Could use some T&Ps ::Update::

12wks this week and feeling a lot better so decided to dig out my Doppler and check in on baby for peace of mind. I can't find the heartbeat. I've never had a problem before so definitely freaked out. I know sometimes with bigger gals it can be harder to find (what my OB has told me in the past) but I'm a small gal, it's just never been a problem.

I called my OB and they are having me come in this afternoon to check. I'm worried because I stopped my
Progesterone at 10wks per my RE and OB as they've said you don't need to be on it longer than that anymore. In my prior 2 pregnancies I took it probably til about 13wks. Our very first pregnancy we had a missed miscarriage and that was before we knew I had a progesterone problem so I'm just getting all sorts of bad feelings. I found out right around this time with that pregnancy too.

This baby was a total surprise for us (we have a 3 and 1 yr old at home) but I would definitely be devastated. Every child is a blessing and I had really started to accept this LO and get excited and plan.

If anyone could spare some extra T&Ps this afternoon as we head to our appointment id really appreciate it!


UPDATE: baby is fine and measuring right on track! They scolded me for using a Doppler at all, nevermind that it was "SO early!" I didn't think almost 12wks was that early.. I typically feel kicks around 16wks, when should I use the Doppler then? I guess never according to them. I can see what they're saying but I know after our first loss it helped me immensely early on with my pregnancies so I am definitely greatful to have it! Anyway thank you all for thinking of us today! Here's a couple of pics of our healthy LO
