Good luck 4magpies - how are you feeling about IVF? Sounds like a really positive step
And 10lbs doesn't sound too much - you can definately do that hun
Hope everyone else is doing well? I've had a total rollercoaster the last couple of days. After seeing our little baby waving around on the scan on Monday, I had a heavy bleed last night with a couple of clots Needless to say I was a wreck! DH was great and calmed me down etc, but I was so sure I was losing my little one.
We went straight to the Early Pregnancy Clinic this morning and had a scan, and there was baby - completely oblivious and wriggling around with a lovely little heartbeat I don't think I've ever felt so relieved!!!
So they did a few more checks to find the cause of the bleed and found I have an Ectropian Cervix. This means that some of the cells that are supposed to grow on the inside of my cervix are growing on the outside, meaning it leaves a raw area that is easily irritated and prone to bleeding. I did have this when I was in my late teens, but it settled itself - now it seems pregnancy has exacerbated it.
It is apparently totally harmless and poses no risk to baby, but means I will probably be prone to bleeds. Which is a pain, but at least I know that it is nothing to worry about anyway!!
Phew!!
They also got a more accurate measurement and put me at 10+3, so my EDD is now 17th of October. Although I still have my official dating scan in a couple of weeks
