Placing my hand over my stomach I  prayed my baby was okay.

"Babe are you okay?".

I bit my lip hard. What if something  was wrong? What if I was losing the  baby?

"Hey what's-…". He paused.

"I think there's something wrong". Myvoice barely a whisper I was trying so  hard not to cry.

"I'll call the pack doctor".

"No". I grabbed his hand."I want togo to the hospital; I need to go to the  hospital". I couldn't keep the what ifs  out my head and until I knew my baby  was okay, I couldn't settle."Then we'll go to the hospital".

I couldn't understand why he was  being so calm. I felt like I was going to  be sick, I was filled with worry. I was  completely dazed and zoned out that I  didn't notice he left the bathroom.

I went back into the bedroom and sat  on the edge of the bed. I couldn't help  the tears rolling down my cheeks. I  wanted to stay positive, but I couldn't  help but think the worst.

"I've brought you clean pyjamas.Change into them and then we'll go to  the hospital".

"Okay".

We sat in silence the whole way to  the hospital. I didn't know what to say  to him. As he pulled into the car park my  heart started racing. I was terrified.Terrified of what they were going to tell  me.

I had no idea what was happening to  me. I don't know why I was bleeding.  Was it normal? Could it be normal?

Unclipping my seat belt, I took a  deep breath before getting out. Jake  done all the talking when we got inside.  I wasn't sure I would have been able to  string two words together.

We didn't wait long until the doctor  came to gre et us. She took us into a side  room and was planning to give me an  ultrasound.

"Do you know roughly how manyweeks you are?". Dr White asked.

"I'm not sure". I whispered.

Again, my eyes filled with tears."And this is your first pregnancy?".

Inodded.

"Okay Leah if you can lie back for meand pull you trousers down so they are  under your stomach".

Jake took my hand in his and  brought it to his lips. He held it there  placing kisses on my knuckles.

"This will be a little cold".

She placed the ge l on my stomach  and my heart stopped. Please don't say  it, please don't say the words I'm  dreading to hear.

"Ah". She smiled as she turned thescreen around for us to see."Everything  is fine, your baby is growing fine and is  perfectly healthy. I would say you're  roughly around 10 weeks".A sob fell from my lips as relief  washed over me. Our baby was safe.

"I'm going to book you in for anotherscan in two weeks' time. In the  meantime, I want you to rest. Can you  do that?".

I nodded."What caused the  bleeding?".

"It's common to bleed during you firsttrimester but I'm glad you came in to  get checked. Bleeding during  pregnancy can sometimes mean you're  having a miscarriage or an ectopic  pregnancy".

"But my baby is, okay?". I asked.

"Yes". She smiled."But please rest asmuch as you can". She passed me a  piece of paper towel so I could wipe my  stomach."I'll see you in two week'sLeah".
