Spotting - Updated

So I haven't spotted at all up until Monday (right at 9 weeks). I had a little bit of spotting Monday, but figured it was just from a busy weekend in NYC. Then yesterday when I wiped I had a decent amount of bright red blood. I freaked out and went to my REs. He wasn't in but I was able to get an U/S and speak with the nurse. Luckily the baby looked great, but they couldn't figure out why I was spotting. The nurse and U/S tech gave me a good scolding about doing to much (apparently walking around NYC for the weekend is not on the approved activity lists) and then sent me home to lay down for the rest of the day.


9 weeks 1 days

Today I am having even more bright red spotting. My RE is still out of town so I called my OBGYN to see if I can get in with her to do an internal exam today. I'm not supposed to see her until the 19th, but her nurse said she'd talk with her and see if they could squeeze me in or if she thought I should go to the ER. So now I am sitting here, panicking waiting for the nurse to call me back. Say a little prayer for us.

UPDATE:
The nurse finally called me back and said the doctor couldn't see me, so if i was really concerned I could go to the ER. ummm, thanks but no. Anyway, I'm at home resting. I called my RE's nurse and she said everything is probably fine but she'd talk to my RE and get back to me. I hate being one of those crazy pregnant ladies.

Oh my goodness...you must be so scared. I hope its just overactivity and that the baby is OK. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

You are taking all the right steps. Thankfully the U/S went well yesterday but make sure they see you today...spotting can be caused by a variety of things. I know you are panicked but try to relax as best you can...watch a movie, read a book- something to ease your mind while you wait. I'm sending you good vibes...everything will be ok!

You aren't one of those crazy pregnant ladies - bleeding/ spotting is scary!

I hope you hear back from the RE and they can get you in tomorrow!

Ok I can't believe they wouldn't see you!!! I know we've talked about that before, but annoying. And, so scary that you had to deal with all of this.
