With more spotting this weekend, Caitlin called the OB for an earlier ultrasound to check things out. We are happy to announce baby bean (Mommy renamed you baby bean, rather than little peanut!) is growing right on track at exactly 7 weeks today. I originally guessed 6w6d ....so all the earlier data on HCGs are based on one day ahead of schedule. (I corrected the timeline on right side of blog- but did not change all the earlier posts). There is a nice strong heartbeat at 147!!!
We also know why she has been spotting. The placenta is exactly on top of the cervix, which is known as placenta previa. She will likely continue to spot (even fresh red blood) until the placenta migrates away from the cervix. If she has a heavy flow of blood, (covers a pad) then she needs to call her OB immediately, which may require bed rest or hospitalization. One thing for sure.....she will be on pelvic rest for the entire pregnancy! POOR JOE!
