So after my episode at the hospital on Friday night the doctor told me that I would experience spotting due to the digital exam.  I was feeling good not seeing any bleeding at all, but that all changed yesterday when I noticed the toilet paper looked pinkish.  Of course I didn't know if it was just due to it being new toilet paper and just looked pinkish.  Then today I had some brown blood mixed with mucus first thing this morning.  So I am not sure what to think.  No blood or spotting since.  So either this is left over from the digital exam 3 days ago or I may be losing some of the mucus plug.

This afternoon I had monitoring and my 3 weeks growth scan.  The baby wasn't co-operating well for the NST - moving around too much so I almost got a BPP, but the doctor came in and adjusted things.  Of course this made for a very long NST appt, but it didn't matter because I still had to wait for my u/s afterwards and that ended being almost an hour wait.  I forgot to bring something to drink with me so I was extremely thirsty, made worse with the fact I caught dd's cold so I'm not feeling very well today. 

The u/s went alright.  She went through the measurements quickly at the end so I never really got to see anything so I was glad I got to talk to the doctor before leaving.  He also cleared things up for me from last u/s because I was concerned about the head and leg measuring behind.  He said the baby went from the 35% last time to 50 something today.  That the abdomen is still ahead, head a week behind and limbs a few days behind, but these aren't important.  He said the head last time measured 30cm and they don't get concerned unless it is under 27cm so there is nothing to be concerned about.  Because of this I decided to make the next scan for 3 weeks instead of 2 since I am not as concerned about growth anymore since the baby seems to be growing decently.  Of course this may change and I may not even make it 3 more weeks, so we shall see how things go.  My bp's have been all over the place this weekend.  After being borderline high for the last few weeks they went down to values they were back in the Fall this weekend so I don't know.  My guess is they are going labile, but who knows if it will lead to anything or not.

While I was out this afternoon I also got a call from the very first client I had needing a rabies vacc for her dog.  I know I shouldn't be working, but figure since things are going well and it will be a quick appt of a long time client I have no choice, but to take it, so I made it for Sunday as long as all goes well.  Of course if I start bleeding or getting high bp I will have to cancel the appt.
