I was so nervous all morning, my emotions were all over the place about what we would see. The morning went reasonably fast yet felt like it was dragging at the same time.
11am rolled around. We were sitting so quietly in the waiting room - there were a few people in there so that may have added to it but I know I was just too nervous to speak.
Firstly we spoke to the doctor about our previous blood test results. He was still really happy with them and said they rose as they expected them to do.
Next it was scan time, my date with dildo cam. And as soon as the scanner was in me, I could see a wee sac. Has he magnified it more, the heartbeat. It was pumping so much it was crazy. He turned on the sound and we could hear it clear as mud. A M A Z I N G!!!! I had tears as soon as I saw and heard it, tears of joy.
As we are still so early into the pregnancy, we are still quite small. The doctor took the measurements though and we are the right size for how far along we are. He tried to measure the HB - it was 114 BPM so in the safe range (which is over 100).
So still early days. He was very reassuring that all is looking as perfect as it should be but understood the fear given last time. Interestingly he said 90% of those who see a heartbeat early carry on... we were obviously in the 10% last time. That in mind, we have another scan next week to check the growth and that we are still tracking along nicely. He said I can have as many scan's as I need to feel reassured which was great. I think next weeks one will tell a lot though.
But for now, we are believing that our baby is perfect and will be here for the long haul.
Keep safe and strong Petrie xxx
