Yesterday I decided to call the doctor because I have been experiencing some light spotting and cramping. They got me in for an ultrasound at 10:30 am and then I met with a doctor in the office. The ultrasound went great! The tech talked to me the whole time about the future with the new baby so I figured she saw something good on the screen. Then she turned the screen so I could see it and showed me the gestational sac, the yolk sac, and the baby. Boy was it tiny - looked like a grain of rice! She then showed me the heartbeat - the most beautiful thing in the world! She gave me 2 ultrasound pictures to take home and put on my fridge. She said everything looked good and sent me on my way. I then went in to meet with the doctor. She is not my regular doctor but she was very nice. She said that everything looked great except that I have what is called a subchroinic (sp?) hemorrhage and that is what is causing the bleeding. I asked her to write it down for me and she did but told me not to google it because it will make it sound really bad. She said it is very small - 1.2 cm by 0.69 cm and that my risk for miscarriage is very small. It still worries me though. She said to just take it easy and no lifting heavy things, no exercise, pelvic rest, etc. until I see my regular doctor in 2 weeks. I tried to go back to work and my boss sent me home, telling me to go home and rest and take the week off - I just love her! So here I sit, on the computer typing this. I know I should be enjoying my time resting but it is going to drive me insane. There is so much I could be doing around the house but then I remember the reason why I am doing this - for my little peanut! I pray a lot that God will take care of us and see us through this and it really has given me comfort. It is amazing the amount of worrying I do and then finally decide that I need to give it up to God and then the worry is taken away. Don't get me wrong, I still think about it but I don't worry about it constantly. God is amazing and I have full faith that he will watch over me. I go again 2 weeks from today for my 8 week appointment and get to see my little peanut on another ultrasound :)
