I had my Dr. appointment today, and so far so good. She walked in and asked how I was feeling, I kinda shrugged my shoulders, "that good?" she asked. I told her I was feeling anxious. So she wasted no time and took out the doppler. Took her a moment, but she found Peanuts heartbeat. I started to cry. It's such a relief. I got scared yesterday that there wouldn't be one there.
The appointment didn't take long. She asked if I wanted to do some test for Down syndrome, i declined. Less is better in my opinion. My cousin had it done with her last and got a false positive, she then went for amnio. I won't accept amnio. So the Dr. told me no need to stress me. I asked if it really made any difference in the outcome, she said no, just a surprise factor if there was DS. I told her it wouldn't change a thing. The appointment was pretty much to check for the ehartbeat, and answer any questions I might have, i was so relieved that all questions can wait. The only question I had was is there a heartbeat.
