Relief

in 1st Trimester

So, two weeks ago I went to the my first doctor's appointment.  I was about 9 weeks then.  They checked to see if they could find a heartbeat with the doppler but couldn't find it.  I was assured it was no big deal because it was still early and they made another appointment for two weeks later when I was 11 weeks.  I went back for that appointment today to find that they could not find a heartbeat.  I was devastated despite my doctor's reassurance.  They told me I had to wait to get an ultrasound until tomorrow because the technition was out.  I left scared and upset.  After having lunch with my husband and talking it over I decided I could not wait for an ultrasound, I need peace of mind now.  I called my doctor and told them my feelings and they sent me to the hospital for an ultrasound.  I went and low and behold I am not 11 weeks I am 8 weeks and four days.  There was a beautiful healthy baby with a heartbeat in my belly!  It was the most incredible feeling ever to see this beautiful being.  I can't describe the relief and happiness my husband and I felt when we saw our bean and heard that heartbeat.  So now, instead of being due February 24th my baby is expected to arrive March 12th.  Better later than never!

    Well the original due date was based off my last period but that period was on birth control.  I got pregnant as soon as I got off the pill but ovulated later than the 14 day standard.  So, everything was based off my last period, I had a feeling I may have been a week later but not almost three.  So, it's actually my fault my due date was off because we didn't want to have unprotected sex until my cycles regulated.

    Not wierd at all. If I based mine off my last period I am about 12 weeks. I am actually only 7 weeks today. Basing it off your last period is not exact science and there are lots of us who are not regular or had different circumstances like you :c) Glad you got to see your little one though.

    YAY!  March is a good month for babies I think.  March has very bad weather in Kentucky and is very boring.  So having a baby during this month will make it a wonderful time of year! :)  It is wierd to have your due date change because now I feel like I am repeating weeks already thought I completed.  Oh well, I'll take this over a sick baby any day.
