Taking my mind off of things

katieutley1977

Oh my ladies, I so need something to take my mind off of this baby.  I am 6 weeks today and I go on Tuesday to see if they see a h/b and i am so nervous that they won't.  My levels all seem to be good, and I feel ok, well last night I had my first "morning" sickness.  What have you guys been doing to keep busy???

I myself am trying to keep my mind off of things.  I went to the ER last week due to spotting and cramping.  I was measuring where I was supposed to be which was 5 weeks 5 days, but the ER doc said that the heartrate was low (106) and it should be in the 140s (which I think is a load of you know what).  Anyway, I go to my OB on Wednesday and just thinking of it today made me nervous.  I know she doesn't have an u/s machine in her office, but I'm going to BEG to be sent for another one.  

But for me, what helps take my mind off of things is my son.  He helps me keep my mind occupied.  I am guessing this is your first so here's what I say to myself a lot-"There's nothing I can do. It's out of my control and I'm going to love what I have growing in my stomach today because as far as I know, everything is OK!"   Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I had my u/s right at 6 weeks and the baby's heartrate was 106ish and the nurse and dr said that was fine.  The heart has just started and the heartrate can be low.  I had my 10 week appt a 1.5 weeks ago and the dr found the heartrate with the doppler and said it sounded good.  I did not ask the rate.  So don't worry about the heartrate.
