Well I went in for my first prenatal appointment today. Dr. B said I was still a little early, he usually doesn't see his patients until 8 weeks, but that's when the receptionist scheduled the appointment, so... Dr. B said we'll just see what we can see! So he started the ultrasound and right away, he found the gestastional sac and the yolk sac. You could see the blob that is our baby, it was sooo neat! Then we saw the best thing EVER...the heart beating! He put the sound on and you could hear it, but it kept moving so he couldn't get a consistent beat to measure, but it definitely looked steady and strong. The baby was measuring 6w1d but it's still early and that's still a great measurement. He also did a pap smear (not sure what he's looking for there). We also discussed all my future appointments and basically what I can or can't do. Dr. B is great, he basically said I can do anything I was doing before I got pregnant, other than the obvious drinking, etc.
I go back for my next 4 week appointment on July 15. In the meantime, I'm still nauseous, but I'm learning to deal with it a little better. I need to make sure I eat first thing in the morning, make sure I always have food around, especially crackers, and drink lots of water. I'll keep you guys posted on any new news...
