I know this is absolutely horrible quality, but, see that little blob inside the little black thingy?? THAT'S OUR BABY!!!!! with a strong heartbeat of 166 might I add. Praise God! So needless to say, the appointment went well. Except for the fact that my doctor made a douche bag comment. Again. The very first thing he says when he comes into the exam room is "Hey, you still pregnant?" WOW. This guy just doesn't get it. I am a hormonal, sensitive pregnant woman. DO NOT MAKE THOSE COMMENTS TO ME! EVER AGAIN.
So yes, I am still in fact pregnant & fully intend on staying that way for a long time.
He performed the ultrasound on this 1940's machine, which didn't have sound & had horrible picture quality, as you can see. When he first put the wand on my belly, he said "oh, I think I see 2 sacs." SAY WHAAA?! Then he said "never mind, just one I think." Oh, that was reassuring. HAHA! For the record, he highly doubts it's twins.
As of yesterday, I was also measuring at exactly 8 weeks. squeee. That means I am that much closer to being out of this 1st trimester. I asked the doctor now that we have seen the heartbeat, if my chances of miscarriage are pretty much gone, but to my dismay, he said I am not out of the woods until 12 weeks; but that my chances are definitely lower. Thank God, since that is my hugest fear. But, let's not focus on that. Let's focus on the fact that I am pregnant with this huge miracle & am doing just fine :)
I go in next Tuesday for my very first prenatal appointment & cannot wait!
Adorable picture of the new little one, even if it is not great quality! I am so glad that things are going well!
ReplyDeleteThank God it went well... and yeah, I'd be pretty pissed/annoyed with all of those rude/inappropriate comments. Well, God bless you with a very healthy pregnancy and baby. Being sick with morning/all day sickness is a very good sign of a healthy preg so embrace those moments :/
ReplyDeleteCongrats on seeing your little one(s) again! haha ;)
ReplyDeleteBut really..you should probably ask your doctor to keep his douchetastic comments to himself. Unless, you know, he enjoys being throat punched!
Yeah for being pregnant & getting picture of your LO; isn't it just a wonderful feeling to see them?
ReplyDeleteYou should tell your doctor that those comments are not funny & in the future to please refrain from any comment like that........you are a better woman than I am I would have made a complete ass out of myself & then just blamed the hormones :)
WOOHOO. Thats good news. I'm glad your baby is doing good and is growing and has a great heartbeat. I don't want to put anything into your head. But I am picturing you guys with a girl. I just have this feeling. My feelings are sometimes way wrong but I feel it. I always just new I would have a boy first. I wonder what yours is??? I can't wait to find out. Have you guys been talking names?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry you don't have to tell me any of them. I out of all people completely understand the constant worry and waiting of the first tri-mester to be over. My prayers are still with you and your sweet little blueberry.
Oh and btw, I think what your doc said was soooo wrong! Seriously what is "douche" is so true.
What great news! How exciting to get to see your child!! Congratulations.
ReplyDelete... Also, though, I can't believe the doctor--what a completely insensitive and douchey thing to say. I hope he was kicking himself after and will never say that again.
Congratulations! 12 weeks will come soon enough :)
ReplyDeleteYay for your ultrasound!! Isn't it exciting?! Just think...4 weeks ago we were barely finding out we were pregnant, and in 4 more weeks we'll be past the worst part! Woohoo! Good luck on your appointment tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that things are going well!
