Just got back from US - tech said everything looked great to her. I guess the placenta may be partially covering my cervix, which she said not to worry about as it will likely move as the pregnancy progresses. Apparently it's kind of hard to see b/c my fibroids. Heartbeat sounded good at 148 bpm.

I haven't introduced myself yet, but have appreciated all of your posts. I hope to stay here for the next 9 months.
I have an almost 2yo DS, and had a natural miscarriage in August. I'm almost 5 weeks pregnant, and just got back first round of blood work, and progesterone was great. They said is was up to me whether I wanted another test this week. My confirmation appointment isn't until November 16.
Congrats and welcome here @kja2011 wishing you the very best! Good luck to all of you who have appointments this week. Can't wait to hear back your reports. Waiting anxiously for my next one on Nov 3!
Wanted to update that I finally have put together the courage to add a signature ticker. Seems dumb, but I still have the nagging feeling that anything I do to acknowledge this pregnancy is going to somehow "jinx" it. But my baby is the size of a plum goddammit and I want you all to know that!

24 weeks today - they could finally see most everything and confirm she's got all her parts. We just didn't get a good picture. Her head is basically buried in my pelvis. Nice. But she's rocking and rolling in there! Things are starting to feel more real and possible!!!

Ditto! Love this post. I feel the same about "jinxing" the pregnancy. I told several friends this weekend and after just felt awful and so worried that now that I've told some people something bad is definitely going to happen. Ugh!! Hopefully one day during this pregnancy I'll feel better so I don't look back and regret how emotionally awful I felt the whole time
Ahhh yesterday was crazy!! Dr had to leave to deliver and the office was packed. I didn't have an u/s but did get to hear hb on the doppler!! So for now we are good!
Went in just to hear the heartbeat today. We want to tell our family and friends this weekend, but I was so nervous and just needed to know that everything was ok. 13 weeks today and baby has a strong heartbeat!
Had *another* unplanned appointment today, this one because of some more light bleeding over the weekend and sharp pain on my right side. Apparently the bleeding is from a low lying placenta (will likely correct itself eventually) and the pain is from a fibroid that has started outgrow its blood supply (not dangerous, but quite painful!).
Got to hear the heartbeat, though, and it sounds perfect
Had a good 15w appointment, baby is well and snug. A bit camera shy, for the 3D photo she covered her face with her arm. Yes SHE!! I'm gonna have a daughter yaaayyyy I knew it from day one in my heart but super thrilled to find out for sure.
I had a doppler HB appt. today. HB was loud and strong. I go back in 4 weeks. Next scan around 18 weeks for the anatomy scan. The time is starting to go by a little faster or at least not dragging day by day so that's good.
@rojabonita we are only a few days off from each other! So glad your appointment went well and HB sounded good. Also good to know that you can do an anatomy scan at 18 weeks - i hit 20 weeks pretty much right on Christmas so was hoping to do it earlier.
Had my 16 week check up today. It took all of 5 mins. Listened to the little guys heartbeat and that was it. I've let my anxiety go and have embraced this as my final pregnancy. (We only want two kids.)
Had an appointment Monday; heard heartbeat and all is well. My blood pressure wasn't even off the charts the first time they took it - I think I really am starting to calm down.
We had our 16week appt the other day and everything was normal. She is growing fine. She was facing down and just wouldn't show her face. At least we got to see her feet and the rest of her tiny body!
I go back 12/4 for an ultrasound (to check viability) and my first complete exam and intake appointment. I had an us this time at 7w0d but I had a mmc at 8-9 weeks with a previous pregnancy after a good early us with heartbeat.
Some days I panic and want to call and ask them to see me right now to make sure everything is ok but I know that I'll only feel marginally better until I'm past the "danger" weeks anyway. I specifically made the appointment for 10.5 weeks because I knew I wouldn't feel much better until I passed the point of my previous miscarriages anyway. So, just over two more weeks of anxiety, stress, obsessive analysis of every twinge and ache and waking up in the middle of the night. At my next appointment, they'll make my appointment for genetic testing between 11 and 13 weeks, so I'll have something new to worry about! I wish I could be calmer because I remember my pregnancy with my son and how I could actually enjoy it a little even though I was much sicker than I am now but everything feels overshadowed by this fear of something going wrong. I'm hopeful that making it to my second trimester will give me a little relief.
I go in on November 30 at 6 weeks to check viability. I am so super nervous. I had my mc in September at 8.5 weeks but the baby measured 6.5 weeks and I knew our dates weren't off. I naturally miscarried a couple days later. That was my first pregnancy and so I've never had a positive ultrasound. If all goes well at that scan I'll have my official first appointment 2 weeks later when I'm 8 weeks. I'm a ball of nerves but trying to stay positive and choose joy
Went in today for the 16 week appointment and Doctor said everything is looking great! 4 weeks until we find out the gender! Starting to feel more excited as every day and milestone pass! Good luck with the upcoming appointments everyone.
Had first appointment 10/27. Next appointment is this Wednesday and I have been so nervous! Last pregnancy went in for first US and no baby, only gestational and yolk sac. The following week, an US with a baby measuring 8+ weeks (so weird) two weeks later went in for some pressure in my abdomen and found out baby had passed. Body didn't recognize it, so waited a week and had a D&C. Fearful of what this next appointment will bring. Want to ask them to just skip Doppler, since they took almost 20 minutes before with the Doppler without finding anything before they did US. Just want the US to confirm pregnancy is still good, heartbeat is good, and baby has grown.
Good thoughts for every one who has appointments coming up!
Stay hopeful! I had my 16week appt last week and all went well. Couldn't see her face since she kept facing down or hid her face but her heartbeat was strong at 145bpm and she was moving around Looking forward to the anatomy scan at 19/20 weeks.
Hang in there mamas!! I had a mmc between 8-9weeks and I'm happy to be pregnant every day. Feeling blessed
Tomorrow! I have a scan every week though due to being high risk after 2 losses. (MTHFR) 9 weeks as of yesterday and sickness has really started. Hope it's a good sign! Congrats everyone!
couldn't sleep last two nights and up super earlier than I have to be today because I'm so nervous about my appointment at 1030! Just so badly want everything to be ok and baby to be healthy.
