I had my appointment today with the ob and we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time! It was strong and healthy! It's so reassuring to hear. Other than that it was a quick appointment. After the heartbeat, I peed in a cup, and the ob felt my uterus by putting pressure on my stomach and said everything seemed great. Having this be my second pregnancy I feel these appointments go a lot quicker. Since I've gone through it before I have a lot less questions, makes this easier. I have another appointment in 4 weeks and they'll do the same things at that appointment. Then in 8 weeks on Sept. 29, is the ultrasound and we can find out the sex of the baby! I can't wait for that one!
29 weeks to go and feeling pretty good.
Oh man, what anticipation! It must be wholly exciting to know that pretty soon you'll know the sex! I'm so vexed by this blog. I'm both incredibly interested and incredibly sad that I don't have a baby on the way. Oh, internal conflict!
ReplyDeleteThat is exciting! I know this appointment can be scary, with the terrifying possibility that there won't be a heartbeat. I'm glad everything is going well for you!
ReplyDeleteWow, I remember being in this stage- it is so exciting. I hope the baby cooperates for its first picture. Are you going to reveal the sex of the baby in your blog?
