First appointment update!

I had my first appointment with my OB yesterday. We didn't do an ultrasound because she said it was possible we might not see anything although everything was fine and she didn't want to needlessly freak either one of us out. She measured my uterus at six to eight weeks in size, which is on target since I am seven weeks today. She was also encouraged that my symptoms are increasing -- boobs got sore this past weekend, I'm a little nauseous, and I am definitely a LOT more tired.

Also, the nurse did the pregnancy test in front of me and it was so positive that the said said "Whoa! Don't need to wait on that one!" LOL!

We scheduled an ultrasound for May 3 along with my next appointment so hopefully we'll see a little bean in three weeks! I feel much better but I'll feel great after we see a baby on ultrasound.

Karyn, I'm sorry you weren't able to have an ultrasound, but I'm really glad the appointment went well. I hope the next 3 weeks go by quickly for you. Seeing your little one for the first time will be such a happy day for you!

My obs office doesn't generally do the first u/s before 10 wks for the exact same reason.
