First Prenatal Visit today
By ShirlyWhirl » Posted Mar. 2, 2016 9:26am - 318 views - 4 comments
Well, I go to my first prenatal visit today in three and a half hours. I am very very scared. DeWayne can't make it due to work and I am even more afraid to go alone. He tells me that everything will be alright and I really want to believe him. After seeing that tear on the ultrasound last week (although the tech said it is very common) I've been on edge. I woke up yesterday with absolutely no morning sickness or any other sysmptoms. This morning is the same. I'm not as tired and I don't feel sick to my stomach. This is why I'm scared. I've been cramping but I can't tell if it is cramping cramping or gas. Weird huh? I had put on a panty liner yesterday in the afternoon because that is how badly the cramping felt and there was a pink tint on it. Now I really can't panic because I was wearing a brand new pair of pink panties yesterday, but after that only the usual brown tint (which as the tech had explained may be coming from the tear she found). But other than that, I don't think I should really worry. A huge chunk of my apprehension is from my last pregnancy last summer when I thought I was 12 weeks and when i went into the scan, it was discovered that the baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks. So here we are, 7 weeks and 5 days.....I think that is the majority of the reason why I'm feeling this way. I oh so wish DeWayne could make it today. I need his hand. Well, I have to hop off here and eat something. I will update later today hopefully with some good news in three or four hours.

 | Comment from ShirlyWhirl » Posted Mar. 2, 2016 7:33pm Hi everyone. The appointment went well I suppose. The main thing is the baby is doing well and the heartbeat is strong. The tear between the placenta and uterus has gotten slightly smaller than last week so that's good. The doc told me that he is concerned but pleased with today's scan compared to last scan. I go back in for my next scan in two weeks. Oh and morning sickness decided to rear its head again this evening lol. |

 | Comment from Starmama14 » Posted Mar. 2, 2016 10:19am I definitely know how you feel! I went into my appointment the other day feeling the same way. I had a MC back in November and was scared I'd have the u/s and the same thing would happen. I don't have a lot of symptoms this time around either and I had some very light spotting the day before my appointment. Ugh...talk about nerve wracking! I will be thinking of you - I am sure everything will be just fine :) |
