Welcome mommy2be26! Glad to have you! I don't know how much help I'll be as I'm a first timer, but we can surely share and talk through things.
Well my spotting hasn't subsided, so I went to the Drs today. All is well, no cervix issues. She wanted to do another u/s but I told her I was not willing to fork out another 130$ because I felt like there was no real issue at hand as I am not cramping or having bright blood. We talked about it and she told me the blood may be from subchoreonic bleeding or a low placenta. I was firm about not getting another u/s. (not only because of monetary reasons, but because I really don't want to subject the baby to multiple u/s because they don't know long term effects they can have on babies)
In return she said we could try to hear the fetal hb with the Doppler, and I didn't have enough time to object before she was gone to get it.
I wanted to object because my husband has been away for the past month and only got to be with me for my first u/s where we saw only a dot. The second my mom came with me, and I really wanted him to be there with me to hear the hb.
At the same time, I wanted the reassurance of hearing it today, but felt very selfish about it.
So she did the Doppler, and very easily found the hb.
I was happy/ relieved to hear it (she would have wanted me to go for an us if not.) but felt so selfish
I called dh afterwords, and bawled to him about it. He was very understanding, but how foolish am I!?
Just over emotional :-/
The good thing is, it's totally normal to be emotional right now!
I'm figuring it was just the friction, but gosh i'd like not to see anything on my underwear for once! Especially as today I hadn't spotted any brown at all.
