I made it into the Hospital to get a work up. My doctor's office was too full, and they had an order sent to medical imaging with their affiliated hospital. The scan went well. WE SAW THE HEARTBEAT! Of course, it was just a little thing, so hard to tell, but she could see that it was 101 or 109 bpm (or something like that... it went so fast) and it should be between 90 (minimum) and 110. So that was perfect! The baby AND sac also measured 6 weeks 1 day (I'm 6w2d), so that is right in line. That means things are growing properly. There also appears to only be one... whew haha
There was a bleed, and it seemed big to me, but the tech didn't seem worried and she said it was well within the ratio. Even though we are still waiting for the answer from the nurse, I have a feeling it is all going to be ok. On our way out, the tech congratulated us on the baby with a big smile, and I'm taking that to mean it wasn't a dire situation.
After seeing the heartbeat, I feel much better. I know that the baby is progressing and growing. I will be just taking it easy. Staying hydrated. Listening to my body.
Plus! Our nurse (when I was calling to ask about the bleeding this morning) told me that if it was looking "not good" the tech would keep me there at the hospital while she called the nurse. If I was sent home, it was a good sign. I'm writing this from home, so I'm going to try and stay positive...
Currently, still mild cramping, but the spotting is less and less, even with that vaginal goo oozing out of me (haha gross but true). Haven't seen tissue for a long time. Now that I know there is a bleed in there though, I am going to have to try and expect to see spotting here and there until I hear otherwise.
Thank you for the support ladies! It meant the world to me!!!
I sincerely want to thank you all for pushing me to call my doctor. Without you, I probably wouldn't have, and I would have still be sitting here in self-pity freaking out. Now I have my baby's heartbeat to believe in and pray for, and I know that I might see more spotting, but I at least have a factual statement of our baby's health. Thank you for pushing me!!!
