It has already been a roller coaster, I had a chorionic hemorrhage early on, that we fully believed was a miscarriage, but instead of declining my hormones kept rising! Ultrasound found the hemorrahage and a egg but no heart and no definite fetal pull, (hosptial talk for baby). So, we had to wait another week to see if my hormones evened out and went down or kept rising. They doubled. Then off to the ultrasound to see if the bleed was resolving, and if they could see a heart and fetal pull.
I had fully believed I had a miscarriage, had accepted the fact, and then I found out all of this. I never let myself fully believe that there was actually a baby after that. Too hard to loose it again I thought. When the Ultrasound tech said oh there's the heart and it's beating strong, the tears started rolling down my cheek's and I was gratful it was dark in there. We are not out of the woods yet. The bleed was significant, and I have to have ultrasounds often to see if the baby is developing normally, with the next in 2 weeks enless I notice bleeding. With a bleed the chances of miscarriage are high, but we saw the heart, and we know our peanut is there. Wish us luck. Oh yeah, they moved my due date back from 5/1/10 to 5/14/10 that was a blow, but I guess they come when their ready anyway.
Here is a pic of my last baby, who was also a bleed at 18 weeks. He held on, and made it 2 days after his due date.
beautiful pic of me huh, the joys of labor really bring out beauty in me. ha ha
