Have a Heartbeat (Update)

Hello Everyone,
Had my second appointment and u/s this morning and the dr said "Everything is fine." I could hardly believe my ears! I nearly started to cry right there, good thing I was laying back in the chair or I'm sure I would have fallen over. As it was, I was shaking while I got dressed. I had myself so worked up last night all I could dream about was going to hospitals, sitting in waiting rooms, and hearing horrible news from random doctors. The relief was a hot emotional rush.
This time my gestational sac and baby are right on tarket for our developmental week. Gone are my worries that our little bean is undersized. Dr also said he saw the heartbeat. What! I was shocked he didn't say anything during the exam. Of course this is Japan and things are done differently- all examines include a modesty curtian so doctor and patient don't see each other face to face during "the procedure". The curtain keeps us from viewing the monitor. DH wants to rip open the curtain next visit so we'll ask permission before our next appointment on the 9th. Always interesting dealing with cultural differences.
Anyway, this is also an update from the Advice posted discussion "Panic (Discharge???). I had been experiencing a yellow discharge off and on the past week and half. Well, dr explained it all fell within the realm of normalcy for pg women and I should not worry. Pains on my upper right back and side were due to constipation. Whew! I can deal with constipation. Bring on those prunes. Sorry if TMI.
Realizing this has become a short essay. Just wanted to announce to the world my joy. And confess my never ending fear. Next visit our little bean will be almost 10wks and past the point our last little one's heart stopped beating. I don't know how I'll keep myself sane in the next two weeks- another milestone on the horizon- but I'll do my best.
Best wishes to you all for happy appointments, beating hearts, and sticky baby vibes!!!
Hugs,
Capri
