Jen I’m so glad to hear your news. I remember they saw some blood in your last scan too. Do you know where it is? I’m assuming it is in your uterus. Were they able to tell you if it’s old blood or new blood? New blood is darker on a scan. Old blood looks grainy and grey. Did they measure the size of the blood clot? I’m asking all these questions because this is what happened to me. I had a small clot of old blood near my cervix. I had some pink spotting at 5.5 weeks pregnant. Then around 8 weeks I had a small bleed of dark red blood. That’s when they detected the clot. They said it was probably from implantation. For 2 weeks after that I had brown spotting. They told me I should expect to see that because the clot was dissolving and coming out. In the last 2 scans they haven’t been able to see the clot and I haven’t had any spotting at all. The smaller the clot, the better. The older the blood, the better. They should be measuring it to make sure it’s not getting bigger. Next time you get a scan, ask them to specifically look for it and measure it. Try not to be too alarmed if you see more blood. If it’s brown, you probably have nothing to worry about. I’m very glad you are doing counseling. I did it until yesterday. It helped me get through the early pregnancy anxieties.
Happy 13 weeks and second tri to Davies and Croy!
Happy 10 weeks to Andrea!!! Oh, and I hate your manager!
Pretty, I’m telling work at 14 weeks, but that’s just because I want to. I’ve never heard of a policy where you have to tell them by a certain point. There are a lot of privacy laws in the US surrounding health issues, so I think it would be illegal for them to force you to tell them you were pregnant. Obviously people would figure it out, but I think legally I wouldn’t have to say anything if I didn’t want to.
Puppy good news that you are eating a little bit! It must feel like such a relief for the moment to not feel sick. Yay!
