Now 13w4d PG, I had my first real prenatal appointment with the midwife. She went through the normal set of questions to get all my background information. I was a little surprised when she mentioned that pregnancy can bring out a whole lot of emotions around sexuality and to be warned if there was any history of sexual abuse etc.
At the end, she said she would try to locate the baby's heartbeat via the doppler. Well, she probably caught it for 10 seconds and then couldn't locate it again. I was feeling better since I heard it for about 30 seconds last night but she said she'd like me to get an U/S just to make sure everything was OK. Of course, I was a little worried because the requisition said 'viability' test.
My worries soon disappeared when the tech showed me my beautiful little one. Moving, hicupping, heart a beating, waving, twisting, and generally looking just perfect. Measuring exactly on target putting a great big grin on my face for the rest of the day.
