8w2d Bad news
Today I went in for my 8 week ultrasound. The dr. put the probe in place and thats when things started to go wrong. He was really silent for a few mins and kept scrolling and scrolling on the screen. I knew something was not going well when 10 mins have passed without him saying anything. Thats when he told me that my lil one has stopped growing and the heart has stopped beating. He didn't say how long ago it had happened but he did say that it did happen sometime in the past couple of days. I am beyond devestated. I don't know what has happened. I'm so scared. The dr. gave me a few options, 1, to let pass naturally which can take up to two weeks for it to happen, and its somewhat traumatizing, 2, to go for the D&C which is surgery, but lessens the trauma. or 3, take a medicine that will force my body to expel everything immediately which is traumatizing and can some complications. I am leaning towards the D&C because I don't know when the miscarraige will happen and I most likely will be alone, which scares me. My heart is breaking. Gone too soon my lil one, I'll never forget you my lil angel.

7w0d
 |
| Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place. Today I am 7 weeks pregnant. I have had a very rough week since I last posted. On Thursday the 14th I started bleeding red and somewhat heavily. I was so scared, I called the DH who was at work and told him I needed to go to the ER immediately because I was bleeding. We spent over 3hrs at the ER where the doctor was a complete douche and wouldn't do any ultrasounds and was telling me that this happens and that there was nothing they could do for me. He called my Dr. and told her what was happening and that I should go see her soon. I went home and relaxed so sure it was over. The next day I passed a blood clot the size of my pinky finger, and then I stopped bleeding completely. I haven't bled since then I'm praying that everything is ok and can't wait for my next appt. on the 28th. About Me: How far along? 7w0d Total weight gain/loss: 1-2 lbs Maternity clothes? Not yet, though my pants are starting to get a little tighter around the waist Stretch marks? a few but not from this lil' one Sleep: Yes Please!!! Sleeping is like my job now, I'm seriously logging in at least 10 hrs a day lol! Best moment this week: The bleeding and spotting has stopped! Movement: too early, I can't wait to feel the lil' one! Food cravings: Salads, and lemon lime soda and rootbeer. Gender: still too early to know Belly Button in or out? in What I miss: nothing really, I'm still in the honeymoon phase of this pregnancy where I'm happy about everything What I am looking forward to: Our 8 week ultrasound on 10/28 Milestones: 1st Ultrasound show heart beating and measuring on target!!!!! Symptoms- sore BB's Frequent urination Heartburn with some nausea Extreme Fatigue mood swings :) to :( back to :) in minutes! |

6w1d First Ultrasound Photo!!!
Today DH and I went for our first Ultrasound to see the lil' one. I was a little anxious because I started spotting last week that has continued with cramping. I was expecting to hear not good news at all. The Dr. began the ultrasound and he reassured me that everything is growing and looking on target for being 6 weeks pregnant, he also showed DH and I the lil' one's heart beating and told me to relax that everything is going to go great! DH and I were so excited!!! Here's our lil' one's first Pictures!!!!
