SO NERVOUS!

Gail

Okay ladies! A few weeks ago (9.14.15) My hubby and I found out we are expecting!

A week or so after, I began having some spotting, with no cramps, and only in the morning! We went to the ER and while they did do an ultrasound all I could get from the DR is that I was "barely pregnant" and while there was a baby it was just tiny so far, and my hcg levels were 1226 (thought I was 5 wks 6 days)

Then I was told it could be the beginning of the end for my baby. I went home confident that we saw the little speck, its okay.

The spotting continued over the days and my anxiety just grew worse and worse, so I went back. In the mornings, the spotting would be bright red, pink, then brown, and then gone all day until the next morning! CRAZY!

The second time I went in,on a saturday, 4 days after the first time, no ultrasound or testing was done, they just took my blood and told me that in 4 days my hcg levels went from 1226 to 1810- they said they went up but did not double- so that was pretty much it for me. I was told to go home and let nature take its course.

I was told to miscarry my baby and not be sad.

Monday morning came and I called my OB to get in an appointment asap.

I went in on Thursday (the wait felt forever) and we heard the heartbeat of our little peanut. My husband and I cried and grasped each others hands so hard. Happiest moment. The baby measured at 5 weeks 6 days. I thought I was 7 weeks 1 day (based off of my LMP)

Dr said the baby was alive and well but she was worried slightly because the heart beat was 95 BPM. A little low. But she said it could have been because it just started beating or because of the time of day- I'm usually not up at 9 AM lol. She scheduled me again for tomorrow (7 weeks based off of the last ultrasound) to make sure the heart rate has picked up and that the baby is growing properly. She said it could go "either way."

I am absolutely mortified. I haven't had any spotting in about 10 days- no cramps, nothing unusual. But I'm still so scared. I just want my baby to be growing properly with a strong healthy heart beat... Can I get some prayers, ladies?
