I had a scare today, I started having some spotting last night and it continued this morning. I called the nurse and asked if I could be seen and she set me up for an ultrasound in the afternoon. I know spotting is "ok" but I had a small clot pass and I completely freaked out. The ultrasound turned out to be positive. Little bean has a head and arm/leg buds. Its little heart was pumping away at 165 bpm and I was actually able to hear it this time! The u/s tech and my doctor both seemed very positive about such a good scan as development was spot on, but of course if there is any bleeding its considered a "threatened abortion" so I'm trying to take it easy. *Update* The spotting has stopped! Yay! Im still taking it easy and one day at a time, I just really hope no more spotting occurs!! My Dr put me on progesteron suppliments so I don't know if that helped at all but I will be on them for the next 4 weeks, hopefully everything will be smooth sailing from here on out!
8 week update - Raspberry!
New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby —
about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.
