Hello everyone!
Bumps I hope you're little one is feeling better now he's seen the GP. Its so easy to beat yourself up over not taking him sooner but with some things, you wonder if they're ill or just grumpy/tired/teething. If I took DD everytime she wasn't herself I'd be there every week.
So, I had my scan. They kept me waiting for an hour past my appointment - with a bladder containing approx. 2 pints of water. They first did an abdominal scan which showed the gestational sac measuring 6 weeks, she said she couldn't see anything in it but the sac itself looked good, bright line around it, good shape and I also had a cyst on my ovary which is also good (corpus luteum?).
She said I could either have a vaginal scan or come back in 2 weeks for another abdominal scan. She did warn me that a vaginal scan might not show anything extra and that might cause me more anxiety. I opted for it anyway.
So, the vaginal scan showed yolk sac which she said was a good sign, everything where it should be. Then she said "Can I see a flicker there? Let me just magnify that". So she zoomed in on this white spot and it was flickering away and she said "See that flicker Dirge, that's your baby". And I promptly burst into tears.
The sonographer said its the smallest baby she's picked up a heart beat on but it measures fine. She printed me a little picture which really looks like a dot but I love it.
I can't believe it. I was totally convinced that it was going to go the same way as the last time.
I have to go back in two weeks, fx it's still growing and flickering away

More spotting in the hospital but they said not worry unless it was heavy or clotted.
