A little unexpected scare:

We had our second doctor's appointment yesterday. We were just expecting a visit with the doctor and being able to listen to our baby's heartbeat. Well, things didn't go quite as planned. For the past weeks I have had some problems with bleeding and had gone in last week to hear the heartbeat just to make sure the baby was okay. Luckily they found the heartbeat and everything was fine! Well today the doctor told me that he just wanted to do an ultrasound and make sure everything was okay and kind of get an idea of how much bleeding there is. Well obviously they found our little one as healthy as can be...a little bigger than normal. (Maybe I have an earlier due date!) However if you look at the picture you will see a little blob of something in the bottom right corner. Well that is known as a subchorionic hemmorrhage. This is fairly common in pregnant women. About one in four women will bleed during pregnancy. However, when they measured the length of my hemmorrhage there was a little more bleeding than normal. So because of this I have to go on pelvic bed rest for at least the next 2 weeks. After which, I will get another ultrasound to see if the hemmorrhage has gone down. Luckily pelvic bed rest won't require me to be flat on my back. I don't think I could handle that. But I am not allowed to participate in any form of exercise and pretty much just have to take it really easy. Although I love our baby so much I would do anything to make sure everything is okay. This has been a little bit of a scare for us especially because this is our first one and we have no idea what to expect. But we feel like everything is going to be fine. We will keep you updated on everything!
