I went for my fist *real* appt yesterday. I talked with the midwife for a long time and I felt really comfortable so I'll definitely be sticking with them for this baby. (The OB at the practice delivered DD via c-section three yrs ago.)

Then she did exam and said all looked OK, uterus was OK size-wise, etc. But she could not find baby's heartbeat on doppler. She mentioned that it might be a "tad early" but I'm worried anyway. I'm fat so I'm hoping that all that cushioning was a hindrance and they'll easily find it next time, which isn't for another four weeks.

At the 7 wk u/s we saw baby's heartbeat so I'm trying to find reassurance in that, but I could use some talking to in that this is OK and nothing to freak out about.

Tks,
