Erg! more waiting....

mdevine06

Well I had my first official prenatal physical today....was hoping for an US, but apparently the doctor gets to do that in two weeks....so just a little more waiting for that precious heartbeat!  On the upside, I'm banking that my LO will look way more cuter on the US than it would have today....it may actually look human and wiggle!  so I'm going to stay positive

Today, I met with the nurse practitioner, who was awesome.  I became so emotional just waiting in the exam room I started to cry and was crying when she walked in!  I'm sure she's used to the emotional roller coaster, but I'm not!  She did say my uterus felt 7-8 weeks, which is right on target with my dating....but dang it if I can't get a medical professional to cough up an EDD until whenever they do the US...erg

Here's to another 2 weeks...

UGH! The waiting sucks!!! I went for my confirmation appt on 4/10 and I finally get to go for an u/s on Wednesday. I cannot wait! I hope your 2 weeks fly by!! Try to keep your positive attitude!

I almost cried reading your post. I want an ultra sound so bad. My first appointment is next week at my 7 week mark. If they don't give me one I might cry, and either way I might cry. haha! I am a freaking mess already. 

You will have a great experience in 2 weeks, and you'll be happy you had to wait!! Good luck!

I have to wait until week 9 to see my Dr. so there better be an u/s or i might explode.

 I should probably call them to see if there will be one or not.

You know, strangely enough, I was comforted to know that the nurse practitioner could tell my uterus was 7-8 weeks -- at least something is going on in there! (besides the bloating, etc).  It felt validating somehow...like it's not all in my head    ...and I say if tears help get the US, go for it!!!!

LOL I think tears could work, but I definitely don't think I will be the first pregnant woman having an emotional breakdown in their office. I've been crying at commercials already - I think it's a guarantee I am going to be a basketcase by next week!

 In all reality, you are right that the validation from the nurse practitioner is a big deal. I will be happy to know this isn't all in my head, and that things are on track!

I'm so eager too, I feel so much support because I see that I'm not the only one that hasn't gotten an U/S.  I'm quite curious because I did have some spotting not too long ago.  My husband is hoping to hear a heartbeat...I believe I'll be about 9 to 10 weeks by the time my appointment comes around, May 18th.

I am in the same boat as you are!  I HATE waiting and so I am going crazy.  I have an appointment tomorrow (8 weeks I think) and wanted an u/s soooo bad.  I called the office and nope they are just setting up my chart.  Hopefully it wont be to long until I get into the doc to get an u/s.  So glad I'm not the only one going crazy waiting.
