Hi babyL
Hope your bleeding has settled down.
Sal had bleeding at 5 weeks, 6 weeks and 14 weeks and in each case was fine, but our fertility doctor did a scan both times for the early bleeds just to reassure us. It was such a relief to see that little flickering heartbeat!
I know they can't do anything either way, but I just wish your doctor could be more understanding of the fact that it is REALLY scary for you!! We basically had to tell our Obstetrician to send us for a scan at the 14 week bleed, he just didn't seem to understand that all we wanted was some reassurance that everything was fine. I wonder if it's different seeing a guy doctor vs a girl doctor ( fertility specialist is a girl )to understand and empathise with the fear of seeing blood.
Squishy was fine, looks like the placenta is trying to form over the cervix which will cause that sort of bleeding and shouldn't be a problem until later in the pregnancy. If the placenta stays there, Sal might have to C section. It means that if there is any more bleeding though, we won't have to PANIC like we did before because we have a reason for it.
I say go back to your doctor or go to the emergency and ask for an ultrasound for your piece of mind. It's better for bubs and your other kids to have you reassured and feeling better about it than worrying for the next few weeks.....
I'm a bit angry at your OB for not understanding your worry and sending you for a scan immediately....grrr...
