We saw a HEARTBEAT!!

**BC-RyansHope** · 08-11-2009, 10:05 AM

I started posting over on TTC after Loss/Infant-

IVF#3 (everything ment'd)

I'm 6w4d and we saw the

today! I feel some relief today from seeing the heartbeat. This whole last week it seemed like I was trying to talk myself out of it. Saying well if we dont see a heartbeat, its going to be ok. But yet the thought of not seeing a heartbeat made me cry.
I think its going to be an emotional roller coaster. I just want to make it past the level II as quickly as possible and get a clean bill of health for this baby. Just very afraid. Just waiting for the other show to drop, KWIM?

So my EDD is April 2, 2010. But I think this is going to be a March baby. I dont know why. Ryan's EDD was March 16, 2009.
Thats another thing that stings so bad, I'll be just a few weeks off with every milestone.

I'm so happy with the heartbeat today. We go back 8/20 (7w6d)which will be my last appt with the RE. (This RE normally sees you at 5,6,7,&8w) but we're going on vacation 8/22 which is why I chose to hold off a few days for the u/s. This way it'll be as close as possible to vacation and I think OB will see me within 2 weeks of that, maybe around 10-11w and then the peri does the Sequential scan at 12w. Peri's had already recommended u/s at 12, 16, 20, 24 weeks ("with additional u/s in 3rd trimester") so this baby will be very photogenic.

Melissa, I'm so so happy and excited for you and DH! Congrats on seeing that beautiful HB today! Sending you lots and lots of positive thoughts and hugs for a happy and healthy 9 mths for you and baby!!!!

Brenda/Pa · 08-11-2009, 02:43 PM

I could not wait to come check up on you!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I will continue to pray for you and DH that you have an uneventful, (quick) lol 9 months

**BC-MiracleTwins** · 08-12-2009, 07:27 AM

Oh how exciting Melissa! I am soo soo happy for you. This is going to be your rainbow baby with Ryan being the guardian angel.

With the edd being so close, I know how you feel.
I lost the 1st twins and their edd was july 23, my 2nd twins edd was jun 22. So my cycles were 4wk apart and the milestones were so hard and scary.

I will be here for you if you need to vent or even cry. Take each day and milestone slowly and know that Ryan is by your side.

Congrats and I pray for ahealthy 9mon pregnancy.

Yea Melissa! So happy for you

I had my final RE appt on 8/20. Baby "Gus" had a heartbeat of 150bpm. We also got to hear it. I cry everytime! You should have seen me when I was using my doppler on Ryan! DH would walk in and think something was wrong.

So, on vacation right now. Sat night we stayed at a hotel which was on our way to our final destination. Well Sun AM I tripped over my suitcase (the room was still dark and the legs of the suitcase were haning out) and I went flying. I fell towards the bed with my head and then rolled to the floor on my elbow and knee and then on to my back. It was like slow motion fall. I did not hit or bump or land on my belly at any point and there was no bleeding.
But I panicked anyways and spent the next 3 hours in the Yale New Haven Hosp ER.
They didnt feel I had anything to worry about because the fall was low impact. I think it terrified me more than anything. It was the first time I vomited this whole time. But giving my history, the ER docs (I had 3) had no problem doing the u/s.
Little "Gus" was perfectly fine and the heartbeat was 154bpm. That was Sun, I was 8w2d and they did an abdominal scan.
I have my regularly scheduled first OB appt the day after we get back- Mon 8/31.

Now I'm walking with my head down and watching every curb and rock. Oh and my suitcase is safely stowed away at this place.

So glad you and little Gus are AOK. Enjoy your vacation..... I know pregnancy time is different than real life- wishing it to speed along for you.....

**BC-Sherb** · 08-26-2009, 08:37 AM

Melissa, sorry about the fall but glad to hear that you and little "Gus" are absolutely fine! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
