Aww Poppy~ that IS scary! My doc said the same thing~ you're never safe until that baby is in your arms! I believe it will be ok for you hun!
truth~ that's awesome that you were able to hear the h/b with the doppler :happdance:
I had my first appt. with my OB today.. it was *SO*SO*SO* good to see him. He is hands down the sweetest and most compassionate doctor I've ever met in my life. It went very well.. my uterus is measuring at 9 weeks already which I will be tomorrow which is great..
he also said my uterus is super retroverted- which means- the doppler is NOT going to work for me as soon as it will for others. He said he might have tried to find it but with it being so retroverted~ it'd probably be impossible at this point. I thought that was interesting to know.. so I guess the doppler is going to stay in the box for me for at least another week or 2 before I try again. SUCKS!!!! Now I actually REALLY want to use the doppler knowing that I can't quite yet!
My next u/s will be a nuchal scan @ 12 weeks. I'm happy that I only have 3 weeks to wait. He also said that bc I was low on amniotic fluid in my pregnancy with my son~ that I'll get more scans than average which I thought was AWESOME I'm ALL about seeing the baby as often as I can!
On a funny- or not so funny note- I stepped on the scale and I know I weigh around 150 pounds.. so I put the bottom bar of the scale to the 150 while I was waiting for the nurse to come over.. well, she came over right when I did and slid the thing all the way to like 187 and I NEAR DIED. My heart stopped for a second and I was like "DANG, I Know I haven't been exercising and probably could eat more fruits and veggies but HOLY SHIT!" Turns out STUPID ME had not put it in the indentation thing properly which was causing it do that... errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I had a MAJOR WTF moment there! PHEW! So, I'm not 187.. a smidgen higher than 150.. still not happy with some of the weight gain~ but what can ya do I'm trying not to care!
Other than that~ it went well.. so I'm glad .. and I'm ELATED to be back @ my OB's again. Still hoping and praying up the wazoo that things are still going well!
