Appointment Tomorrow

[bmwbrandi2005]

New Ob DR called last Friday to say they scheduled me an appointment for tomorrow, Tuesday 23rd! I am really nervous ... I just hope and pray everything is ok with this baby... I was really hoping to be able to SEE a heartbeat when I went in for my first visit... guess I wasn't expecting them to see me so soon- because when I called at first to make an appointment- they told me it would be mid February before they could see me... then I explained to the receptionist that I was really scared and hoping to be a little sooner than that because of my daughter being stillborn only 10 months ago ... and she said that she would try to get me in ASAP... but I was not expecting it to be *that* soon. I think I will be 5 weeks PG tomorrow.... so I'm pretty sure that's probably too early to see the heartbeat... I'm just praying everything looks ok! I have written a page of questions to ask my new DR...
#1.... I still have the lump in my breast- and I am still concerned about that
#2.... Will I need more tests done to confirm that there is nothing else wrong that could harm the baby... bloodclotting .... any other possible issues...
#3.... Will I be able to have an ultrasound every month to be sure this baby is OK
ok I have alot of other questions so I won't post them all....

just hoping that you girls will say a little prayer for us....
my appointment is at 10:15 am tomorrow... so I'll post more when I get home tomorrow.... lord please let this baby be OK!!!!

Everything will be fine I'm sure Brandi, but best of luck tomorrow. Just remember that this is a completely different pregnancy than yours with Emily, and you will have your happy ending!!

Well... my new OB is a little weird... but she's nice I guess. She's very blunt, but I like to hear the truth without all the sugar coating- and that's exactly how she tells it. She said everything *looked* ok... ... but we could not see a heartbeat when she did the ultrasound. I explained to her that I did not ovulate until cd 19 of my cycle- so I didn't think I was as far along as they had initially told me I was- they had me being almost 6 weeks by the date of my last period... but I am actually only 5 weeks pg today. Then she did the vaginal ultrasound... and we could see the gestational sack- and the start of a fetal pole (?) and the start of a yolk sack... but no heartbeat... ... I was starting to get worried... then she asked me when *I thought* I had ovulated- and I told her--- and she said that the ultrasound corresponds with that- and that it would be too early to see a heartbeat. I am still scared though... ... she did do a beta and she said I will have to go back Thursday 25th for another to see what the numbers are doing. And she said that I will have to go back next Tuesday for another ultrasound- and that more than likely if I am not going to miscarry then we *should* see a heartbeat... ... I didn't like the way that sounded. But she said she was just being honest with me. She said it didn't look like I would miscarry because everything looks ok- cervix is closed and looks healthy... and I have no cramping at all or no spotting... ... but I am still sooooo worried. I could tell Bob (my fiancee) knew I was upset... he kept squeezing my hand and telling me everything will be ok. But I don't believe it... I won't believe it... at least until I can see that little flutter . My Dr said that she normally doesn't like do ultrasounds this early because it leaves so much to wonder about until we can see the progression of the baby when I'm a little further... but she wanted to help ease my mind- and was hoping it would be early enough. She seems like she really *cares* and really wants to help me in any way she can. I am happy that she is so understanding- and I was really impressed that she offered to do the betas and have me back in a week for another ultrasound... I think she will turn out to be a good Dr for us. lets just hope this little one sticks around long enough for us to find out. ... I'm gonna be a nervous wreck til Tuesday! I'll find out the results from today's beta tomorrow morning- so I'll update tomorrow when I get home from work. thanks for listening to me ramble... I sure hope everything will be ok

brandi, hon, the u/s tech told me that she normally doesn't see a hb until at least 6 wks....at the earliest! so, no worries....your little baby is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing - setting up shop for the long haul!

can't wait to hear your betas, and next tues will get here SOON for that repeat u/s where you WILL see your baby's hb, and know all is well.

big hugs hon!
