I had my first appointment yesterday  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I had my first appointment with my midwife today - more with the student than the midwife (my favourite midwife) though, as the student did all the intake paperwork (medical history, etc).

We heard the heartbeat - nice and clear at about 150 bpm !!

Blood pressure was good (110/70), and everything else checked out normal.

Last week, I'd had an early ultrasound because I'd been spotting again - I'd gotten to see the baby moving around then, but they didn't have the results from my ultrasound yet though - they said that they should get them within a day or so and will call if anything isn't "normal" otherwise I'll just see them in a months time.

Congrats on hearing the hb! Glad you had a good appt.

we had our first midwife appt yesterday too - how far along are you LizaBear? My m/w said it was probably still too early to hear the hb - i am 8w4d

the appt went well - I really liked the m/w and felt very comfortable...

That's great that you heard the heartbeat! I'm happy to hear that you're liking the midwives.

I had my 2nd appointment yesterday, I'm about 11 1/2 weeks, and we heard the heartbeat. 147 bpm. It was great. My 5 yo dd, was so excited.

Lizabear, phew what a good appointment Hearing that heartbeat after the bleeding must have been so reassuring. Bleeding is so scary. I hope that it stays away now and you can chill and enjoy the next months.

Jess. I first heard the hb loud and strong with this one at 9w6d.
