2nd Ultrasound...Good News

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday!

I had my second ultrasound yesterday and all is well, the baby is measuring 8 wk 5 days which is exactly where he/she should be, heart rate of 178 which is normal.

The subchorionic bleed seen last time is shrinking (pretty much gone, really), not growing, which is a huge relief. I didn't want to talk about this before, but all the info on Dr. Google for pregnant women is very reassuring ("It's usually no problem! Don't worry!"), but when you go into the actual medical literature (which I know how to do...I do advertising but it's mostly in the medical field, so I need to access that sort of stuff for my job)...anyway, when you go into the medical literature where they talk to doctors who have no emotional investment in the situation, the information is WAY more grim, with straight-up statistics showing significantlytly higher miscarriage rates and stillbirths (which was what was getting me really freaked out) associated with the condition. But for me, the bleed is getting better, not worse, so not something I need to worry about. I actually did a pretty good job not worrying between ultrasounds...somehow after all I've been through trying to have babies I just can't get worked up about things anymore unless they are actual problems, vs what I was told two weeks ago at my first ultrasound, which was if the bleed was growing there could be a problem, if it's shrinking everything will be good.

Anyway, so relieved everything looks so good. Go Freezy!

Oh and I'm starting to get weaned off the fertility meds (yay!). Next OB appointment in two weeks.

XOXO
