A little hiccup
So I have been saying for awhile that I've basically been spotting starting from week 4 to now (week 7.5). So I'm pretty used to seeing something when I go to the bathroom. Well.. this afternoon I went to the bathroom and saw my liner was filled with blood! I went to wipe and I saw that I passed a clot the size alittle smaller than a dime. And as I sat there the toilet just filled with blood. I had a feeling a miscarriage was inevitable. So I called my doctor and asked what I should do, if I should just wait it out or come in, she said she had an appointment available in the afternoon and to come in. So she asks me some questions and finds out the ultrasound lady was available to take a look. So she sticks the transvaginal ultrasound wand in me and my heart kind of sank cause I saw a sac but I didn't see anything in it. BUT once she started moving it around she found the baby and even found the heartbeat. She says the baby is measuring exactly 7 weeks 4 days and the heartbeat was strong at 153bpm!! Wow. it was amazing to know and to see the baby finally and to know the baby is still in there alive and well!!! The doctor wasn't exactly sure what the clot was, she said something about it coming from behind the placenta? Not really sure what it was exactly, but for now, the baby is okay and the bleeding has stopped for the most part. Gosh I hope the rest of the 33 weeks isn't as scary as the first 7!! I can at least breathe a sigh of relief for now until my next appointment next week. And here's a picture the ultrasound lady gave me to take home!
