I've had several friends who had bleeding throughout the first trimester and they have healthy babies. I, on the other hand, had absolutely no signs of a m/c, yet there was no heartbeat at my 9 week ultrasound. I know it's SO hard not to worry though.</p> <p> Also, measuring behind is usually not a huge deal this early. I was a mess because of my previous m/c and at 6w 4d, he was measuring 6w 1d. By 8 weeks, he had caught up and was actually measuring ahead.</p> <p>Hugs :heart: Hoping so hard for a sticky baby for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6/page/2#post-1464887 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 20:01:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1464887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: @swedishfish: I agree. I've had two losses with no bleeding and now this one with tons of bleeding seems to be going ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6/page/2#post-1464861 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 19:47:17 +0000 swedishfish 1464861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: that story helps a lot. I hope everything's ok with you. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6/page/2#post-1464851 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 19:38:18 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1464851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: they are, aren't they?</p> <p>I had an uktrasound today because of another bleeding episode. This story brought me some comfort:</p> <p>The ultrasound tech said she has delivered absolutely devastating news to women who had no phsyical symptoms of there being a problem. And, about ten years ago she did a vaginally u/a on a woman who was bleeding so badly the blood was puddling on the floor during the u/s. She went on to have healthy triplet boys, who are now ten years old. </p> <p>It's morbid but gave me a great reminder that in pregnancy, nothing is normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464845 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 19:35:47 +0000 swedishfish 1464845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: no, the OB's machines are horrible compared to the RE's ultrasound machines. If my levels rise appropriately I'll ask the NP to measure the SCH next Monday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464839 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 19:33:24 +0000 mlm2934 1464839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I measured 3 days behind what I thought was latest possible O date at my first ultrasound. Yay for heartbeat! I bled a lot the first tri, it's such a stress, but doesn't have to mean the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464820 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 19:19:20 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1464820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: great update!</p> <p>Did anyone mention how large the SCH is? I had a small one but bled a LOT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464801 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 19:07:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1464801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: he said there aren't great study's to show that bed rest actually helps. But for the first few weeks he asked me not to exercise if possible. For me I still did errands like grocery shopping but I didn't walk for exercise and tried to take it as easy as I could. </p> <p>Now that I'm 13 weeks and out of the first tie unfortunately the SCH has not resolved but he did clear me for light walking and some light yoga. He just said now to just stay hydrated and stop if I feel any cramping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464784 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 18:58:18 +0000 swedishfish 1464784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: did your OB say anything about exercising? I walk 3 miles a day usually. I only did 1.5 miles today and I'm skipping my night session to relax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464579 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 17:15:10 +0000 Pepper 1464579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Fingers crossed for good results with your bloodwork! I'm so glad you were able to hear the heartbeat. &lt;3 Hopefully the SC bleed resolves quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464570 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 17:11:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1464570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Great update! </p> <p>FYI - With my SCH, the OB said that bed rest probably wasn't necessary but any heavy lifting or pelvic activity (anything that could irritate the cervix or cause contractions) should be avoided. I'm not sure if they gave you any of this advice but hopefully you get lots of rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464094 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:31:06 +0000 knittylady 1464094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So great about the heartbeat! Hoping the betas brim reassurance a good news :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464017 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:13:55 +0000 spaniellove 1464017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Wonderful to hear that you saw a heartbeat! It's hard but try not to worry too much about the dates not matching up...I was absolutely sure of my O date yet always measured 4-5 days behind. Fingers crossed for you and baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1464016 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:13:38 +0000 googly-eyes 1464016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: just wishing you the best. I measured behind in the whining of my pregnancy as well and then jumped ahead later on. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463672 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:54:59 +0000 cascademom 1463672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Hugs. Glad that there's a heartbeat. Measuring a few days behind isn't bad. I hope that your betas are increasing. Lots of fingers crossed and mojo for you for a good outcome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463608 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:39:51 +0000 bushelandapeck 1463608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: thinking of you! I was measuring 6 days behind last week at my ultrasound (based on LMP) and they weren't concerned at all. My fingers are crossed for good betas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463605 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:38:59 +0000 Smurfette 1463605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: That is great that you saw a heartbeat!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for great numbers on your next beta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463592 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:35:38 +0000 Adira 1463592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Oh, okay, good!! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463586 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:33:45 +0000 swedishfish 1463586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: they actually asked me if I knew my blood type today. I'm O+ so that wasn't an issue.</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: I have no idea what my O date was. My LMP was 11/19. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463575 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:31:04 +0000 Adira 1463575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Sorry to hear that you had mixed news at your u/s. I hope you get more answer soon!</p> <p>Out of curiosity, did you have a blood test done at all or do they already know your blood type and that you're not Rh-Negative? When I had bleeding at 7 weeks, it was important that I get the Rhogam shot since I have Rh-Negative blood. Just want to make sure that's not an issue for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463566 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:28:23 +0000 Tidybee 1463566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so hoping for you and that little heartbeat in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463564 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:28:08 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1463564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Seeing the heartbeat is a great first step! Are you sure on your O dates? If not, then the date discrepancy is nothing to be worried about. Also, measuring a few days behind that early isn't a big deal, I think I measured about 4 days behind and all is well. Hoping the best for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463558 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:26:14 +0000 littlek 1463558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: that's great you saw a heartbeat!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1463549 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:24:26 +0000 swedishfish 1463549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I had an ultrasound today. I thought I was 7 weeks 1 day along but baby is measuring 6 weeks 3 days. We did see a heartbeat but there's a sub chorionic bleed. The NP said she can't tell whether or not the pregnancy will progress so I had another beta done today. I'll get more blood drawn on Wednesday to see if my levels are still increasing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1462419 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 22:44:11 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1462419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you!!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1462370 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 22:10:05 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1462370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keeping you in my thoughts, fingers crossed for good news tomorrow! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1462365 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 22:07:58 +0000 Rocker2014 1462365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sending healthy, sticky vibes in your direction! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-needed-6#post-1462331 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 21:47:47 +0000 swedishfish 1462331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone!
