9 weeks (you can kind of see the shape of a baby!)We were released from our Reproductive Endocrinologist (Dr. Donald Cline) on 4/30/09 due to his long awaited retirement. We will miss him and his nurse Jodi! We were now being seen by Carmel OB-GYN under the care of his daughter-in-law (Dr. Maret Cline). I love her! She made this scary transition very easy and smooth...despite my fears. I was considered "high risk" still at this point in my pregnancy and still taking my meds to ensure proper development of the placenta. At 8 weeks gestation I started bleeding on and off for 1 week. I was told it was the second sac "shedding" and as long as there was no cramps...that I was fine. I was put on "bed rest" for a few days and told to take it easy until the bleeding stopped. It was SO scary and we thought I might be experiencing a miscarriage. Our fears were eased some at our third ultrasound (5/4/09). It was so unbelievable because we actually got to hear a heartbeat (185 bpm). We also got to see the baby's head, hands and arms! Such a miracle.
