First Ultrasound

Okay for some reason when I woke up today, I was feeling NOT pregnant. I let it get to me and called my doctor. I guess I just needed some reassurance. I have not suffered from extreme morning sickness as I did with my other 2 kids, so I thought something was wrong. I should just be thankful.

Anyway so they asked me to come in to do a vaginal ultrasound. They found the yolk sac right away and saw a beating heart! Amen! They also measured the heart rate and it was 128 (normal is 100-160). So again praise the Lord. I was very relieved to see the heart rate and the tiny developing life on screen and it is comforting to know that everything is okay. They also found the corpus luteum and checked out my ovaries and everything else. No sign of multiples was found. Modern medicine is truly gratifying in these circumstances.

My first appointment is scheduled for April 30 which doesn't seem so far away now that I know everything is ok.
