4/17/12 6w5d preggers! u/s update!
So I went to my u/s today and everything was great! I had a vaginal u/s done first and she could barely see the gestational sac cause my uterus was sitting very high up so she had to do an u/s on top and we got to see bean... or in my case beaner lol. It's so small and looks like a macaroni noodle. I was so relieved to see the baby! Baby is measuring right on track with my cycle and I got to see/hear the heartbeat on the u/s. Of course I did cry a little bit and the u/s tech told me to be still so she could monitor the heartbeat which was 124bpm which is a very good heartbeat considering how far along I am. It felt very surreal I was like is that baby really in there??? I guess so :D. The Dr. informed me that after you see and hear the heartbeat on an u/s that the m/c rate drops from being 15-20% down to 5-8% so that's a plus! And once I hit 13 weeks it drops down to 1-2%. So now it's just a waiting game to get passed the first trimester. And there is just ONE baby in there! Everybody was telling me I would have multiples. Nope, just one little healthy bean. My next appt is May 3 and that's my first official ob appt where they do blood work, pelvic exam, medical history, another u/s, etc.:D So excited.
So the pregnancy symptoms are still the same... not too much nausea today, mostly just gagging like my gag reflexes were turned all the way up. Some back pain here and there, hunger, thirst, mild cramps, fatigue, FREQUENT urination! I've been getting up 3-4 times a night to go pee and it doesn't matter what I drink during the day... let it be milk, water, juice, soda... ANYTHING I drink makes me go pee like a race horse! LOL. That's all for now... still crossing my fingers and counting my blessings!
