First OB visit...update!

Good morning ladies!!

DH and I just got back from our first OB visit for this pregnancy and everything looks good! The baby is measuring at exactly 8w 5d and my due date remains 2/22/07! The heart rate is 163bps. The doctor said everything looks really good! It was such a relief.
I go back on 8/15 for an NT scan, cervical measurement, and OB visit. This is when we will discuss the cerclage placement and make the appointment for that. I also found out today that my very own OB will do the cerclage placement and all that. That was a relief too! I already don't like doctors or being poked and prodded so I'm so happy to learn that I don't have to get to know someone new to do all those invasive procedures.
So, besides the fact that today would have been angel Austin's due date, things are starting to look up! :)
I am so glad that I have a really good reason to be happy and smiling today!

Dear Melissa,

Glad to hear that everything went well. It is so reasurring. Good to hear you are getting your OB for your cerclage placement. I always hate meeting someone new for intimate kinds of procedures. My OB did not deliver my DS. It was a doctor I had never met before. She was absolutely wonderful. I could not say enough nice things about her, but... I wish it had been my own OB. I know yesterday must have been bittersweet since it was Austin's due date. I found out I was pg a few days before my EDD in June. For me it made it easier to get through, because I had a new life to focus on. I hope the same is true for you. I hope all goes well for your next scan in August. Sigh... I hate the wait!
