Finally had my first appointment with my OB since I found out I was pregnant. I have been worrying myself for almost three weeks now. My appointment was originally scheduled for last Saturday, but someone went into labor and I had to worry for five additional days. The appointment went well. I was so nervous. Based on my period, I should have been 8 weeks, 1 day. I thought I was at least 7 weeks, 5 days. The ultrasound measured the baby at 7 weeks, 2 days. Not too bad I guess. We saw the little heartbeat flickering away. It was a relief to know that there is a baby in there, and that it has a heartbeat. The worry never goes away though. Now I will worry if I can make it past 10 weeks, when I had my miscarriage.
The good news, my Dr. Smith is going to watch my blood levels closely. She put me on progesterone as a preventative measure. It is to help sustain the pregnancy and not let my hormone levels drop off. The bad news is that I don't go back for another month!! I have to wait four more weeks before I know if everything is okay. At least Dr. Smith told me the first sign of any bleeding, or severe cramping to give her a call so that she can get me in for an emergency ultrasound.
Gosh I hope everything works out with this one. I will be praying daily that God gives us the family we have been yearning for.
My new due date: May 19th.
