.....to stay!!! I went for my first appontment this morning with DH. Went through all the family history and all that other good stuff. Then it came down to the fun part...getting to hear the baby's heartbeat. The nurse tried and tried for about 10 minutes before she finally told me that it may be a little too early to hear the hearbeat voa doppler. Needless to say, I was very dissappointment and worried. I joked with her about finding an excuse to do an ultrasound. She knew my history with the loss. She looked at me and asked if it would make me feel better. I told her that I would be worried all weekend if I didn't have it. She looked at DH (he works at this hospital and knows almost everyone personally, very small hospital) and asked if I would make him miserable if I didn't have one. He laughed and told her yes. They called down to ultrasound right away and got me an appointment at 1. After I dropped my DD off at my mom's house and told her what was going on, I went back to the hospital. They got me into a room right away and started right away. There was only one screen that faced the tech, so I couldn't see it. I just kept watching DH's face. All of a sudden the tech turned the sound up and I heard the whosh, whoosh, whoosh. You know, that sound everyone loves to hear. She was smiling when she looked at my face and told me "That's not you!" I was so relieved. Did I mention how much I love my new hospital!?!?!

Thanks for all of your posts ladies. I am so relieved that we got to hear and see the heartbeat. As soon as I heard it, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of me. I know that we are not completly out of the woods as far as a haelthy baby goes, but dosen't the risk of M/C goes down to 5% after you see/hear the heartbeat?
