Well, we had our 2nd appointment yesterday and everything is looking good with baby Schieck. However, they did change my due date back to the original date of July 28th. We got to see our little munchkin on an ultrasound again and even got pictures this time! He/She looks like a little gummy bear with a distinctive head and trunk and even a little arm sticking up! (Yes Dad, it is the left arm!)
However, they did find the cause of my bleeding. It is something called SCH or Subchorionic Hematoma. SCH is a gathering of blood between the membranes of the placenta and the uterus. A more technical name is the chorion. The doctors made me feel as this is something that will take care of itself. Either with more bleeding or my body will absorb the blood. However reading some of the side effects of SCH is kind of scarey, so I'm going to try and trust what the doctors are telling me. We will have another ultrasound in 4 weeks, to see if the area of blood has decreased in size. Many prayers please!
