Hi girls, just popping to say hi. Sorry I've not been around much. We've had a bad week. Gussy had an operation last week and then got a post operative infection in one of his incisions. Has had a LOT of pain, swelling, masses of puss and fevers (even with Painstop on board) of 39.9degrees. Poor little tike. We've been in and out of hospital all week. Blahhhh.
I had an u/s today as I've continued to bleed really heavily. It seems I've miscarried. Going by my LMP, I should be about 81/2 weeks today but the embryo is only measuring about 6wks4days. Unless I have my dates waaaay out it seems that things stopped progressing at about the 6wk mark. The fetal medicine specialist at the u/s place said to return for another u/s in a week just to be absolutely sure. Apparently a fetal pole will always be detected by 7wks - so going by today's measurement, next Thursday the pregnancy should be 7wks4days and therefore, if viable, should have a heart beat.
It's kind of weird to think I've miscarried. Although I've been bleeding lots, I don't "feel" like I've miscarried. I think I expected to feel some sort of pain or definite end to the pregnancy. As a result, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel. It's kind of confusing as I'm in that kind of limbo place where I'm neither definitely pregnant or definitely not. I guess an early miscarriage is better than a late one. If this baby is not meant to be, then I guess it's a case of the sooner the miscarriage is confirmed the better.
Anyhoo on that gloomy note, I better rush off to clean my child and get dinner ready etc.
