Details to follow later, but all is OK. The baby is measuring 8 weeks and 4 days, which is exactly what I am today, so we are thrilled. The u/s tech found a pool of blood next to the gestational sac and determined that was the reason for the bleeding yesterday. She said it’s not extremely large, but not extremely small either, and there will likely be more bleeding to come. Just having an explanation for the bleeding, and also the heads up that there may be more made me feel so much better about everything. I am so thankful and relieved. This is really happening and I could not be happier.

Yea!!! I was thinking the right thoughts. Glad to know that the bleeding is perfectly harmless and the little bean is growing right on track!!! Take a deep breath and enjoy being pregnant. :)

So relieved for you! I know that you won’t be able to relax until after you pass the first trimester mark – I know that I wasn’t but hang in there – do what you can to enjoy it – consider getting a doppler in a few weeks to monitor the heartbeat. I cant tell you how wonderful having one of those on hand to check whenever I needed some reassurance that things were ok was.

Thank God! The baby is just fine. Will the blood resolve on its own then? I’m so glad everything is progessing as it should. Breathe easy.

Thank God!!! Sooo glad to hear that everything is on the right track! And you are right, knowing the reason for the bleeding makes it a little less scarier. Take care.

I’m glad to hear your ultrasound went well and the little bean is right on track. I’m glad being given a reason for the bleed helped. Do they know what is causing it? When is your next ultrasound?
Hang in there ((((((hugs))))))
