If you are uber observant, then perhaps you noticed that my pregnancy ticker has been adjusted. (Just so you know, I don't really expect any of you to have noticed that, but it has been adjusted so I thought I'd share why.) I went in for my U/S this morning and noticed that they have my LMP (last menstrual period) as 3/3/11. I thought it was 2/28/11 since my babies were conceived on 3/14/11. Silly me just assumed that the kiddos were created on the "Day 14" of my cycle and apparently, they were fertilized on "Day 11". No worries, I'm just not 7 weeks pregnant today, I am 6 weeks, 4 days. Due date is 12/8/11. (That seems really far away, doesn't it?)
Baby is measuring one day behind and I was told not to worry about that discrepancy. One day does not matter, but three or four days would, so I am choosing not to worry about this. Heart rate was 103 and I was told that for a 6 week, 4 day old fetus, that is perfectly within normal range. At about 8 weeks, the heart rate will jump up to the 120-160 range. I am also okay with this. Baby is measuring .60 cm. Last Tuesday, baby was .20 cm and when converted to mm, baby grew from 2 mm to 6 mm which is also good. Dr. Awesome RE also found what he believes to be the cause of the bleeding - a hematoma near the baby that is very small (hopefully all bled out!). I am really pleased to have found a cause. All this unexplained bleeding was not sitting right with me. There has to be a reason, right?!
I am to come back in one week for another U/S. I am hoping that I can be released to an OB at that point. I just need one week of no drama!! RE recommended continued limited activity including lots of rest, no sex, no hot baths, no hot tubs or saunas, etc.
All in all, a great report! :)

Glad baby is okay! I had a hemorrhage in my uterus at 6 weeks with B, with a lot of bleeding. It's so terrifying. I continued to have random bleeding throughout my pregnancy, but it wasn't a concern (to the drs!) and look how cute he is now :) Hopefully you'll be done bleeding!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat update!!! Glad they found a probable source for the bleeding so you can relax a little about that.
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so glad things are going well!
ReplyDeleteYay for finding a source!! I really hope it has bled out and you will have a nice, stress-free week! <3
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear that things are looking good - love that you're at the stage you can get measurements... must be feeling more real now? Rest up and take care of yourself and the little, bitty one.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see this update! Keep hanging on, lil one!
ReplyDeleteI bled from two different small hematomas at 6 weeks and 15 weeks and I'm now 36+ weeks pregnant. Take it easy and it should resolve on its own. Congrats mamma!
