THE SUBCHORIONIC BLEED APPEARS SMALLER.

Our surrogate had her 2nd scan yesterday, as you can see from the report the subchorionic bleed is smaller, the heart beat is up to 167 bpm and everything is looking good!!!!!!!

We are so happy that this scan brings good news, long way to go but we are happy, happy, happy!

For the first time ever, no news is good news!!

Firstly I would like to thank everybody for their kind words and sharing their past experiences and helping to put our minds at ease after our last post.

Secondly, I would like to apologise for my instant reaction regarding the scan. I think this was an immediate reminder of our first failed attempt and missed abortion, I automatically felt impending doom. I blogged without thinking of the positives that were also stated on the ultrasound report and there are lots of positives there!!! I guess it should be called blogging under emotion maybe a similar condition as texting when drunk... It does make me realise how I am not as in control as I have been telling/fooling myself. And it is true what Jo Jo commented 'we all do have our own ISSUES' it is truly an emotional roller coaster and every twist and turn does leave me with my stomach in my mouth. It is however very reassuring to have the support of everyone who is also going through this similar journey.

The week otherwise has been okay, we have constantly been thinking about things in Mumbai and hoping our SM and little bump are ok and not too bored on bed rest. I have stayed away from google, Will however has been looking for anything he can and educating himself and me about subchorionic bleeds.

We would also like to thank Dr Ramesh for putting up with us the day we received our ultrasound report and her ongoing care of our SM.

We hope every ones journey is progressing smoothly and fingers crossed for less ISSUES and loads of smooth sailing!!!!

Things are never easy.....

We have just received our first ultrasound report for our SM there are lots of positives there but one finding that fills us both with fear. Report below

We have spoken to our Doctor and our SM is on strict bedrest and she is continuing on all medications, she is otherwise well. Fortunately she has no associated pain or visible bleeding....... Please help!!! Have any of you heard of this, been through this or know anything about this?

It is amazing how quickly your bubble can burst we were both on top of the world and so happy with our beta numbers. I was feeling very quietly confident but this has completely ripped the rug out from under me. I really want to get on the net and go crazy reading anything I can but also realise that I will only focus on the negatives, unfortunately this is me...... I can already feel myself slipping back into self protection mode and we are only 7 weeks in..... Our house seems to be full of emotion at the moment but very very quiet...

Hoping and praying for all to be well..........
