Tuesday night (9w2d and the day after my fantastic u/s), I had some bright red spotting.  It was just a small amount, and only twice when I wiped.  After I freaked out and told DH, I went back upstairs to the bathroom and checked again and there was nothing.  I called the doctor and he said since the ultrasound was fine the day before that it’s nothing to worry about unless it got heavy.  It didn’t – it didn’t even reappear.  I’m wondering if it was caused by straining earlier in the day during a BM (TMI, I know).

Yesterday I had my 3 hour glucose test.  It wasn’t that bad, but by the end I was STARVING.  I was so hungry that I was shaking when I was trying to eat.  I’m hoping the test went well.  I should find out next week.

DH and I are still trying to decide if we want to tell anyone yet.  We were figuring we would, after the u/s was so good, but then after the spotting incident – it’s taken me a few days to get my head cleared and emotionally back on my feet.  I know it wasn’t much, but I had a major freak out.  I’m having a hard time keeping it to myself when I just want to shout it from the rooftops, especially since the doc said my risk of m/c was down to like 5%, but I have my next u/s on July 2, which isn’t THAT far away.  And I’ll be 12w3d.  I just don’t know.

Today was my 9w ultrasound!  The baby came up on the screen right away and measured 9w1d, so they “changed” my due date from Jan. 12 to Jan. 11.  The baby looks just like a blob!  But when you carefully look at the print out, you can see which end is which!!!  Heartbeat was 167bpm (old wives tale says it’s a girl there).  And the tech turned on the sound and we HEARD the heartbeat too – I wasn’t expecting that.  It was so amazing and overwhelming.  Doctor said my chances of not miscarrying are now 95%, so we may start telling soon.  I’ve already started planning my pregnancy scrapbook.  I haven’t officially started making one because I was superstitious, but now I feel ok about it.

I did “fail” my random glucose test though.  Normal range is 60-99 and I got a 142, but I’m pretty sure it was from my lunch (and a brownie) that I had an hour before.  But the doctor wants me to go in for a 3hr test.  Wednesday I’ll be doing that.  It’s more annoying than anything – I’m pretty sure it’ll come out ok.

Next appointment (second OB, Doppler, and NT scan) is scheduled for July 2!
