Hello all,
I am in my 10th week and had my first prenatal visit yesterday. When they tried to find the baby's heartbeat, they could not find it. That was a little unnerving but they thought it was because my uterus tips backwards and that makes the baby's position "deeper" in my body so the surface monitor cannot pick up the heart beat. Just to be on the safe side, my midwife sent me for an ultrasound today to be sure everything was okay. Well, all I can say is "WOW"--I am so amazed at what I saw. The baby is fine and has a heart beat and the little bugger was so active (or so it seemed). It looked like it was bee-bopping around in its little house having a grand old time. It would raise its little arm buds every so often and turn its little head. Now, I can feel like this is for real. For the past weeks, I have been walking around feeling nauseated and tired but that was it. No real changes in my body--I'm not showing yet and I have not gained any weight so it all seemed so unreal. Now I have pictures and everything. I thought i was going to cry when I saw the ultrasound! Now I am really excited! Just had to share! Thanks for listening.
