Holding onto Hope
Right now my wife is 11 weeks pregnant and on Sunday, Heather started spotting a little bit. She called the doctor and they wanted her to get to the ER as soon as possible. They performed an ultrasound and found that the baby's heart rate was 80 bpm and it should be around 140 bpm. They also determined that the baby's development was at 9 weeks instead of 11 weeks. The diagnosis was a threatened miscarriage and the outlook did not look very good. They sent us home and told us to visit Heather's OB Dr. today. So...our visit today gave us a little hope. After performing an exam, the dr. said there was only a little blood, no fetal tissue and the cervix is closed. They did not do an ultrasound today, but placed Heather on bedrest, gave her some medicine (progesterone) and want us to come back tomorrow for an ultrasound. We will let you know what we find out tomorrow. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
