subchronic bleeding Posted: 07-17-08 20:33pm
So yesterday I was cramping all day, which
continued into today so I called off of
work. Then around noon I noticed blood
when I wiped, let me tell you instant
terror! So I call the drs and cant get
through so I decided to just go to the
hospital. They give me a doppler and get
the babys heartbeat, then take my blood.
They come back in and tell me that they
want to check my cervix which looked good
it was closed and no more blood was found.
Then they come back in and tell me they
want and ultrasound because my HCG levels
were high and she she also wants to make
sure the baby is growing properly. I was
confused cuz of the HCG thats not a bad
thing but I wasn't sure at this point. So
I go to ultrasound and they start taking
dimensions of the baby. As they are
trying to get the arm length the baby
starts flipping around, they sticks it
hand out right into view. So she tries to
get the length again and the baby flipped
over again. So at this point all I could
do was laugh cuz my fears were calmed just
by seeing the baby being so active. The
tech was even busting up. So finally I
was done there. The dr comes back and
reports that my HCG levels were high cuz I
am a week and a half further along then I
was told. But I knew I was further then
the dr told me. They told me the blood is
called subchronic bleeding? And it is
just from growth and pulling in my uterus.
So thankgod for that! Funny thing she
did say was my babys arms are measuring 18
weeks and 2 days and everything else is 16
weeks and 4 days. I told her that was
funny cuz my boyfriend arm spand is
unusually longer then normal he is 6'3 and
his arm spand is 6'10. She laughed and
said no doubt the baby has inherited his
arms! No more bleeding for me just some
mild cramps but I feel much better. So
after a scarey day, I am releived its all
over and the baby is an active wiggle
worm!
