So I'm 8 weeks this week, tomorrow actually. This is the furthest I've been since my first pregnancy so it's kind of a milestone for us. I should hopefully hear from my OB this week to go in and get my heparin injections sorted out. She also wants to see me every two weeks for scans and bloods etc. So I'm in for a fun filled next 7 months. But, I'll do whatever it takes to be able to look into the eyes of my new baby in November. Oh, did I mention, I'm due November 30th but Ob says because I have Factor 5 I can't go full term so I'll be induced at 38 weeks, which is great, unless I go into labour then which would be even better. So I'll actually be due around the 16th November. Have to clarify that with her yet. So I'm going to post a scan of my little belly blob that I had last week at 7 weeks. Mind you, it's not a very good picture because I had to take a photo of one of the scans. When I had it done and he showed me bubs, the first thing I noticed was the tiny flutter of the heart beating and I just cried. It was such a relief, because as you can well understand if you've read my previous posts, I haven't had a good experience with scans, I was so nervous. But I left with a smile on my face and I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. But, it's early days, so like I said earlier, I'm not getting my hopes up too far just yet.
Here is my 7 week belly blob. And the heartbeat is good too!!
Hi, my names Kelly. My husband is Adam Blackwell who your friends with on FB. Ages ago I was a bit naughty and had a look on his FB and saw a couple of your status's about losing your bub, as we were having a few issues falling pregnant I really felt for you and since then have always read your blog. You are a really brave woman, and I wish you all the luck in the world that is the ONE.
ReplyDeleteMuch love and strength to you, hubby and bubby.
ReplyDeleteYour ultrasound pic is amazing...yes it doesn't LOOK much, but it IS everything right now ;)
I have lost...twins....and all we have of them is the ultrasound film. We will never know if they were boys or girls(they were identical), who they looked like, anything.
May this baby grow strongly for you, and the spring time bring you a lovely little miracle xxxx
