Saw the heart beat!

What a cool, cool moment. I don't think I was prepared for how overwhelming it would be!

My only sadness from my first appointment is that I won't be able to use the midwife. With my history of PCOS and thyroid issues, coupled with the fact that we conceived with an RE's assistance, she wasn't comfortable that I would remain a low risk pregnancy and wanted me to work with the doctors right away. I was a little irritated that they let me even have my first visit with her - they knew all this before I walked in the door. Oh well.

Yay!! It is such an awesome moment

Sorry you have to change offices, do you have an OB? (if you need a referral I really liked mine...wait that might not work, aren't you moving?)

Hearing the heartbeat is just as fun. I could hear it at 9 weeks (and change) with my home doppler. I highly recommend the Sonoline B.

I did in DSM, but I'm in IC now. It's tough, I don't know anyone in the area with kids to get referrals from!

I have 2 friends who had babies within the last couple of months. Would you like me to ask them for a referral? They both delivered in IC, one at Mercy and one at the University hospital. Or are you closer to CR?

I'll try to remember to check back here but you may want to PM me just in case - I only check in on this board when I'm bored and want to see if any mommies are talking about anything interesting.

ETA: That's really exciting about the heartbeat

Congrats!

Isn't seeing that little flicker on the screen the coolest thing ever? I think I sobbed like a baby the first time we saw it with each child, LOL.
