What a rollercoaster surrogacy is. I am sure I am preaching to the choir in most instances.
This morning we received our 10 week scan. The baby is measuring at 10 weeks (right on track) and the heart rate is normal (150), but there is more subchorionic bleeding. We've been through this last month and it cleared up quickly. This time round has me a bit more worried because the bleed covers 3/4 of the sac, while last time it was only adjacent to the sac. It just sounds more serious. Dr. Google is no help.
Our surrogate is back in the hospital and on bed rest, so we should hopefully hear some better news the day after tomorrow (tomorrow is Independence Day in India). In the meantime, I am trying to focus on the positive things to be thankful for:
1. The baby's growth is on track
2. These bleeds often clear up
3. The surrogate isn't in pain.
4. She is receiving excellent care
I need to lay off of the caffeine and google. Brent, as usual, is as cool as a cucumber (I am thankful for that, too).
Having said all of that, the awesome Bernadette has finally made it home after nearly 5 months in India, so maybe I should stop my complaining. :)
Positive thoughts!
