"It's not that simple..."
"It isn't?"
I shook my head and was about to answer when the door opened and Leanne returned.
"Okay, if you'd both like to follow me."
"Do I need a full bladder for the scan?" I asked her, feeling my waistline tighten as if my bladder was being squeezed.
"Best to just wait until after, if I need you to empty during the scan I'll tell you."

I hated the ultrasound rooms,they were dark and I always felt like I was walking into my doom.
"Right, lay back Hunny."
I did as Leanne said and lifted my clothing so my stomach was bare.
"Maybe a bit cold," she said before using the gel and probe on my stomach.
"I'll just find the baby," she said applying pressure.
I tried to relax as much as possible, and Lilly offered me a small smile before returning her attention back to the nurse. We couldn't see the screen, and I knew why. Leanne, up until that moment didn't want me to see my baby in case she had some bad news to give me. When she turned the screen to face me I let go of a breath I'd been holding onto.
"There's the baby," she smiled, "wriggling about."
Lilly sat forward and gushed over the screen, reaching for my hand and giving it a little squeeze.
"You're not crying are you?" I asked her.
It made Leanne chuckle as she tapped her fingers on the keypad and moved the probe some more.
"God, I'm so relieved," I said out loud, allowing my head to fall back.
"So, what's causing her to faint?" Lilly asked.
"We'll talk about that, first, go empty that bladder."
"Thank you." I smiled and headed off into the room connected to the ultrasound room whilst cleaning the gel from my stomach.
Once I was clean, I placed the tissue in the bin and took a seat to relieve myself when I glanced down and my heart stopped. I grabbed the fabric on my knickers and held them higher into the light before getting a ton of toilet paper and rubbing myself clean. Then I brought the toilet paper into eyesight to see the streak of blood. I instantly felt faint and held my hand to my chest before getting up quickly.
"I'm bleeding!" I said the second I left the toilet.
"What?" Lilly stood up and stared at Leanne.
"What does that mean?" she asked, panic clear in her voice.
"Calm down," Leanne said, looking at both of us.
"This can be perfectly normal. I need to do an internal and talk with you some more. We'll do this in another room."
Jesus, how many frickin' rooms where we going to see today?
Nevertheless, I nodded and followed after her.
"Here, honey," she handed me a sanitary towel and drew the curtain around me so that I could apply it to the insides of my knickers. I didn't realise until then that I was shaking and I felt so sick that I felt as if I was about to throw up at any second.
