So today was a difficult day. I had my 12 week appt and as always I was a little bit anxious to see how the baby was doing! During the exam I had quite a lot of bleeding and so they stopped and wanted to check the baby's heart rate. She got out the doppler and started searching, which seemed to take forever. I just held my breath the whole time. She then said if we couldn't find anything then she'd get out the sonogram machine. I then started to get VERY worried...but then she found our precious baby's heart beat!! It was very loud and strong. I started crying because I was SO relieved and so unbelievably thankful! So overall, it was a successful visit, but very worrisome initially. She said to just go home and take it easy and call if the bleeding did not stop by tomorrow. I guess it's not that abnormal to have some bleeding, mine was just more severe because of the progesterone and baby aspirin I had to take.
I was so thankful to come home to my wonderful husband, who was so sweet and supportive! He's going to be such a good Dad!
Please say lots of prayers that this baby continues to stay strong! I will have a high risk ultrasound approx 18-20 weeks, so I guess we'll all have to wait until then to see this little one!
Here are some pictures of the 12 WEEK belly bump!
