First appt and ultrasound
| Thu, 11-08-2012 - 12:16pm |
I had my first appointment on Tuesday (despite the crazy weather here, it was still on). I got to see the bean--measuring 2 days ahead of LMP (still keeping EDD of 6/19), strong heartbeat of 180. I go back next Friday for the actual midwife visit. I am trying for a natural water birth this time and am excited (I changed doctors and hospitals for this option). Hope everyone's appointments are going well

Yay for seeing the baby and a strong heartbeat!! That's great news.
Glad everything went well. That's a great heartbeat!
I'm so glad to hear you had a great appointment! It's so nice to see that heartbeat for the first time. Please let us know how your appointment with your midwife goes this Friday!

Yay for a strong heartbeat and good appointment! I'm looking into changing doctors and hospitals for this birth too because I want something more natural birth friendly. I planned a natural birth with dd, but it didn't happen (largely bc I went very overdue and had to be induced. boo pitocin). Anyway, I'm interviewing a mid wife in early December and if that goes well, I'll be switching. The hospital the mw delivers at has a birthing tub, so I'm excited about that. I'm not sure I actually want to give birth in the tub, but I'll definitely want to use it for pain management.
