1st Doctor Visit!

These appointments at first are usually pretty uneventful. So not much to report...I got in there, laid on the table and they went on the search for the heartbeat. Of course Kezzie was by my side the whole time scared to death, holding my hand. She is such a good support person!! Brian was there too which was nice. The first nurse gave it her best but she couldn't find the heartbeat. There was an area near my belly button that was really really tender so she couldn't move the wand in that area. I was starting to get concerned when she had to go get another nurse to come try her best at finding the heartbeat. After a long 10-15 minutes, the second nurse found it. It was at a quick rate of 166 and very low into my pelvic area. Whew...I was getting really scared for a minute! I changed into a gown and the doc came in. She checked me all over and felt around the tender spot on my stomach but by this time I had been up moving around to get changed so I didn't feel any pain at all. The doctor said it must have been a pulled ligament which is really common. All the ligaments are being pulled at this time! She said everything was wonderful-weight, diet, my uterus is perfect, etc. She has me at a little over 12 weeks! She did mention that I may be induced a week early this time to ensure I get to the hospital on time being that I was only at the hospital with Keziah for 20 minutes before she was born! We'll see what happens...I'm not too crazy about that idea! More to report in another 4 weeks. In 8 weeks we have our ultrasound! Can't wait!
