Hi Ladies!


Sorry for the delay in updating! I was so tired when I got home last night I just wanted to go to bed. We had our 3rd u/s yesterday and everything went great! It was soooo amazing! We could see the baby's head, and tummy, and little arms and legs, it was wonderful. We also got to see the baby squirming about - it was so cute! The heartbeat was at 176bpm so I guess that is good. I was really nervous when we got there, but my dh saw the heartbeat right away so I was like WHEW!!! The u/s tech said that seeing the baby and hearing a nice strong heartbeat at 9w5d (I was actually 9w6d, but baby only measured 9w5d) was a really great start and good sign. She said that it is really good so I felt alot better.


We dont go back to see our Dr till 03/07/06 and that is just a follow up and u/s to check cervial length so I dont know if we will see our baby or not, but it sure was great to see him or her yesterday!


Thanks so much to all who applied to my P&PT post - I was so scared! Your kinds words made me feel much better as always!


Hugs!

That is such great news!!! Baby "A" had the same hb at our last appt!!! I was 8w 2d. It is so cool to watch how much they change in the first 12 weeks!!! Just think in 2 more weeks you will ahve a fully developed baby that just needs to grow!!! That is the coolest thing in the whole world!!! Why arethey checking your cervix??? I had IC with my las pg and lost the baby at 17 weeks and never had anyone check my vcervix before, of course this time they will check it a lot!!! Plus a cerclage next week!!! Good luck and I look forward to your updates!! I have been slacking on this board and want to remain close to those I joined with!!

Hi Gabi,


I know it is amazing the difference even from week to week. I am constantly amazed...I cant believe the 2nd tri is only a couple weeks away! Thank goodness....then a new phase begins....


Glad to know things are going well for you.....


They are checking my cervix because I had a colposcopy with biopsy a few years ago, and then had to have cryotherapy which my Dr said can either make your cervix lazy or really hardly closed so since there is such an extreme they want to watch it to try to prevent IC which of course I am all for! I am so sorry you had to experience your loss that way, I think Dr's should do more to prevent that. I am glad they are staying on top of everything for you this time and that you are getting your cerclage so soon....


I have kinda been slacking too and I feel the same way you do, I want to try to stay close to people here....Hopefully we can both do better!
