Well, after last night and this morning's little episodes at home with the "spotting", I was not looking as forward to the scan as I had been, even though I had been nervous anyway, but I spent the 2 hours before the scan sobbing with worry.

Anyway, we told the sonographer what has happened and she started the scan.

The news 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 meauring 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.

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 MW 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 Team Green we bought everything in neutral colours but it's all gorgeous. Here is a pic!

I'm excited for you! Glad that the scan showed everything to be OK, bleeding during pregnancy is no fun as you automatically fear the worst.
