27-4-2008 - Threatened Abortion

My mood while writing this blog: nervous

---

Today I went to the ER to have my baby looked at. I was really scared about my small amount of bleeding yesterday. The baby's heartbeat was 147 bpm and was 1.4 cm long. The doc said that my baby's fine however...this is what is called a missed abortion. I don't know how serious this problem is. He basically told me that my baby had a small detachment from my uterus about 1.6mm...which I also have no idea how bad that is. He told me that some women have this and the baby goes on to develope fully and some will miscarry. This all sounds strange to me. I am so terrified of a miscarriage. Has anyone else had this detachment happen??? Was everything ok? Was it as serious as it sounds. They throw that word miscarriage out there and makes it sound like the baby's already dead! But, the doc told me that chances are if I were gonna miscarry, it probably would've happened by now and that it's good sign that my baby has a strong heartbeat. I have to go for another ultrasound on Monday which I am equally nervous before...but I do love hearing the heartbeat and seeing the little thing. It makes me so happy. Please leave me a comment if this has happened to you. I need to put my mind at ease.
