wasn’t spotting. I’d cut myself shaving that morning and forgot about it. That’s where the “spotting” came from. A cut.
Pretty sure I deserve a huge pat on the back for that one. Definitely can’t wait to explain to my OB that I am a dumbass.
