We had our scan this morning, a couple of days early, because I started bleeding last night. Or gushing, depending on how you want to phrase it! Either way, it have us a terrible fright to see a *lot* of bright red blood coming out of me!! 
BUT, the husband gave No. 9 a severe telling off and grounded him, and he must have listened a little bit because the scan this morning showed him bouncing around, happy as a clam, with a lovely strong foetal heart beat. And there has been no bleeding since. I'm on bedrest for a couple of days because I'm still cramping, but I'm thanking every God there is that our little baby is nice and strong. And that there's only one of him! 
We've been recommended to go under an OB which we'll definitely be doing, although it's going to mean some *serious* budgety seriousness and cutting back, but for the health of our baby and the peace of mind? Definitely worth it. So there you go. 8 weeks today, and aside from our hearts still not resuming a normal rate of beating as yet, all seems to be well. ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

OMG - what a fright! 
I hope you and DH have recovered. That's enough frights and emotional stress for the rest of No. 9's life. I hope DH has grounded him for life! Hope the rest of the pregancy is totally stress (I wish I could say vomit) free! Take care, and rest, rest, rest (I wouldn't need an excuse!)

Thank you all for your collective tellings-off to the kiddly - the collective wrath of half of New Zealand should help keep the little toad where he should be
I've been taking it very easy today, spending the afternoon on the couch and transferring to bed for a lovely long sleep and although I still have cramping, I've been pretty crampy-pregnant all through, so I think I'll just take note of the severity.
I've also booked in with an OB and I'm seeing him next week - it's one of the specialists I've been seeing at F+ which is great. Right. Back to lying horozontal. At least No. 9 seems to know he's in trouble today - he's only made me puke once! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Slighty off topic Ginger but what will happen if number 9 turns out to be a girl and we're all used to saying he? Could it cause a complex?? Will someone forget and say "he" and scar number 0 for life??

Good point because, although I've been calling him 'he' since he went back in (because I didn't want to call him 'it') ... I have the strongest sense that he *is* actually a she. The husband has been convinced he's a she since day 1 (I think because he's terrified of teenage girls, he knows it'll be his luck to end up with one! ) ... but I didn't want to seem fickle by changing my mind every 5 minutes, so until further notice (approximately 12 weeks away) she's a he even though I think he probably is a she With me? ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

LOL, my money was on twins with your hcg levels! I think that number 9 is a strong bubba with such high readings. Such great news that you have seen a healthy strong heartbeat - did they give you the heartbeat rate? I can't remember if they do that at the first scan, or the next one... that might give us an indication of sex...
Take care of yourself and number 9 - I hope he/she gives you a hassle free pregnancy from here-on-in! ------------- Lou http://www.babysfirstsite.com">
