Hi ladies! I had my first prenatal appointment on Wednesday. It went fine, but was pretty uneventful. They took 5 vials of blood for a prenatal blood panel, I peed in a cup, and we talked with an OB Nurse for about 45 minutes. She went through what to expect, what to avoid, etc. It was a bit overwhelming, and we have a stack of papers to look through!!
My next appointment isn't until 12 weeks, and that one will be with the actual OB. We will get to hear the heartbeat at that appointment, but no ultrasound
I won't get an ultrasound until my 20 week appointment!!
That is SO far away. I may end up getting a private scan done at some point....
As far as symptoms, I feel pretty good... and pretty normal, which is kind of weird. I haven't had any morning sickness or nausea really. I have only had a few moments of feeling a little 'off' but nothing serious. My boobs are sore most days, and pretty hard and heavy, and I have mild cramping off and on. Other than that.... I feel great.
I am nervous and a bit anxious -- I want to know what is going on in there!! How do you know there is even anything in there??? So weird!!!
Did you guys tell people yet? We only have told our immediate family so far. I may tell my boss today.... still debating!!!
Hope you are all doing well!! Happy Friday!
