Hey ladies,
Sorry I haven't been in to say hi and reply over the weekend.
I had some brown spotting that started last Friday afternoon and continued onto Saturday. No doubt I was freaking out about all this. We went to the football on Saturday night (hubby's team played my team) and I worried about it all night. So Sunday morning I decided it was time to go get checked out. We went to the local hospital where they were lovely, did a blood test and checked me out and said because there was no pain (I'd only had a bit of minor cramping Wednesday / Thursday last week) things sounded ok but to go home and call back to get the blood test results in 2 hours and then come in for an ultrasound in the morning.
My blood test was good, my hCG levels were 22,197 *phew*. So I went in for the ultrasound this morning, fearing the worst but there on the screen was a little gestational sac and the little dot inside had a heartbeat! I had a massive sigh of relief. Everything looked fine, she said she could see a little blood around in there but nothing that they worry about at this stage. The heart rate was 107bpm - only just measurable because it's still so small and I am measuring at 6 weeks rather than 7, which is what I thought I was anyway based on my late ovulation. So my EDD is now 30th April 2012. I even got a little picture of Baby Bug to show hubby, who was waiting for me in the waiting room. I'll have to scan it and pop it up here later.
The Dr who spoke to me after was quite happy with all of that and said that I shouldn't worry unless the spotting gets heavier or I get cramps. I must just be one of those ladies who gets a bit of spotting during pregnancy.
So I'm completely relieved that everything is ok. Just want the spotting to go away, which I think has got lighter since seeing them yesterday anyway. Next appointment is the one I had planned with my Ob's nurse next week, hopefully all is even better by then.
Well I hope you all had a good weekend. Sorry I haven't caught up personally with you all, I promise I will over the next few days.
Off to fix up my ticker....
