We saw the heartbeat today!!


I feel so much better now. I didn't sleep at all last night because I was so worried about a blighted ovum, or no heartbeat but a baby, or I don't know what.
I never ever worried with my other 2 about this! : WTH?!

Unfortunately in this small ass town, my MIL told me this afternoon that she saw us go into the OB's office. I told her that we were out running errands and voting and whatnot and I forgot that I had to get another pap smear so we ran in there to get that done.
Yeah, she's not going to buy it for long. She knows that I had quit smoking and one of the boys said something about prenatals. I told her that I just finally decided to do all of this to make myself feel better. I've been taking the prenatals for months and I had really slowed smoking down because I knew that it directly affected fertility.


Also told my midwife my plans are right on track to have a homebirth and she wasn't the most supportive, but that's okay. She's just worried that her insurance will get taken from her for knowing about it. :

Oh, so you're not confused, I am using a different midwife for my homebirth, but I went to my old one and OB today for the u/s and first stuff.

They want me back on the 21st so that they can do another u/s because the baby was too small to measure this time. He also said that he knew that I would feel more comfortable seeing the heartbeat really really beat since today was just a fluttering, but it was still there!
I haven't decided if I'll get the one in 2 weeks or not.

Anyway.... we saw the heartbeat!! Woohoo!!

Awesome! I probably won't see my midwife for another month at least - I hope to get in to see her and maybe hear the heartbeat before X-mas (we heard the heartbeat at 10 wks last time).

Yay for you.

FWIW, I seem to be WAY more obsessed with KNOWING all is OK in there this time. I remember the first trimester was anxious with my other two, but this is by far the worst. No clue why.

Yay! How fun.

I'm also quite a bit more paranoid this time, for some reason. Or maybe I just don't remember my paranoia well.

I'm thinking it might be just like the pain of childbirth. We block it out of our minds as soon as we pass on to the next stage.
