**possible loss triggers**
So I had my ultrasound this morning and based on my LMP I should have been 7w2d today but based on the ultrasound measurements it showed only 5w5d with a heart beat of 98bpm. The US tech was acting funny and I knew that those numbers didn't seem right. She said I would see the midwife still but didn't know if they would do my official first OB appt. I wait and wait and wait for the midwife to come in and we basically discuss how I had been nursing and gotten pregnant after my 3rd pp cycle and I wasn't completely sure about the timing of the first two, how long they were etc. MW tells me that it's good the baby has a heartbeat and it could just be early and that is why it is low, or it could be a sign of something worse. The measuring smaller could be an indicator of irregular ovulating due to nursing, or it could be a sign of something worse. She said it's too early to tell and they need another ultrasound next week, she looked sad, kept pouting out her lip, I can't tell if it's because she is worried or because she could tell I was worried.
Sorry for the rambling.
I know no one can tell me what the outcome will be but maybe you have experience with something similar, measuring small and making a comeback?
Now I have to wait 9 days to see if baby still has a heart beat and has been growing or if I am a walking tomb.
How will I know? Will I bleed? Will I start barfing if everything is ok? Fuck.
Also have an appt for my husbands leg to be *xrayed* after his bone graft and see if it's taking or if they are finally just going to chop off his leg and now I'm a hot freaking mess.
We planned on telling our 4year old on Christmas and now I don't feel like we should and that is making me sad too.
Halp??
