Last night and this morning I have had some more “spotting”, so needless to say, I was not looking as forward to the scan as I had been, even though I had been nervous anyway, but I spent the two hours before the scan sobbing with worry.
Anyway, we told the sonographer what has happened and she started the scan.
The news today is that all is absolutely fine with Flump. He’s measuring at 20+6 which would put us at our original date when we first calculated but obviously the date doesn’t change as it is less than a week. His belly and thigh bone were both measuring a week and a day ahead at 21+5 but she said with regard to the leg, that’s a good thing as short legs can be a sign of something being wrong.
He weighs approximately around 1lb as of today.
The placenta is anterior and is not at all low which I am pleased about. She said all is fine with him and the placenta and she could see no reason for the discharge at all. Told me to mention it at my next midwife appointment which is Wednesday but didn’t seem concerned. She said that sometimes it can be that your cervix is sensitive so it can bleed but it won’t harm the baby at all.
Anyway, everything is good and here are our scan pics:
We also stuck to our plan and went shopping afterwards for our first ever baby items. We bought more than intended because we got carried away. We spent £90 but bringing home baby stuff for our OWN baby is just so cool! It’s made it feel more real!
As we are firmly remaining [color=green]Team Green[/color] so we have no idea as to what sex Flump is, so we bought everything in neutral colours but it’s all gorgeous. Here is a picture!

Glad to hear all is well, and that the scare was nothing to worry about.
You won’t stop worrying now until maybe they hit 18!
Looks like you have a good shop. That will be the first of many…

Hey, don’t worry you have come this far everything should be okay! I have had a lot of spotting more than usual with this pregnancy. I thought it had something to do with my age. I am 31 now and I have two other children both are girls. I have never experienced that before and of course I went to worrying as well. The doctor said that it could have been my menstrual that was backed up trying to flush itself out. It has been eight years since I was last pregnant. Good Luck and stop worrying. I am 20 weeks and still spot sometimes. Take Care!

Thanks for your comment. It’s always good to know that there are others out there that have experienced the same thing and have been fine too. Touch wood.. everything has settled down now. MW appt tomorrow so will discuss my aches and pains with her but I know Flump is doing well so I’m not too concerned.
Thanks again xx
