Good initial visit at 11 weeks with barely-there symptoms

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share that I had my first prenatal visit this morning at 11 weeks. Like we read time and time again, symptoms or lack-there-of do not indicate a healthy pregnancy. Even knowing this I was very, very scared because I'd had no nausea, my boobs stopped hurting weeks ago, and in general I just didn't really feel any different. I'd been reading about miscarriages and researching online and it made me feel even worse. I had friends praying for me and was praying more than I have in years.

I had a little bit of a breakdown last night. I just knew I was going to get bad news. I'd been having dreams about the visit and the Dr. finding nothing at all.

I am so happy to report that we heard a heartbeat and saw the fetus today. My OB saw the tears in my eyes when he walked in the room, and said we could do the u/s first even before we start talking. My bladder was way full and he caught a glimpse of the heartbeat then told me to go pee and come back in. He saw a clearer picture after that.

I wanted to post this because a few weeks ago a similar story was posted and it give me hope that even though I had hardly any symptoms, terrible thoughts and feared the very worst, my appointment was positive.

I hope this can ease someone else's mind. I was excited to share this with you all tonight.

Yeah! How good does it feel to be wrong!?

I had the exact same process! My DH was out of town so I even brought along a friend to be there with me when I got the bad news. Sometimes I am the definition of "cray-cray". Anyway, it all turned out fine.

Awesome news! Thanks for sharing! Everytime I go in for an US I convince myself that I'm not pregnant because my symptoms have lessened. Just goes to show you that symptoms do not determine a healthy pregnancy.
