First Ultrasound. . good news

We saw the heartbeat!! This is the 1st time DH & I have seen a heartbeat :-) I told my DH on the car ride to the drs, I'm either gonna be crying or really crying. . .glad it was just the plain old crying!! Baby is measuring at 6W4D, which is a couple days behind, but the dr. said everything looks good and he's keeping my EDD at 8/24. The heartrate was 128. A big sigh of relief, one small hurdle at a time. . .

My big question to you girls. . .we are leaving for Florida next Friday (driving from CT). My dr. said I could come in the day before we leave (11th) or when we get back (22nd). I am so torn what to do! I would like the reassurance that everything is still good before we leave, but what about the "what ifs" ?? I'm trying to stay positive here, and figure out the best way to enjoy our vacation. What would you do?

Nicole H - thanks for asking about me!

Yay Deb!!! I am so happy to hear this good news. Keep it coming!!!

I think if I were you, I'd do the appt. on the 11th. So you can enjoy your trip with no worries.

Hugs,
Nicole

Congrats on the heartbeat! I would go in before so you can rest easier on vacation. I always like the US esp early ones to make sure all is still growing well.

Deb,


I am so happy to hear that your appointment went so well and you have a little fighter in there! As for the doctor appointment I would see if it is first possible to come in on both days and if it is not then I would go in after you return. Hoping that he will let you come in on both days!
