I saw a OB/GYN today and he did a quick scan in his office, saw a little sac and was happy with that but I wanted to see a heartbeat so he got me in for a more sensitive ultrasound later in the afternoon.

We saw our tiny bean and saw a tiny flicker of a heartbeat @ 112 bpm! So happy to have seen that today

WOW!!! Congratulations! That's just amazing. You find out that you're pregnant and like two weeks later there's a heartbeat. Unbelievable!

Congrats to you, too, new mummy!

Hey all! My partner and I are expecting our first April 2013 (EDD April 14th, but since that's an "estimate" I keep telling myself late April). I am very excited but also nervous and anxious to get past the first trimester. We miscarried at 6w on Mother's Day this year and so I am constantly checking to see if I am spotting even a tiny bit - which I'm not.

Things feel very different for me this time around - upset stomach, very sore and dense breasts, occasional headaches, none if which happened last time. I am thankful for every pain and bit of nausea I feel because it reaffirms that my body is growing a healthy baby.

I am waiting to hear if I got accepted into our provincial midwifery program so I can have my babe at home (only about 1% of women here can have a legal homebirth).

That's about it - congratulations to you all!

Are you in BC, Margot?

Congrats btw! Your EDD is a day before mine

 

[Margot]

No, I'm in Saskatchewan. In my city we only have five Midwives registered and licensed with the province and they can each only take one client per week. I called the day before my expected period and was still put on a wait list. You would think that with such high demand the province would change the Midwifery model of care from a "pilot project" (which is has been since 2007) had allow more Midwives to practice.

Thank you! Congrats to you too!

Roma congrats this looks so perfect! Can't wait for my scan!

Argh! my scan isn't scheduled until September 24th! Is anyone else waiting that long?

Btw, Lily posted a fantastic article on another thread that I thought others here would enjoy reading:

pbl thanks for reposting the link it is a wonderful article.

I wonder why they have scheduled your appointment that long from now? I have my scan next week... Are you going to a clinic or private practice?

I am expecting with first child due April 4th.

Congrats Roma! My ultrasound is on Friday soooo nervous! I should be around 8 weeks I think.

 

[Rainbow1866]

Thanks pbl for the article! It was just what I needed to read today. Not sure about anyone else but I have been extremely emotional lately. Pbl, will you be 12 weeks on September 24? I think most pregnant women go for 2 scans one at 12 weeks to test for abnormalties and one at 18 weeks to see anatomy and the sex of the baby. I know I had asked for a earlier ultrasound to ease my mind. I think this is the standard in Canada maybe the US is different not sure.

The doc said she aims for 8-10 weeks, and 9/24 will be 9 weeks for me. That's just the time that worked best. Probably if I freak out in advance and beg they'll let me come in for an earlier scan. It's a private practice of 4 women. I kind of like how they do it, because you're supposed to see all of them before birth so that the person delivering isn't a stranger.

Congrats to Watkins! And gl at your scan on Friday, Rainbow! I hope you'll post pics!

 

[wannabwatkins]

I will my doc does the vaginal u/s until 12 weeks hes doing this one to get better due date

[firstymemommy]

I was pretty queasy today! It feels like a hangover; I'm hungry but food seems gross! I have to eat slowly or I feel like I want to throw up. Fun times!
