I had my "nurse" appt today. So nothing too exciting happened. She was really nice and compassionate.

My next perinatolgy app't isn't until 10/12 and she asked if I was ok to wait until then to see the regular OB, I said if we could hear the hb today I would be otherwise not really. I asked her to try with the doppler for me and she did (Itoldher I know it's early and I wouldn't freak out if she didn't find it).

Unfortunately she didn't find the hb, but I am only 9wks and I have a severely tilted uterus, so I am not freaking out about that...the good thing is she scheduled me an u/s basically for piece of mind. So I get to go back on Thursday to see what's cooking inside. She did say she heard the "windy city" on the doppler, which is the blood vessels in the placenta and a sign that things are ok....and we oth though we heard it the baby for about 2 beats, but weren't sure.

So since I saw the hb at 6wks, feel sick, tired and sore bbs still, and have a windy uterus...I am feeling pretty good today.

I tell yeah it's amazing how obsessed you can become with this stuff!

So glad you had such a wonderful nurse who was willing to try the doppler to ease your mind, even if you were just able to hear the "windy city"!

Julie,


What a great appointment that you had with your nurse! I know that having an ultra sound can really calm you down!!


You have a few more weeks and then you are out of the 1st trimester!!


WOO HOO!@

Update! I heard the HB! When I got home from work last night my babybeat came in the mail. I tried twice that night with no luck. Then this morning I woke up so upset thinking things were going bad, so I went and I tried it again before work AND I FOUND IT!! I didn't get to count the rate, but I for sure heard it and so did DH! I feel so much better. I was starting to become terrified of going to the u/s on Thursday. All I can say is PHEW!
