7w1d

So good news and bad news.

First the bad news.  The bleeding started again last night.
I went to bed at 9 and woke up to go to the bathroom at 12:30.  I wasn't expecting any blood since I had been blood free for 6 days and even spot free for the last many nights.
I looked down and the toilet was full of brown blood.  I know this is tmi, but it basically looked like I had diarrhea, but it came out my vagina.

After this I was too upset to go back to sleep, but tried to reassure myself saying it was only brown and I was probably just bleeding out the old SCH.

At 1:30 I went to the bathroom again and now it was back to the pink/red bleeding I had all last week.  Now I couldn't even be relieved that it was just brown old blood.  I was also upset because of all days it had to happen the night before my oath ceremony that I couldn't miss.  I was at least glad that the u/s was already scheduled for the morning, but the bleeding again didn't make me feel better going in there.

The bleeding continued for the rest of the night, going brown by morning and then back to red as we were leaving.  I did take some comfort though knowing the bleeding was coming from the SCH.  If it was a m/c it would have gotten heavier and heavier and I would have been having severe cramps, neither of which I was experiencing.  But these things only brought me a little bit of reassurance because I was still scared for a missed m/c and I had to tell dh about the bleeding which didn't go over well.

Now the good news, the baby is doing fine.  It is measuring exact on track for 7w1d and hb was 157.  I was upset though that the tech didn't show me when she did the u/s and even though I got pictures they kind of suck in terms of quality.  I guess they are better than the picture last week that basically showed a dot as the baby.  This time the baby is more of a blob like structure.

We then met with the doctor and she decided since the baby looks good despite the bleeding that she was going to discharge me saying it is silly to keep seeing me because the bleeding/spotting can last for weeks.  I told her about my trouble getting in with my ob and so she is going to refer me straight to the high risk doctors at Women's and Infants in Providence.  Now I just need to hope that they call me soon, I never received a call today.  I really don't want to be without a doctor for long especially with the bleeding. 

I am so happy the baby is doing well.  I don't know what I would have done if I received bad news today especially since I had to go for my oath ceremony this afternoon.  That would have been the very last thing I would have wanted to do if I was m/cing.
