So today I was going in, convinced I would be told to get a D&C, that my pregnancy was over. I had been crying constantly for the last 5 days. The doctor hadn't left me with much hope last time, I was measuring 3 weeks behind, a week and a half if you counted from my (late) ovulation. There was no yolk sac, no fetal pole, no heartbeat. Just 2 deformed sacs measuring at 5 weeks instead of 6w4d.
Well, today, 5 days later, we saw this. We saw a heartbeat.
Our baby is measuring at 6w4d, which is a week and a half more than 5 days ago, and only 5 days behind now.
Our baby has a heartbeat, which we saw flickering and we got to hear it!
The doctor said the tech was wrong, there never were 2 sacs, just the one seen at 2 different angles (there were NO pictures with both) and she said he was wrong to leave me hardly any hope.
It took a minute to sink in that I was seeing our baby
since I was so prepared for nothing at all!
She went over the rest of the appointment, everything is progressing normally apart from that slight lateness... Which doesn't sound like such a big deal anymore, she said that measures aren't so precise before 12 weeks anyway. I'm not too worried, baby has caught up 10 days in 5 days' time.
I am SO SO SO happy!
Now to get some sleep and stop the junk food again (I needed comfort food).
Thank you to everyone who prayed for me and held out hope for me when I just couldn't. Thank you so much!
