Had First OB appointment

[Deleted]

Is it totally lame to tell the details here? If so I will not in the future.

Anyway--Good News--baby is there, saw heartbeat & after eternity of trying finally heard it with the vag u/s. Bad News is she wants me to come back for another u/s in a week. Measuring maybe 7wks, 2days which is 6days behind & there is not much fluid. I knew she was taking a suPer long time with the U/S which is not a great sign. I will be probably induced at fullterm (36-37wks) because if my history of cholestasis. Get to see special Docs due to my old age. Anyway that is it. I'm optimistic things will be ok in a week--going back in on Thurs (earliest they could get me in). Hope this pg is not drama filled like my last.

My doc had trouble finding the baby at my first U/S with this baby too. It was scary for a minute, but he got it after turning the wand and jiggling it around a little bit.

I was also told at that U/S that it was measuring about a week behind. He is now measuring about 10 days ahead, so don't fret!

Here's hoping you have an easy and drama free pregnancy!

Definitely share! And I read all the time about first ultrasounds being wonky so try not to worry.

Congrats! Ultrasounds aren't a perfect science. Mine said my boy was bigger than my girl and he had a heart arythmia. My girl was 7 ounces bigger than my boy (twins) and a heart murmur. So try not to freak out and good luck with everything!

I missed your announcement. Congrats!

I hope your second U/S is drama free!

I am happy to hear the good news about the heartbeat. Do you think your dates could be off and thus account for the difference? I hope you get good news on Thursday.

Congrats!!! And I'm sending good vibes your way!
