1st OB appt! we still have a monkey!

KiKiGee

I haven't posted in a while... since we lost a twin a few weeks ago I've just been REALLY nervous... it just really impacted my ability to enjoy anything about the process, at every turn I was worried, since i had NO CLUE that we'd lost a twin, I figured that nothing, no symptoms or feelings were "safe" or an indicator that everything was OK, KWIM?  My RE had released me and I had to wait until today to meet my OB (I used the nurse prac in the practice for GYN and love her dearly).  So the last few days I've been kind of a wreck, expecting the bad news all over, BUT:  YAY!  The monkey is still there!!! Dancing around!! S/He is even measuring ahead!  YAY!!!!! I can't tell you how utterly and completely relieved I am.  I know at 12w there's still a long road ahead, but I just had to share how happy I am to have seen the little monkey!! Also, the OB is AMAZING.  We love him.

NT with the peri on Tues... so I'm sure after this euphoria wears off I'll be freaked out again... sigh... does it ever end?

Congrats!  It will be strange not to have the frequent u/s.  I think that was one of my biggest adjustments.  The frequent u/s were reassuring.  I still worry in between OB appointments because I still don't feel him moving really so I wonder if he's still OK.

Glad your appt went so well.  I honestly don't know if the worry ever ends but I hear is just gets less and less as time goes by.

I totally understand your feelings as I had no clue we had lost our twins when we did. 

I promise appointments get better - I think once I started to feel her move I really felt much better about actually bringing home a baby.

Good luck and I'll be thinking about you!!

So happy for you!!!  I agree about the euphoria - it is just such an amazing feeling to see there is still someone thriving in there   Try to keep that feeling as long as you can. 

For me, the worries start coming back before appointments, and randomly throughout the waiting period... but as time goes by it gets easier and easier to get used to the idea of a baby

I'm so happy to see you posting, I was wondering about you!  Take care.

It's so good to hear from you, and I am so glad to hear that you have a little monkey dancing around in there

I wish I could tell you that the worry goes away, but I still have my moments of doubt. Maybe it will get better when we can finally feel movement in there. That's what I am hoping.

Making it to 12 weeks is a huge milestone! Congratulations!
