As if I didn't work hard enough or wait long enough. I have been having terrible bouts of hyperemesis (excessive vomitting) which is a good sign because that means hormones are raging! However after a couple days of this, I got so dehydrated that when I went to vomit there was nothing left and the force of it ended up with the blood vessels in my eyes and around my face rupturing. I look fantastic!!
I started spotting yesterday morning, ever so slighly but my OB sent me to the ER for IV hydration and to get an ultrasound.
After 16 hours there, IVs, Blood work, U/s and MRI they have determined that I have a hemorrhage in the placenta. This would be the reason for the spotting. Its a small hemorrhage and they are optimistic that it will clear on its own but until then I am ordered to bedrest, pelvic rest (poor Tim) and weekly ultrasounds to monitor the baby and the hemorrhage.
It sucks but Its all worth it in the end and I would do anything to have this baby even if that means laying flat on my back for 9 months. I am okay with that if I need to. The good part is that I get to see the baby every friday!! That alone even with the hemorrhage will give me peace of mind just seeing that the baby is thriving!
As far as the ultrasound goes the baby is measuring about 6 days behind what it should be however the attribute that to Tech Error or the fact that I have a retroverted uterus which can sometimes make it hard to see the baby correctly this early. However, the heartbeat was stellar at a whopping 176 bpm! I didnt get to see the baby on u/s last night because if there is a threat of a miscarriage they wont let you look but my husband got to watch and he said he could see the little arms, legs and the heart beating! So thats good news

I hope you aren't on bed rest too long and feeling better soon!
Hi! I just read through your blog. I'm 7.5 weeks pregnant. Congrats to you and your hubbs. So amazing that you got your BFP on the one month you were sure that you wouldn't! I bet you'll have a girl based on your timing and the Shettles method and your extreme m/s! What are you hoping for? And do you have any feelings on whether you're carrying boy or girl? Hope you're off bed rest soon!
I just have to say your story is insprational and I hope everything goes well. Best of luck with the bedrest!
Thanks Ladies!!
Lacy, I think we are having a boy, I mean that is what my instinct is telling me. Dh and I would love a little girl since this will be our only child but if its a boy like I think, then I will be just as happy.
I did see that based on Shettles it should be a girl but I am not holding out too much hope on that one. How are you feeling? I tried to leave you a message but it doesnt show you have a blog.
