Some much needed good news and reassurance 🙌🏻

K

I’m around 9 weeks pregnant. I had some spotting at 5w4d and again the following week. I had an ultrasound the first time I started spotting and we thought we saw a fetal pole and heartbeat but they had me come back the following week to do a follow up and i ironically had started spotting the morning before that appointment too but that time we saw a heartbeat of 126 and baby was measuring 6w1d! Everything was going well until about a week and a half after when I had a bigger bleed. Brown, pink, and even red. It was enough that I needed a pad but similar to a light period and lasted 3-4 days. It absolutely terrified me. I was certain I was losing this baby. My doctors office didn’t want to see me sooner than our previously scheduled appointment which wasn’t for 3 weeks (unless I started soaking a pad within an hours time). I couldn’t wait 3 weeks stressing and wondering if I lost my baby or not… so I made an appointment with a women’s clinic who were more than happy to help give me some answers and hopefully peace of mind. I went in today and they started with an abdominal ultrasound and even from that we immediately saw a heartbeat and I just about cried from feeling so relieved. Went on to an internal ultrasound and saw baby and heartbeat much clearer. We even saw him/her wiggling all around. I haven’t had any bleeding in a week and everything feels okay and symptoms are all still there and my nausea is even progressing (yay? 🤣) I feel so much more relaxed and I am so happy and grateful for the ladies at the women’s clinic who were so supportive and caring and took me in to ease my sanity when my own doctor wouldn’t.
