At first I was thrilled and announced the pregnancy about 5 days after I had found out. I was worried that I might miscarry again but stayed positive and hopeful. I had my first scan at 5w1d. Everything measured and looked good. You could see the yolk sac which meant I didn't have a blighted ovum. I was told to come back in a week to see the heartbeat. The next scan is what I was most nervous about. I needed to see the heartbeat for reassurance. I went in the following week for my 6w1d scan. No heartbeat. There was growth since the last scan though and the rest of the pregnancy looked good. I went back in a week later to check the heartbeat. This time there was finally a heartbeat. Unfortunately, the heartbeat was slower than it should have been. It was about 70-80 bpm. The baby and sac are also measuring behind about a week. My doctor doesn't seem concerned yet since there's a heartbeat and growth since last time. He also said the dating could be off by a week. I have to go back in another week to check the baby again. 

I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful. Sometimes it's hard. I'm definitely not feeling the excitement that I felt with my first pregnancy. I'm too scared to get excited. I hope that when I go in for my scan next week, the baby will be fine!

Any and all prayers are welcome!🙏🏼💗
