First Appointment today.

LittleLotero

so I had my first appointment today with my midwive team, and it turns out that I am am in fact pregnant... I mean the 12+ tests I took didn't confirm it for me in the least. B-)

Today I am 6w2d and my midwife did a pelvic exam to feel my cervix to rule out an ectopic pregnancy among other things. She said mine was a nice size (whatever that means). lol

Even though this is my second, it's been 5 years since I've given birth and this appointment was really not that "exciting". I peed in a cup and practically had to beg her to let me come back next week for an ultrasound. I plan on telling my dad while we are on vacation at his house in Florida over the 4th of July - but in wouldn't dare tell him without visual confirmation on my end.

I was totally bummed that I didn't have an ultrasound today, but I KNOW I'm super early still and next week I have a greater chance of seeing that little heartbeat.

She also suggested that I take the DHA supplement with my prenatal vitamin, which I was taking in the first place when I was taking the Target brand - then I switched to an Rx because it was cheaper. Fail.

I just had to tell someone, I'm about to explode with happiness!

Yea for being pregnant! Glad it went well. I know what you mean about the ultrasound. My first appt is tomorrow and I am REALLY hoping there is an ultrasound.

I had my first appointment today too!  I originally thought I was 7w5d today but it turns out I am 6w5d.....since I have had two MC's in the last year my doctor considers me a "high risk" pregnancy so I am taking a TON of vitamins and progesterone this time around to help with everything.  We got every test under the sun done today and I was so overwhelmed with joy when we saw the US and saw the heart beat and heard it!  We never got this far in our last two pregnancies so I am floating on cloud 9!  I do know a lot of times doctors prefer to wait until you are farther along to get an US but either way I am sharing the awesome joy with you!

Congrats and hoping that your US next week is amazing!!!!

My first appointment was today too. I was 7 weeks 4 based on my last period but she re-dated me 6 weeks 4 days. All seemed good and we did do an ultrasound. Honestly I wasn't as moved as I thought I would be. The baby was just so small. I sort of felt like Rachel from friends when she couldn't see her baby on the ultrasound. Because I was earlier than they thought we have to do it all over again in 2 weeks.

I'm happy to hear your appointment went well! I'm glad they are letting you come back for an ultrasound too

Congratulations! I have my first appt on the 30th and I'm very anxious about what all we're going to do. I am supposedly 6 w 1 d today and will be 8 w 1 d by the time I go to my appt. Hoping to get a picture so it can finally start sinking in that this is real!! Very glad you had a good appt though!
