Our Little Scare #2

When I hit 9 weeks we had another minor pregnancy scare. I began bleeding & cramping pretty bad again. Back to the Dr's we went to confirm that the pregnancy was still viable and to try again to determine the source of bleeding. Another exam was preformed and ultrasound scheduled.

This is what Logan and I saw

See how much our little one has grown?!
The heartbeat was 185 this time!! 

I love that this Ultrasound Tech always gives us 3d photos.

Again we saw a healthy baby. Yeah! Daddy unfortunately missed out on seeing our little one waving and moving around, but Logan loved watching his little sibling up on the monitors.

This time the Dr. was able to pinpoint the source of bleeding. I have what is called a subchorionic hematoma which is a gathering of blood between the membranes of the placenta and the uterus (blood clot). It is quite common, but can cause a greater risk for the placenta to tear away from the uterus and a chance of miscarriage if the blood clot breaks away. The Dr. assured me that most pregnancies progress with no further complications and the clot would either bleed out or be absorbed into the body by 20 weeks. I was put on pelvic rest till my next appt (a month away) and was told to limit my activity. No lifting, working out, vacuuming, etc.

Please note, we are very thankful to finally have answers and feet very confident that the pregnancy will progress with no further complications. So please, no worries!
