Yesterday, I finally had my second ultrasound to check the viability of my pregnancy as suggested in the previous ultrasound.
And I have good news! We already saw our baby and the heartbeat is already measaured.
Based on the ultrasound, I am 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Fetal heart rate is at 159 bpm which my doctor said is normal.
Thank God our prayers are answered.
Just wanted to share the Good news.

I'm having a baby?
During the last week of February, I thought I was having my period but the volume was so low that I decided to take a pregnancy test...It is positive.
It should have been a very happy moment for us but the bleeding made me scared. You see, this is already my 3rd pregnancy. I already had a miscarriage during my second pregnancy so I guess you can understand why I am scared.
I consulted an Ob Gyne (Dra Abigail Robledo-Austria) and she explained that it could be 3 things:
1. Ectopic pregnancy
2. Threatened abortion
3. Blighted Ovum
I did a transvaginal Ultrasound and ectopic pregnancy was ruled out, usually, the drs said ectopic pregnancy is really painful and thank God I am not feeling any pain.
The gestational and yolk sac was found but no fetal pole, meaning, I am really pregnant but no fetal signs or heartbeat was detected yet, due to this, my pregnancy could be blighted ovum.
I have been reading a couple of misdiagnosed online and I am hoping this would turn out one of those stories. The doctor did say to wait for another 3 weeks to do the ultrasound again.
It might be just because the baby is still too small that we did not find the baby during ultrasound or as my ultrasound report says, I have too much gas in my ovary that it is obscuring the view to my baby.
Due to the bleeding, it can also be threatened abortion so the Dr gave me Duphaston 10mg for 2 weeks every 6 hours.
I guess this event put me closer to God again since I started to pray the rosary again.
And today, I went back to work after being one week on bed rest, and I am glad to hear their concern and support for my condition.
I hope in 2 weeks time, I would be writing a blog again, with some good news.
