Mrs Duck, thinking of you today (for you, it's still "yesterday" for me right now!) I hope it goes well and that you get good news. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks ladies for the PMA and thoughts/good wishes, it must have worked. Baby is just fine... my uterus felt good/correct for my gestation, cervix was closed and there was no sign of bleeding/etc, my urine didn't show positive for bacteria in the dip stick but they are sending it for a 48 hour culture just to be sure. They think it is definitely bladder related (when she did my internal she put pressure on it and that is when I felt the feeling/discomfort.) They are just unsure if it is the start of a UTI or just a cranky bladder from baby/etc. (I have had several UTIs in my time and since the worst one (which turned into a severe kidney infection) my bladder tends to get pissed sometimes... I am sure a baby sitting on top of it doesn't make it too happy!) If the culture comes back positive or my symptoms get worse before the culture comes back they will put me on antibiotics, otherwise I am okay.
The best part of the appointment was... I got to hear baby's heartbeat!!!! I had seen it on an ultrasound at 7 weeks but I had yet to hear it... it was the most beautiful sound and baby had a good strong heartbeat! :happy dance:
After my appointment the realtor and I went and looked at a bunch of houses and there are a few I definitely was interested in... now my husband just needs to see them.
So it was a nervous start to the day but then a very very good day!
Thanks again for all the PMA, maybe my baby's strong heartbeat today will bring some more luck back into the thread!
