On the evening of January 1, 2008 I began cramping and spotting. This was not the way I had planned for our New Year to begin. Through the night I continued to cramp and bleed fairly heavy. I just knew this pregnancy was over for me. I was 7 weeks 2 days. Okay, I wasn't brave. I wanted to be. But I wasn't. I was scared out of my wits. I waited til morning to call my dr. because if I was having a miscarriage, there was really nothing that could be done. First thing on Wednesday morning, January 2, I called the doctor. They got me right in for an ultrasound. My little bean was found right away and his little heart was beating at 133 bpm. Although he hadn't grown much, he was just fine. I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma (basically, a blood clot in the chorionic membrane of the uterus). My doctor assured me that the clot was not in a position to interfere with the placenta. I continued to bleed for 10 weeks. During those weeks, I was a nervous wreck! I continued to be monitored every week for growth, to monitor the clot and check my cervix ( I had incompetent cervix with my twin pregnancy). I had testing done to rule out birth defects since we had already lost our daughter, Megan who was born with multiple birth defects. Everything was looking good. I started to relax! I was going to have a healthy baby!
