OB visit update...surprise u/s!

So I was kind of expecting a pretty dull visit--10w5d, so I thought just a weight and BP check, and get the referral for the 12-week screen. But the doctor wanted to try to hear the HB. I was pretty reluctant, as I knew it was early, and he even said "It's a little early, so we may not be able to pick it up." Well, lo and behold, we couldn't hear it, and I got really discouraged, but he said they'd just gotten a new u/s machine and he was looking for opportunities to "play with it", so we got whisked off to have our first external U/S! It was not nearly as clear as the internal I'd had at 7.5 weeks, but you could see a heartbeat, AND, he/she jumped or flipped a couple of times. So we were thrilled.

Will go for our 12-week screen (NT and bloodwork) within the next 2 weeks, and go back to the OB for a check-up July 2. Whew. Three visits down already. With our m/c, I never made it to one!

I know! I couldn't believe my good luck. Saved me a TON of anxiety. What time's your appointment, Maureen?
