F/U to not good u/s last week

I had my first OB visit today, and everything was fine. LO is actually measuring ahead, not behind. Makes me think the OB I saw last week either sucks at u/s, or didn't want to take the time to check properly. He didn't even take a measurement, just told me that there may be a HB, but probably not, and I was measuring behind for someone who should be 6 weeks (I was 6w 5d). And there was nothing I could do to stop a m/c, but they could tell me what is going on at my next appt. Not the most hopeful visit.
Today I saw the midwife who took care of me while I labored with DD, and was much, much more helpful and informative. Although, is anyone else's midwife a little cooky? She held up a mirror and showed me my cervix when she had the speculum inserted. Of course I looked, but she totally caught me off guard.

Re: F/U to not good u/s last week
So glad you got good news!!
And I think I would have kicked the midwife for d!cking around with a damn mirror while I'm laying on the table.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Ha- you made me horse-laugh. I am soooo not one of those ladies that wants a mirror during delivery, and it never even occurred to me that she would whip one out while doing a pap.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Glad to hear everything is looking good!
When you first mentioned a mirror - I was like seriously?!?! Then I thought, I actually wouldn't mind knowing what things actually look like down there and have a professional actually show you.
From the other PP's, it appears I might be in the minority...
So glad you're back on track - it's amazing wha a week will do.
and hold the Phone, she showed you your cervix?!??? Yeah.... many people have looked up my vagina and I've never seen that. Some things are still best kept as a mystery.

Congratulations to good news and ewww to your midwife.
FWIW, I'm with you, the science-y curious side of me totally wants to see what my cervix looks like. I mean shoot, until I came across that website The Beautiful Cervix Project I had no idea what a cervix even looks like, it just made me wonder how mine compares. But then I've always loved science and nature shows, the more in-depth and detailed the better, and nothing really ever grosses me out. Just always really curious about how things work! lol

I would have literally fainted. I am very squeamish with that stuff (yes I know it's my own body, but I can't help it).
