I had my US in the afternoon on the 5th. I was very nervous. I had a couple more nickle sized tissue/clots that morning. I was so worried. My little boy (7.5yrs) kept telling EVERYONE in the WORLD that he was going to be a big brother on the 4th (big family gathering) I was worried about how I was going to tell everyone the bad news expcting the worst. You would too if you were having chunks of tissue like that coming out of you........
How heartbreaking an awkward that would be.
My husband and my son came with me. Last minute appt=no sitter.
I had drank my 32oz H2O, and am on the table. My husbabd and my son take their places. Squirt of some jelly, and some moving around till a picture comes into view.
There's the baby! The baby is jumping around like a little firecracker! My son starts laughing uncontrolably, then I start laughing at him. Then the US tech starts laughing. My son stops, I stop, then she zooms back in, then my son starts giggling again. Then I start and the tech looses view and she starts laughing. This goes on. Finally my husband puts down the law with our son, and tells the monitor tech to stop too
She zooms back in and the baby is SUCKING IT'S THUMB! OMG how cute is that!
After all the measurments are done:
Baby is 10weeks, one day old (exactly as I thought). (due date 1/31/08)
Perfectly normal!
Heart beat 166bpm (normal)
Palcenta is in a good spot
Unbilical cord with great blood flow
Nice and ACTIVE.
Cervix is closed.
What a reilief...............
The US tech could not figure out where the tissue was coming from, but she said that the baby appears to be in NO danger, and doing very well.
So there is my update for you all. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts.
