Over the last weekend, I felt like I was having some strange symptoms and I thought something might be wrong with the pregnancy. I know how I get, so I knew better then to research my symptoms online. I was really worried I was having a miscarriage, a major concern of mine. So on Monday, I call my ob office and told the nurse what was going on, which she didn't seem the least bit concerned about. She pretty much said I should just wait it out. Are you kidding me?! Wait it out while my baby falls out? Unacceptable. That only made me mad. So a few hours later, I called again and told the nurse, "I'm really freaking out about it, I'd really like to come in". So, finally, they force me into the schedule because I'm having a "miscarriage".
A doctor walks in, examines me and does an ultrasound, STAT, only to find a perfectly healthy little baby with a wonderful little heart beat. I feel like such a idiot and apologized over and over again. She said it was fine and that I'm not the 1st person to do this. But I'm pretty sure my chart will be flagged: HYPOCHONDRIAC.
So, after this experience, I won't say I'm a hypochondriac, but I might have hypochondriac tendencies....scratch that, I'm just very cautious and in tuned with my body is all.
So here's a picture of an ultrasound. It's not much to look at but now our embryo has arms and legs, even little muscles. During the ultrasound it kind of looked like a little floating gummy bear. I even got to see it move around. At the end of this week, we graduate from embryo to fetus.
We still have about 4 weeks to go until the 2nd trimester, so we're not out of the woods, but everything looks good so far.
