I'm trying to catch up here on this pregnancy journey before I forget everything. If you missed the first post you can read about it here.
In late January, I had my pregnancy check up and at the end of the month we were also scheduled to have an ultrasound. This scan would hopefully show if the hemorrhage was dissolving and the baby's gender.
However, since it had been a month of no bleeding, the doctor believed that I should be fine and have nothing to worry about. Which brought so much relief to hear that he wasn't worried and I shouldn't be either. Before I was really scared and having bad dreams of miscarrying. It has been a real struggle for me to embrace this pregnancy and enjoy it. I have been in fear of losing the baby since the beginning.
My whole first trimester I was nauseated, vomiting and occasionally bleeding, so it has been very hard to enjoy this pregnancy. It definitely was not like any of the others, thats for sure.
Then a week later I get a call from the nurse letting me know that the scan showed I have placental lakes. Which is lakes of blood, near the placenta. Okay, now I'm a little freaked out and thinking what does that mean? Supposedly the lakes will dissolve on their own and that I shouldn't worry. She scheduled me for another scan in a few weeks. They want to monitor them and see if they are starting to dissolve. So that's where we are at right now. Just back to waiting. But this time I'm feeling okay and not worried. I believe God will take care of me and this little one.
