had a He** of a checkup last Thursday!
So, of course I am feeling great, no morning sickness, nothing... but the Ob visits are HORRIBLE. Very gloomy and guarded, why can't the nurses and docs be HAPPY? Anyway, they try to find a heartbeat with a doppler thingy, nothing. All over, nothing. Doc is very sad and says 'Well, maybe it's expired..." i was upset and insisted every thing was great, i FEEL great, and I think the baby is happy and alive and feeling good too...
She sadly says she'll do an ultrasound and says she'll be right back.
I'm still in the stirrups, backside to the world, you know?
The nurse wheels in the ultrasound machine and leaves me.
I sit there and WAIT.
For 25 MINUTES.
She left me in the stirrups with the news that baby expired for 25 MINUTES by MYSELF!
BABY IS FINE. Beautiful, waving wee arms and legs around, big tummy, heartbeat, looking great!
The whole visit took three hours. yeesh.
I'm 12 weeks along and loving every second. I just had a stillbirth at 8 months in october.. so I had a grand total of three months between pregnancies... I have a HUGE BIG OLD belly... and I AM LOVING IT!!!
Happy gestating, everyone!
