I thought it was @ the LMcE, but I was at Centrals Lucky I was early so I got to the right place a few minutes late.
A mixture of news, and got a long way to go....
Bub was measuring about 1 week behind, but development is inline with 10 weeks, so it may just be a small bub, but we went through all my scans and dates and have revised my due date, which "helps" and are hoping that it was a late O (even with 6 months of 25/26 day cycles).... with the reduction in growth.... not sure if it is a good thing or not, but going with it for now.
Best measurement we got was 9 weeks. Breathe......
The placenta is good, attached to the ouside of the uterus (not the septum) and is nice a high, good size, the cord flow looked good and HR nice and strong, also nice little arms and legs wiggling away just small. So some good positives.
There is still quite a lot of bleeding to come While I have lost a good amount there is still a lot to go. My OB was quite concerned during the scan, you know when you can tell, but it is just a waiting game, still a long way from getting out of the woods yet.
I am still booked in to see her Tuesday, but if we get through the next 4 days without a bleed then I can cancel the appointment until the next bleed
If I have any bleeding with an obtrusive smell or cramping call her straight away on the Mobile.
We are hoping that the bleeding resolves sooner rather than too late in the pregnancy as if we go down the path of a Cervical Suture the risk of doing it while there is still retained blood and clots is too dangerous, or would risk removal and replacement of the suture. So we wouldn't be able to suture until the bleeding has finished.
So there are positives there, but still a long road to travel before I can relax...
I am sorry guys I think i will be leaning our your shoulders for a while yet this is really challenging me emotionally mentally and physically, but why will are still going forward albeit slowly, each day gets us one day closer.
Thankyou for continuing to support me, I am sure you will be getting tired of me, but I just have to write it all down, so I can get through each challenge that lies before me and delivering a precious little bubba.
im glad you feel that you can lean on BB to help you through these times, glad to hear you had some positive news and hugs for the not so great news!! big hugs to you!!!!
Beema. You can continue to lean on BB's virtual shoulders for as long as you like. I'm glad there was some good news for you in amongst the not so good. Keep fighting Flicker!!!
have been thinking of you today and am glad that the scan is over and there are positives to help you through the coming days. and as your ticker says: flicker is a fighter!
I am sorry things aren't easier for you hun, but like you said there are some positives there. And who knows maybe this was a late ovulation? Here for you and will be waiting to hear the all clear in the near future
