March 6
Today was my monthly appointment with my regular OBGYN. It was another early morning and nothing special happening (since the 20 week ultrasound will be with the high risk doctor) so I went by myself. My doctor wasn't there this week so I saw someone else in the practice, but that was fine. She was nice as well.
They found the baby's heartbeat quickly which was a relief as always. The waiting (especially after a month of not hearing it) is always hard. Hearing it makes me feel better instantly. She asked if I'd felt movement yet and I said I was pretty sure I had. Based on my ultrasounds the placenta is in the back so she said it was very likely I was. It gave me that extra boost of confidence that movement was what I was really feeling. Now I won't second guess myself. Funnily enough after all my second guessing this evening the baby moved a lot and it was unmistakeable.
I have my 20 week ultrasound next week with the high risk doctor. If everything looks good I won't need to go back there until the stitch comes out between 36 and 37 weeks. I'll just have my appointments with my regular doctor. Everything is continuing to go well so far. Let's hope it continues.
