First of all, thank you all so much. I haven't been posting much since my MMC in November, but I lurk aroung this board often when I need support and I just dont feel that friends and family can understand my fears. I just wanted to share my good news with you all because your posts have really helped me get through the last 9 weeks.
I've been expecting the worst all the way through, but this week has made everything worth it. I went for my first appointment this week (9+1), and the doctor was able to pick up the heartbeat with a doppler. Amazing My husband had to miss the appointment, so the doctor recorded the heartbeat and e-mailed it to me. I've been listening to it over and over, and I get teary every time. I had an ultrasound yesterday (9+3), and it was incredible. Seeing his tiny heart beating away so furiously and his little limbs moving made me so sad for everything I missed the first time around, but so happy and relieved at the same time. Last time my baby died around 10 weeks, so I still have a lot of anxiety about the next few weeks, but this has really given me the strength and hope I need to get through it.
Thanks again Here's my little bug:
By the way, does anyone know what the numbers and abbreviations on the left side of the scan pic actually mean?
