Houston, We Have a Heartbeat!
So, the ultrasound went well! We were able to see the gestational sac, yolk sac, fetal pole, and a little heartbeat! The heartbeat was too new to measure BPM, but definitely there- a little flicker on the screen! Most, importantly, there is only one! In the past couple of days, I started convincing myself that I might be carrying twins and was freaking out! So, maybe I can enjoy at least a couple of anxiety free days before I invent the next issue? We got a look at my fibroid too (another freak-out I had been having) and it looks small and away from everything important. They're going to measure it as we go along, but don't think it will interfere with anything. I also had my initial pre-natal appointment with a midwife, which went well. Of course, I got a lecture about the need for "supports" because of my "situation," but it wasn't too bad. So, overall, I am feeling pretty good today!

Wow!!! That's a great appointment considering how early you are.....when do you go back??
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you!!
ReplyDeleteI am a little perturbed for you that you got lectured about your "situation". Seriously? Do they think you didn't think about that beforehand. You're probably better prepared than 90% of the mothers they see.
Thanks guys! My next ultrasound is in two weeks!
ReplyDeleteI know, as far as the lectures about support- it's annoying. So far, I've been smiling and just saying something like "this baby is very planned and very wanted, yada, yada." I can imagine it getting old! Today, I had to go back to get my blood drawn and the phlebotomist started asking about whether this is my first pregnancy, when am I due, etc. I kept thinking "please don't ask my husband, please don't ask about my husband, please don't ask about my husband!"
