I had my first OB appointment. We discussed my sorted history and I told her all about the bad digestion and the bleeding. She seemed satisfied that the bleeding might have to do with what my RE saw on the ultrasound last week - some kind of little sack or hematoma near the site of the placenta. By this morning, it had all turned to brown - though now, after my exam, it is a little red again. I assume everything is a little irritated after being cranked open.
The exam was fine, cervix is closed. No ultrasound in office, though she did come in with a little doppler thing-ama-gig. She warned me that the heartbeat is sometimes hard to hear prior to 12 weeks, and that it may take a few minutes to find it. Basically, I should stay calm. The first 30 seconds were excruciating. Then we heard it. Despite my having consumed little but chicken broth and bread for over a week, the little bugger is still kicking.
Oh, and I lost 7 pounds. She said they won't get upset till it is between 10 & 15. I look like a limp rag. I feel like one too.
Thanks for all of your well wishes. xoxoxo ((((hugs)))

I am SO GLAD!!! How wonderful that the Roomie gave you a little concert. Hopefully s-he settles down & goves you a 'normal' quiet & uneventful rest of pregnancy!
Wooo Hooo! I'm so glad everything is alright with the little one. Wowwy wow though, 7 lb loss. You poor thing, you must have been sick (not to mention all that pesky morning sickness). I would like to personally give your cervix a high five for staying closed. I'm hoping both of our cervixs (sp) don't decide to pull any funny stuff any time soon. I'd offer you a toast with a yummy appletini or margarita for us both having a good appointment, although I guess that won't be happening any time too soon. Instead, just sending you a hug and wishes for the bleeding to go away and the nausea.
What a relief! I am so glad that all is okay with the baby.
Now, as for you, I am so sorry that you've been so sick.
Thank you for all your lovely comments! I finally did get that +, but it's not the happy ending I wanted- of course, nothing in this crazy IF world ever is!
I don't think I am braver than you with the herbs at all- I think mine are probably a little easier to take like tea- with some honey & really hot water I can almost think it ~is~ tea! For some reason I think of bitter as the hardest to take & worthy of a quick shot with the nose pinched!
Tell that Roomie to keep behaving- I hope this isn't a taste of what kind of behavior to expect when they are here! Scaring Mom like that- and on Mother's Day too! ;o)
Hey there, just wanted to check and see if the uterus was still behaving as well at the end of the week as it was in the beginning!
Hi, I came across your blog by searching photos of uterus on google.I was diagnosed as Septate Uterus in 2004, when I was 25. I got married this January and is thinking about having a baby soon.
But, I know my own conditions and therefore I am feeling uneasy and insecure about the possible obstacle ahead. I just know there will be, though I try to be optimistic about it.
You are very brave by putting your story down on a blog. I will put this blog on my favorites.
Hope everything goes well on you and the baby.
