Today was a scary day. No worries because everything is fine, but it was very frightening for the time being. Around 8:30-9:00 I went to the bathroom and there was some brown spotting when I wiped. Looking exactly as it looked last time I had my loss. Naturally I FREAKED out because I thought it was going to be the same horrible situation. I called my Dr and they got me in for an ultrasound right away. I went in at 10:00. They did the ultrasound and everything was perfect. As soon as I saw that beautiful heartbeat I almost lost it. They measured everything and our peanut is growing right on track 8 weeks 5 days. The heartrate was measured at 163 BPM. Which they said is a good strong heartbeat. I was lucky enough to get an ultrasound picture for this one. And if you look really close you can see the little nubs for hands and feet. It's amazing how much it has grown in just two weeks. At my last appointment it was much smaller.
So the good thing that came out of all the stress was that I got a picture of the baby this time! And I'm feeling a lot better. Unfortunately they couldn't explain the spotting except to say that because it's brown, it is old blood, not a new bleed. There was nothing going on in there that would have caused the bleeding, so they think it was implantation bleeding working it's way out, and that because right now is when I would have gotten my period if I wasn't pregnant they think that's why its flushing out now. So anyways, I'm feeling better and my next appointment is on Jan 5th!
