I had another scare today. This time my bleeding was bright red and I felt it gushing out ! OMG! I thought I was having a m/c! I had a couple of little itsy bitsy clots of blood and some minor cramping.
I thought I was going to go crazy. I immediately called RE and went in and prayed and prayed the entire way. It was just so awuful. I couldn't stop crying. Poor DH, he left work to meet up with me and I know he was upset because he wants this as much as I do. Everyone at his job was praying for us. I know bleeding can happen in early pregnancy, and sometimes throughout the entire pregnancy, but it is not something I want to experience again. Dr. Saleh said not to worry because my Hcg levels had been so high in the past, he thought it was just a normal episode of early pregnancy bleeding. I just couldn't talk to anyone without the tears wanting to come out. Mitzy drew for a beta and they said they would call me back around 1:00pm. Michelin walked out into the hallway with us and said something to try and comfort me, but I just started bawling on her shoulder.
2:16 pm Lila, my nurse, called back and said the hcg numbers are still over 5,000, which she said was really good. I am scheduled for another u/s tomorrow to check on baby at 9:00 am. I'm still having some brown spotting, but not much.
Your Baby:
Your baby is 0.16 to 0.2 inches long (4-5mm) when measured from crown to rump. It is now identifiable as a human baby.
The limb buds are growing rapidly, developing into little fins with nodules at the ends which will eventually become fingers and toes. The arms have already differentiated into hand and shoulder segments.
The cerebral hemispheres of the brain are growing, and the eyes and nostrils are appearing. Your baby's heart bulges from its body and the heart chambers are divided and formed. Blood vessels now circulate blood throughout the whole body. The head looks large and is bent on the chest.
Your baby's face is forming, but its eyes are on the sides of its head and are still sealed. The discs that will become your baby's eyes will move over to the front of the face over the course of the next few months.
Bone cells are beginning to develop and the outline of the baby's nervous system is complete. The pigment in your baby's eyes can be seen under the skin overlaying them. By this point there is also a pancreas and an appendix. The tail is still visible, but it will soon fade. The umbilical cord is growing and the placenta is maturing as well.
Your Body:
Your nipples may feel sensitive. Small nodules, called Montgomery's tubercles, may appear on the areolae.
Your blood pressure is lowered by pregnancy hormones, and as a result you may sometimes feel dizzy or faint when you stand for a long time.
Morning sickness may continue.
Cervical mucous coagulates to form a plug in your cervical canal to keep it closed and protected throughout your pregnancy. It will be expelled prior to giving birth.
