First ultrasound today (warning)

I have been so anxious for the past few days, terrified to get bad news at my ultrasound today. In fact, I even attributed the nausea I have had the last couple of days to anxiety, not pregnancy. Alternately, I have been worried about the risks of a twin pregnancy. My birthday is this weekend and i wouldn't let anyone mention it or ask me what i wanted, because clearly asking for a gift card for maternity clothes would jinx it. So I have totally been a delight to be around this week, as you can imagine. Fortunately, our ultrasound this morning (6w2d) revealed a gestational sack that measured 6w5d, a yolk sac, and an embryo measuring 6w2d. Not only were we able to see the heartbeat, but we were also able to hear it. Nice strong heartbeat of 125 bpm. I am relieved and feel cautiously optimistic, though I am certain that the anxiety will build again before the next ultrasound on June 2. I get to stay with my RE until 10 weeks.

    Awesome! I'm staying with my RE until 8 weeks, then I get "kicked" out, by his own words lol. I really understand the anxiety, I've been having it too. Hopefully it will go away for both of us! And have a happy birthday, your family is growing!!
