Ok, still keeping things quiet until about Christmas, so please keep this between you and my blog, thanks so much for understanding.
I could not ask for a better pregnancy so far, this has been so great. I have had minimal spotting and have had none what so ever since about the 3rd of November. And what I did have was so minimal that it really wasn't that concerned.
Had my first OB appointment today and everything is hunky dory, we booked the Nuchal Translucency scan for December 7th. Nuchal scan is an ultrasound the is in depth at looking at the chances for Down syndrome and/or the trisomy's. We did discuss that we wouldn't terminate the pregnancy if we did have something wrong, we just wanted to see what we were faced with.
I didn't get to hear the heartbeat at the office, she said it would be quite ambitious to hear it at 9 and a half week and that next month we will try, and I totally understood that. However, the baby is very anterior and very high, so much so that I can feel the bulge under my belly. Yesterday hubby and I were looking through the toys r us flyer and found they had a prenatal listener on sale for 30 dollars, its a cheap little microphone thing that when placed on your uterus, you can hear the babies noises, but its recommended for the 3rd trimester. Chris and I have been through the heartbeat thing tons of times, we know what it sounds like, and how to find it, so within 5 mins of having this thing out, Chris found our galloping horses (the heartbeat sounds like that). I was so relieved. Now that we know that we can hear it this early, that we can continue to use it and have some much needed relief as we go on.
Ok, so.
