Boom Boom and Pow are Alive!

I'm glued to my couch while typing this because I'm officially on bed rest at 7 weeks. Lol. It's not really funny, but you didn't think I could get through a pregnancy drama free, right? Story of my life. Anyway, I went to my mom's house to surprise her with the ultrasound pics this morning. I went to use the bathroom and noticed bright red blood when I wiped. Of course, my heart stopped for what felt like 10 minutes. I immediately called my nurse and she told me it was probably nothing to worry about and to go home and rest. Well, I did just that and it got worse and worse. To the point of dripping in the toilet (TMI) like a full blown period.

I wasn't having any cramping, so I tried not to overreact and just laid back down to rest. It has gradually slowed throughout the afternoon, so that makes me feel a little better. My nurse and doctor called this afternoon after they received the actual ultrasound pics from Augusta. They said that I have a subchorionic hematoma in my uterus underneath the corner of the placentas that is probably the cause of the bleeding. It was described to me as a "cut" in my uterus from the placentas attaching that will hopefully eventually heal. There is nothing I did to cause this, nor is there anything I can do but rest. I don't need to aggravate it further since it can cause placental problems. Geez.

Has anyone else had this issue? Bright red bleeding and all? Need a little reassurance here! No scary stories please. I am to call my nurse first thing in the morning to give her an update. I can't go back to work until it stops and they make sure that all is well in there.

So, I'm going to stay positive here and share the videos/pics from this morning. This is all in God's hands and out of our control. Boom Boom and Pow are little rockstars! I was laughing and beast crying at the same time in the videos, so please forgive the shaking. Poor Andy was crying too. It was the most awesome experience ever! I couldn't even look at first...as soon as she stuck the dildo cam in I heard her say, "There's a heartbeat!" I opened my eyes and looked at the screen and saw the little heart fluttering away! She then moved to another position and sure enough there was another baby with a heartbeat! So flippin' cool!
 

Here's the first video with the two sacs. If you look below the sacs, you will see a smaller dark spot. That is the hematoma. It is pretty far away from the actual babies, so that is a good thing I hope.

Here is the second video with the heartbeats...best sound EVER:

Baby B (Boom Boom) is on the front R side and measuring 7w1d with a heart rate of 151!

Baby A (Pow) was a little harder to get to. It's deeper in my uterus on the L side measuring 6w6d with a heart rate of 144!

Sorry for the crappy quality of the pics. I would scan them in, but I can't get off the couch and go in my computer room! Bummer.

Overall, this was the most exciting day of our lives, drama and all. It's gonna be all right. It has to. Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers! Please remember if you know me in real life that we're still keeping this "hush hush" until we make it through the first trimester. Thanks so much!
