at 7 weeks pregnant, this is all still relatively new and so much can happen. Add a second baby to the mix and you have one scared mama (and really freaked out daddy).
I have already had one unsettling episode during this pregnancy. At about 6 1/2 weeks (on the plane ride back from the Dominican Republic I might add) I bled pretty heavily and suddenly. I actually didn't even feel anything happening... just looked down and saw blood everywhere. I hurried to the tiny bathroom on the plane and tried to compose/ clean myself best I could for the remainder of the flight. I was almost certain I had lost the pregnancy. We didn't get home until really really late and I was just too exhausted to go to the emergency room to check and see if everything was alright. I called my OB the next morning to see what I should do. Since the bleeding had already subsided I was instructed to just keep a close eye on everything and see my doctor at our originally scheduled appointment the next day. Tuesday morning rolls around and I have been blood free for over 24 hours. Doctor does an ultrasound and discovers not one baby, but two, BOTH with beating hearts. I can only assume that the bleeding was caused by too much growth? Who knows... I am trying my best to not over analyze it. Do we know if this pregnancy will continue with two babies? No, but I am hoping and praying that it does. I already have fallen in love with the idea of our "big" little family.
