The Good, the Bad, and the Baby

This morning we received our second ultrasound results (a day late).  They found a 15x14 mm area of subchorionic bleed adjacent to the sac.  The good news is that a heartbeat was detected at 138 beats per minute, which is a great solid number.  Also, the baby is measuring 6 weeks and 5 days, which is actually 4 days ahead of where it should be according to our transfer dates, so that's awesome news too.  The baby appears to be growing at full speed ahead!  Because of the bleeding, they're keeping the surrogate in the hospital to keep a close eye on her progress.  Our next scan isn't for another two weeks, so in the meantime, no news is good news.  Fingers crossed that this little one keeps growing!

  8. Great heartbeat! I'm dealing with the same bleed and waiting for the next scan to look for the heartbeat as well. Apparently, we're less than a week apart in the gestational ages. Didn't realize it was that close! If all goes well, we'll see you in Delhi next Spring! Best wishes!

  10. Hi Guys, these little bleeds tend to resolve themselves, I have seen quite a few (seen a LOT of scans in the past 4 years) - it bleeds out and the placenta heals. All good! Meg xx
