Doctor appointment update LONG
Hi girls,
Sorry this is so late. It's been a long, LONG day. What was supposed to be a 1/2 hour appointment turned into a 2-hour appointment and blood work.
I got to the doctor's and they immediately brought me back into the ultrasound room. Baby looks okay. Measuring 15cm at 13w3d and had a HB of 129bpm.
I thought that the 129bpm was low since last time I went the HB was 168, but the tech said that it is normal range for this stage in pregnancy. I'll trust their judgement.
The doctor came in to show me the ultrasound results and they've found three large blood clots that are surrounding the baby. The clots are measuring around 3.5cm x 1.6cm, so they're definitely a considerable size. The doctor said they are subchorionic hematomas caused by bleeding of the uterine wall. I asked what this meant for my pregnancy and the baby and she said that if I have any bleeding whatsoever, no matter the color, that I need to come in for an ultrasound because this puts me at risk for a late-term m/s, if we aren't monitored correctly (it's like a 5% chance, but she was concerned because of the amount of blood and pain I was/am having).
They sent me to get blood drawn and for a Rhogam (which I'll repeat at 24-26 weeks or so) and wrote me a medical note and told me to go home and not go into work. I'm going back a week from now for another ultrasound and exam to check the progress of the clots.
I was already by my office, so I stopped in and gave my boss the medical note. He said that I should go home, that he could see that I was in obvious pain and that I needed to do whatever I needed to in order to take care of the baby and me.
Needless to say, I know I'm in good hands, but I'm frightened beyond words by this news. Thanks for all your T&Ps. I'm going to lie down now.

I'm glad that everything looks good right now. I can't imagine how scared you must be, though. You are in my thoughts and hopefully, next week's ultrasound looks much better.

You girls have definitely made me feel better. I'm still in a lot of pain but the bleeding is slowing down (it stopped for a while yesterday and restarted again late afternoon.
I am hoping that we will get a better report at my next appointment next week.
