The great thing about my first appointment today was that we got to hear the heartbeat! It is amazing to hear that sound & know that there actually IS a baby in there!
The bad thing was when I went to have my blood drawn it didn't work out so well. They ended up trying both of my arms & both of my hands. I got stuck about 6 times and my hand is bruised because the guy kept digging around. A lady went in and came out right before me & DH said "See it won't take very long".... then I went in and didn't come out for 45 minutes. They are "hoping" they got enough... ugh.
Re: Heard Heartbeat & Got Blood Drawn from 4 places!
I got blood drawn today as well... they got it all from one spot... but then I got light headed, instantly drenched in sweat... and vomitted up the entire bottle of powerade I had just finished. They made me lie down for 30 min before allowing me to leave!
8 viles... fun fun
It was amazing! I was hopeful that all was okay, but at the same time I was nervous because I had not yet seen the baby/heard a heartbeat. I didn't get to listen for very long, but I think I could listen all day. Now I really want a doppler!!
You had a rough day with the blood draw! I am having more drawn next time at 16 weeks. I am hopeful that things will not be so bad the next time around!
