I'm here! Ultrasound update...**update with PIP**

Well. I don't know how to feel about it. On one hand, I'm pregnant and saw a heartbeat. On the other hand, I'm now two weeks off on dates.

Last visit was 10 days ago and it measured me at 5w4d (I was dated at 6w4d). Today I measured 6w0d (Dated at 8w1d).

How is it ok that the baby has only grown 3 days in a 10 day span?!

No one will answer me or tell me anything other than I still have the hemorrhage that's continuing to bleed.

    Oh, huge hugs to you!  I can see why you are confused.  What is the next plan of action?  Is there anything they can do to stop/slow the hemmorage?

    One of my local nesties had a baby about 5 months after my DD was born.  She had the bleeding and cramping and was measuring way behind at first.  Well, her LO caught up and he is now 2 :)

    Nope, they aren't doing anything until my first appointment. I'm very frustrated...

    Thanks for the update! Hopefully once the hemmorage issue gets taken care of then baby will catch up. What's the next step for you?

    I haven't even been in to see my MW. My real first appointment is 12/29. I might be able to beg and plead to get in sooner.

    Atleast you were able to see the baby. I had lots of bleeding and cramping (at 7 weeks) with my DD they gave her a 50/50 chance of surviving, for some reason I had a blood clot in my uterus. She survived and will be 2 next week! GL to you hon.

    I know nothing is going to make you feel better, and I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but we measured 2 weeks behind at my last appointment.  My Dr. told me that not every baby grows at the same rate.  Sometimes some stages take longer than others and some take a shorter period. 

    I hope everything is ok and I'll be thinking about you.

    Thanks! I feel so in the dark since we saw DS for the first time at 11 weeks and he was almost always on track or ahead.

    It really depends on the tech. If the measure a little on the inside the baby can appear to be smaller. At this point I would just push for your MW to see you sooner so you can hopefully see the heartbeat!

    I can't imagine how you feel, but I hope everything works out for you. I'm praying for you and your LO.

    I think it's a great sign to see the heartbeat.  I would also be really concerned about the slow growth, but it seems that they might speed things up if they were seriously concerned. 

    Hope you get some more information soon.  T+P!

    What was the heartrate? If it is in the normal range I wouldn't worry. With my first pregnancy our baby was continually measuring behind and had a slow heartrate (90bpm) and eventually stopped growing. But as long as they aren't concerned about the heartrate I'm sure you are fine.

    Doh, I just realized you DID see a heartbeat already. That is GREAT. Even more reason to not worry so much about the measurement!
