First Prenatal Appointment and 8 Week Ultrasound
By loopygrl » Posted May. 31, 2016 9:28am - 414 views - 0 comments
I had my first prenatal appointment and 8 week scan yesterday and I couldn’t be happier!! Not saying that there will not be plenty of worrying in my future but something about seeing that first heartbeat and getting confirmation that everything is just as it should be takes a huge weight off of me. Doctor confirmed that we are measuring exactly 8 weeks and my EDD is indeed December 25th, 2016.
My husband is over the moon about seeing our little bean. Up to this point he had been curious about pregnancy in general and all that goes with it, but I don’t think it hit home until the morning of my appointment. He told me that he was very anxious all morning, a little from nervousness and a little from excitement. It was good to know that I wasn’t alone in that, but I am also kind of glad that he kept it to himself to this point because I think his anxiety might have just fed and validated my own.
My Mom is dying to tell the world even though I would kind of like to keep it private (just family and close friends) for a little while longer. I just have this irrational fear that the minute everybody knows something will go wrong. But I am her baby (and only girl) and she never expected me to have a baby, so I don't know that I can deny her much longer. Not to mention this will be the first grandchild for my mother in-law and I know she's excited to tell all her friends as well. My Brother and his partner didn't find out until she was almost 11 weeks and I am almost envious that they got to skip right past the first 2 months. At her first prenatal app. she was almost 16 weeks and out of the woods. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for the adjustment period of the first trimester, just a little anxious to see what is to come. (5/16)
