blood draw update

Thanks for the well wishes. The numbers from the blood draw look good for when I thought that my LMP was. Good news! I am relieved and feel better. They want to do a viability ultrasound next week and I have to say that I'm not really thinking that is a good idea. Half the time, they don't even see the heartbeat at 6 1/2 weeks anyways. The amount of anxiety wrapped up in the ultrasound itself might outweigh the reason for going. I have an appointment on August 29th for the first OB visit and I feel that is okay. Am I crazy?

Seeing as that last pregnancy I lost at 11 weeks because of a chromosonal problem, I'm not worried about spontaeous miscarriage for no reason. I feel that if I were to miscarry it would be for a reason, because the baby is incompatible with life, not my body. Grrrrrr....so many emotions and anxieties in this pregnancy that I've never had before.

On a different note, I have decided that for sure I would like to get an amnio done as early as possible. I know that without some solid evidence, I will not feel comfortable telling my 10 year old.

Thanks for listening and your positive thoughts. This is a great group of girls!!
