We saw our bean!

...and he or she has a little heart fluttering away! I am SO relieved, but it was terrifying going into the scan room, not knowing what we were going to be told. Jamie had to come with us too, as I didn't want to tell anyone else about what had happened, so couldn't ask either of the Nannas to look after him. The sonographer was lovely though and found Bean within seconds and turned the screen round so I could see. She said there is an area of implantation bleeding, but it's very common and shouldn't cause any more problems. The bean measured 6+ weeks, which is what I thought I was, so that's a good sign too.

Afterwards, we went to Bourton on the Water with my mum, to visit my gran in hospital, and she was on good form. Was tempted to tell her our news, but I'm still not feeling 100% confident, so would rather wait til after the 12 week scan. Just so relieved and happy that everything is ok. Hang on in there little bean! x

The good news is that Wayne is back from Scotland - he left Stonehaven at 2am, as he just wanted to be here with us, and got home at 11am. I'm so glad he's back. The other bit of good news is that there hasn't been anymore bleeding since yesterday afternoon...I think this is good, but part of me wonders whether there just isn't anything left to come out :(

Not so good news is that the GP didn't phone this morning about a scan. In the end, I rang the surgery and had a stroppy receptionist tell me that he's busy with patients and he'll get back to me when he can. I waited a bit longer and then decided to take matters into my own hands, and rang CGH and asked to be put through to the Early Pregnancy Unit. I'm so glad I did, and wish I'd done that first thing this morning, as the doctor I spoke to was lovely. She said the fact that the bleeding has stopped is a good sign, and has booked me in for a scan at 11am tomorrow. The unit is only open in the mornings, which is why I couldn't go today. The GP did eventually ring and was apologetic, but I felt a bit annoyed that he hadn't kept to his word and rung me first thing.

So we're still waiting, and just hoping so much that tomorrow brings good news.

Think it's all over :(

I started bleeding today while I was at work. In my usual way, I tried to carry on as normal as I was in the middle of a lesson, but knew something wasn't right. At lunchtime I went over to the staff loos and it seemed that I had lost a lot of blood. It slowed down through the afternoon, but that hasn't really reassured me. I went to pick Jamie up from Wayne's mum's, and then rang the doctors and managed to get an appointment this evening. The doctor prodded my tummy (I think to see if there was any pain as that could indicate an ectopic pregnancy), and said there wasn't really anything that could be done - the pregnancy could carry on as normal, or it could be all over. He's going to arrange for me to go for an early scan and should be ringing in the morning to let me know what time.

The timing of this isn't great, as Wayne is in Scotland at the moment and not due back til the weekend. I'm really scared. As much as I want to know what's happening, I'm also terrified of going in for the scan and them saying there's nothing there. I'm trying to rest as much as possible tonight and just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings I suppose.
