I am currently 8 weeks pregnant. I have not stopped spotting since week 5. I decided to call the OBGYN week 6 because I started spotting red so naturally I was freaking out. The Dr couldn't find anything out of the norm on the vaginal ultrasound. She told me to come back a week later to see if the baby was growing.

Week 7 comes and the baby looks great! The heart beat is at 133bpm. I literally cried when I heard the heart beat. It was the sweetest sound I could have ever imagined.

I feel some relief knowing why I am bleeding but the relief is only minor. I am still nervous about the potential issues this hematoma could cause.

I have to keep my faith and know that it is out of my hands. My little peanut is safe and sound in my uterus and I love him or her with all of my heart.

To all the women going through pregnancy, trying to get pregnant, or going through loss, you are not alone. The anxiety and fear you feel for your little one is justified. You are all doing your best!!!! I pray you all have safe, healthy, and happy pregnancies.
