First Ultrasound
Mar. 11th, 2004 04:14 pmI had some problems last night with spoting and cramping, so I called the Dr today, and they fit me in for an ultrasound and visit today, instead of next week.
Well, it's mostly good news, but not all.
We saw the baby (kind of) and it is settled into the uterus and my cervix is closed.
It measured small - at only 6w 1d +/- 2 days, rather than 7w 3d (as of LMP). We kind of expected this, though, because of my irregular cycles.
The not so good news is that the amount of the fluid around the baby is low and the heartbeat was only 109bpm. (It was nice to hear it, though)
I am on pelvic rest and he wants to see me again for an ultrasound on the 23rd, to check that I am progressing.
I am still worried, but not as scared. I hope everything works out. Looks like we are in line for a Halloween baby after all.
