That is exactly right darling & keep that in mind. A heartbeating away healthily (that rate is healthy) is a fabulous sign that does put you in a great position. Do you remember Meredith? She had a very very similar experience to yours with pain also & now she has her baby daughter in her arms.
Just keep thinking only wonderful things - rest up, drink lots of water & eat healthfully. We are all here cheering for you. :hug:
I am not sure, does she have a birth story? But journeys so similar are so supportive and encouraging :hug::
I will find her story for you my love. She bled so much and so often that it really did look bleak for a time. She sadly said Goodbye to her daughters twin during the first trimester which was so sad and difficult. However, her little girl hung on tight and is now at home. She was born early but healthy.
I have to attend to a belligerent Immy & I will be back with some links to Meredith. :hug:
Okay my love HERE is a thread she began about her pregnancy difficulties...
BIRTH STORY FOR HOLLY!
I hope this gives you something positive to hold on to while you wait for Thursday's u/s... :hug:
I also wanted to remind you that you grow strong babies! Just look at Miss N and all that you went through with her. I remember your bleeding episode with her too.....
More hugs! :hug:
Beema, Sorry to hear what you are going through. Just wanted to offer you some more hugs and positive thoughts.
I had a bleed at 5 weeks with this pg'cy, had an US and they found a large blood clot which they said i would either bleed out or it would reabsorb into the body. Had another scan 10 days later and it was luckily it was gone and bubs heart had started beating ;)
If it is a Subchorionic Haemorage or Haematoma, you have a higher chance of going full term than losing the baby. Good odds, especially as you have seen the baby's heart beating and the location of the clot too. Sounds promising.
Thinking of you
hey sweet just spotted this... :hug: ill be praying for you sweet xoxoxoxo
Thankyou so much for those links, I have read them all through, one of the amazing things about BB, there is nearly always someone else who has travelled a similar path, and the positive stories are so reassuring :hug::
Thanks hun, yes those two weeks were not fun either, but we got through them, and got a strong little fighter, this one will be a toughie as well :hug::
Thankyou so much for sharing your positive story :comfort: I hope that it is something like that or what ever it is it slowing drains out as it is at the moment :hug::
ETA: Thanks Squidi xx
Oh Beema, i have only just seen this. I am thinking of you and praying for you and your little baby :hug:
Thinking of you :hug:
My thoughts are with you, I hope the problem settles down and the rest of your PG is boring.
Do you find out your current platelet count?, it can make bleeding appear much worse if it is low. Also consider taking an iron supplement or at least ask your Dr about it to help regenerate those lost red blood cells.
I just wanted to come in and wish you lots of love and support for tomorrow. I am not going to be around during the day so just know you're being thought of & prayed for by me. I will light my candle before leaving the house - it will burn brightly all day... :hug:
Oh Beema :comfort: here's hoping everything goes positive for you
I can't imagine what you're going through, here's hoping bub decides to stay put for a long and healthy pregnancy :pray:
thinking of you today Vic
:crossfingers: :pray: :hug:
You're in my thoughts, Beema. Praying that you have very good news today :hug:
Hope it all goes well today :hug:
Thinking of you! And hope the wait is not too long..
I will be thinking of you today hun and I hope the scan goes well :hug:
I will be thinking of you today Beema. Stay strong and think positive thoughts. I'm sending all my positive vibes your way.
Thinking of you hun, sending you lots of positive vibes :hug:
Thinking of you today, hope all goes well... stay positive! :hug:
Thinking of you, I hope everything goes well...big :hug:
Thankyou all so much for your gorgeous positive message of support this morning, you don't know how much that has helped me refocus :hug:
This is just a quick post this morning, I had another bleed overnight of bright red blood, and it came with cramping, but it has settled to brown this morning and the cramping is now more of an ache, which is fading. I have been waiting for another bleed, and I know there is still a lot to be expelled.
I got my Platelets results from last Friday and there were good at 173, so within the 150-400 range of "normal", even though at first she told me they were 133, but alas that was the Haemogloblin levels.
The only way I got some sleep was talking to "flicker" and contantly repeating, giving you all my strength, courage and power, be strong little one, I didn't know what else I could do, I had to focus on that little flickering HB I saw Tuesday. I also thought of MeridithD (thankyou so much for the link Inanna :hug:) just knowing what she went through really gave me a way to focus on the positives.
I have dropped DD off at daycare and just trying to eat some breakfast, then heading off to the WCH for another BT and then the scan at 10am.
I am tired and feel like I could cry at the drop of the hat, whereas yesterday I was more composed. Knowing that if we get through todays scan I have another wait for the BT results tomorrow and then Monday's scan with my OB.
I wish there was an esier way, and what pains me is to know how many fellow BB'ers have travelled similar journeys, and I never truely understood what it is like, until I have been on that journey myself.
Thankyou all again, and I hope to be sharing some beautiful news later on today xxoo
thinking of you today sweet xoxo
Thinking of you today too :hug:.

Hi Beema
Haven't posted yet but have been following your story - just wanted to add my message, I'm thinking of you, wonder how it is all going?
Let us know, when you can.
:hug:
Thankyou all :hug:
He did the external scan first and bub is still there, measuring on dates and HB has increased to 135BPM :dance: so getting stronger!
The other sack has now ruptured, and extends from the top of the left horn, down to the cervix and is measuring 6.1x3x4.3cm :o, but the rupture explains the cramping and bleed I had last night as the sac was intact on Tuesday. Hopefully this also means that they aren't connected anymore and the blood and clotting can flow out easier, without pulling on the good sac.
They then did the Trans V exam, to measure the cervix length, and it came back at 2.7cm, which is great, that extra 0.5cm makes a huge difference as it brings it into the "normal" zone, rather than being too short. So will discuss with my OB on Monday, she will continue monitoring it, and may recommend putting the stitch in anyway to assist in prolonging the pregnancy.
The Dr who came in today, wasn't the nicest, she said flat out I won't make it to term :o - gee thanks!!! I am glad she isn't my Dr for this pregnancy as I don't appreciate people who don't have a positive attitude. She also said that 33 weeks was excellent, in the scale of the prem world yes 33 weeks is a good gestation but in no means is it guarenteed safety, there are so many issues which can cause complications at that age, we were lucky and DD had a reasonably smooth journey, but the issues have come up since :o well sorry hun but I am trying to have a full term baby that I get to take home with me, after a couple of days, not weeks later :shakehead:
So we have made it a few more days, and I am already counting down to my OB appointment on Monday :redface:, but I hold a greater hope with the growth of bub and the strengthening of the HB :pray:
That's great news for you and the belly babe - not so great on the Dr though! I still find it extraordinary that Dr's that are completely unrelated to your overall care feel the need to say that sort of crap to you.
Great news on the bub hun. *sticky vibes* Go away, nasty doctor! Grrrr...
Beema,
I am glad you have had some positive results there! And yay for your usual dr! I believe that babies in themselves are absolute miracles and we can never underestimate the positive things that can happen! Stay strong I believe you can do it, flip I even would go as far to say I believe you could go past you edd! So yay for your usualy dr!!
Well that is good news.
I totally agree on the whole positive thinking though. Pft to that Dr.
Good news V!!! Bah to that silly dr.. U guys will do great :)
That is brilliant news! I am thinking of you!!!
Woohoo, some good news! :clap: Even if it was from a dodgy Dr! :rolleyes:
Have a great weekend, if you can. I'd be counting down to Monday too :hug:
thats great news!!!! im so glad you got some good news and explanations for everything, sounds like you are in good hands.....apart from that stupid doctor! wont she look silly when you have your baby at 41 weeks! ;) hugs. x
