Pregnancy Update

I am 14 weeks today!  I have not updated much about what all has been going on.  While in the States I started having some complications (bleeding) and had to see my doctor twice.  I mentioned in an earlier post about our first visit.  A few days after that checkup I woke up in the middle of the night bleeding really bad.  So much so that we were certain that I had lost the baby.  We waited until the clinic opened to go in and see the doctor.  The first thing they did was a sonogram and to our amazement the heartbeat showed right up.  The baby, placenta, and fluid around the baby looked perfect.  I am dealing with a subchorionic hemorrhage.  The doctor assures me that it will clear up on it's on and that the baby is fine.  He said that until it all passes that I could continue to bleed for a few weeks.  I do not think I will have peace of mind until it clears up completely!  I had a regular scheduled checkup with my doctor in Guatemala City on Thursday.  We heard the heartbeat, and it sounded good.  Everything else seems to be fine.  Just please pray for this to clear up and for me to not have any further complications.  We will soon be traveling back to our home in Sayaxche which will be about nine hours from my doctor.  My next scheduled appointment is the end of November.  Maybe, just maybe, we will find out what we are having on that day.
