Pregnant after a Loss

I'm back (finally!) :-)

So my OBs office was a total disaster today! I got there at 2:25 and didn't even get called back to PIAC until 3:30! I thought my bladder was going to explode, and I have gained too much weight already.

So anyway, the Dr comes in and examines me. She says everything looks good and she doesn't see any blood. She says after seeing the HB on u/s your chance of m/c is less than 5% so I wouldn't worry. I then told her that statistics did nothing for me after having 2 m/cs since I know the odds on that aren't really high either. So she decides that my bleeding was "frequent" so I need an u/s. She said it would help me feel better so it was worth it to her to do it.

I went to schedule the u/s and they were able to squeeze me in today! So I had to wait another 40 minutes. I was the last patient in u/s but the Tech was soooo nice. I kept thanking her over and over for sticking around for us.

She gave us pictures! Baby is measuring 3 days ahead now, not 2 like last time. HB was 178. Bean is hanging upside down so I will PIP upside down so you can see. It turns out I have a "very small" subchorionic hematoma. The Dr says since my next appt is in a few weeks that there is nothing more to do and that I will probably need another u/s in 4 or so weeks just to check in on it.

I am so relieved. And DH got to be there too so I felt much better with him by my side. Now he is grilling turkey burgers for us. After all that waiting I am starved. I made him go to the car for my stash of food before the u/s started. lol

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. I am a huge believer in the power of prayer and do believe God answered those prayers today.
