lots of stress, no nt scan yet
We arrived at my new/old OB this morning. The first problem was, I just assumed they were in the same place they were 6 years ago. The address looked similar, but when we arrived at the building, the practice nor doctors were listed on the directory. Of course I didn’t have their number with me either. Finally we arrived at the correct building, then there was more paperwork to fill out and since I still haven’t received my insurance cards, I had to call and get the information the office needed. Once we were in the back, I was very happy to see that my OB hadn’t changed still the same nice, compassionate person he was before. He doesn’t treat me like a hypochondriac or nut when I worry about losing this baby as well. He was my OB for 2 of my losses and my first daughter that was born. After doing our intial visit and going over what’s changed, he took me into a room to use the doppler. I nervously explained that I was particullary worried about this, because when I lost my other babies I was about this far along and the first time I knew something was wrong was when they couldn’t hear the heartbeat on the doppler. With the other babies I lost, I had already had ultrasounds that showed a heartbeat then something changed. With this pregnancy I’ve had 2 ultrasounds at 5 weeks and 9 weeks, but I was still worried. He couldn’t find a heartbeat on the doppler today. He told me he would send me for an ultrasound to ease my mind. So we went to the ultrasound area and waited for about an hour. Apparetnly they were running behind. Finally my OB came and got me and just took me in a room with an ancient old ultrasound. For what we needed it would work! He didn’t even try to use the tummy one, he went straight for the other. The first thing that popped up on the screen was a VERY wiggly baby! Me and my husband were so relieved and my littlest daughter was happily pointing and saying there’s my baby! Since our child was being so wiggly it was very hard to get a heart rate even with the ultrasound, but he finally pinned it down at 162. We’re right on schedule with our due date and so far everything looks good. I can breathe again. We’re going for the NT scan tomorrow at a hospital since they didn’t have a machine there for it. The best part is below, three photos of our little wiggler
