It’s alive! So far, anyway.

SUCCESS!

My uterus has successfully kept this embryo alive. There is a sac, an embryo and a heartbeat and at this point, that is all I was hoping for.

Sure, there is a little bit of doom and destruction hiding in my uterus, but it’s keeping itself away from the (teensy) baby and should (hopefully) not impact on future growth.

[I have an area of bleeding in the uterus, on the other side to where the embryo is implanted. They’re not sure what is causing it and the sonographer didn’t speculate on it. I’m going to try not to think too hard about it – but on the flip side, it’s nice to know that the bleeding I’m having on and off, is probably not a miscarriage.]

    Did they suggest bed rest or anything to do? I was told to be on bed rest for quite some time early in my last pregnancy. Which… was very difficult with five children to care for. I had to hire my teen and also just let a LOT of things really really really GO. I hope you are feeling well and it’s good to know so far the baby is ok and you are doing all you can. 🙂
