I think I know where my twin went!

Yesterday morning I awoke to a nightmare.  I thought I miscarried, well actually I still think I did.  At first we did not detect the twin that I thought was there when we did our first ultrasound.  I've had miscarriages before, so I knew what to expect.  The doctor told me to come in this morning for another ultrasound and, I thank you God and all the angels around me,  we saw a heartbeat!  ... and a very huge blood clot.  The baby has grown another millimeter and a tenth this week; that was very  exciting to see.  The doctor showed concern about the blood clot and ordered bed rest.  He said the placenta was about 70% attached.   He said that my twin may have actually been there and miscarried, that is usually what would cause the detaching of the placenta.  We discovered a problem with Crinone too.  It appears that the carrier substance doesn't get completely absorbed or come out and he pondered whether this blockage of Crinone residue was actually blocking the absorption of the progesterone.  Things that make you go "Hmmmm?".  Anyway, that's awesome news that our little Angel is still in there growing away.  I told him that everything was okay and that all the commotion would pass and that he was going to be safe in there.  Already I can tell that he will be a good listener.  Now he has a little guardian angel.  The bad news is that the blood clot is going to come out at some time and that scares the hell out of me.  I go back on Tuesday, March 4th for my follow-up ultrasound.

I am glad to hear that your appointment went well, and hopefully the clot will resolve itself sooner, rather than later!

So scary--but I'm glad the baby is growing.

Hi I just found your blog and want to say good luck! Grow little one grow!!!

I also saw that we are neighbors. I live in Covington and work in Amite.


Thank you, God, for blessing us with a successful full term pregnancy and for helping me recognize and receive your guidance and healing power as our baby grows in my womb.  I know that we are being blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby, and I thank you for your loving presence in our lives.  Amen.
