12-13 week check up

Appt went well. Doctor tried using the Doppler and couldn't find the heartbeat so instantly I worried, so we got an ultrasound. Baby is doing fine!! Heart rate 167. Couldn't get a good view since they were laying on their belly.
Guess it was a good thing I didn't spend money on a doppler because I probably wouldn't be able to find the heartbeat myself.

He said my chance of m/c is less than 1% but I still feel like I worry at times. Did any of you hit a point where you felt good about it and could relax?

Another positive note is the OB went and put in diagnosis for me to have my 20 wk ultrasound covered!! :) Next checkup is Feb 14th then 20 week scan March 13th!!!!

    Morning sickness has improved a ton. Last night I was close to hurling(kinda wish I would've) but the B6 and unisom took care of it within 30 mins. I still don't eat much outside of strawberries, pears, green apples, pickles and yogurt. Meat in general makes me wanna hurl. I try to eat it like 1-2 times a week because I know I need the protein. I've dropped almost 30 pounds but doc said the baby is doing fine so just eat when I can and what I can.

    I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling so well. Hopefully the medication gives you some relief.

    Yes we will be finding out the sex.

    I am so glad things are going well for you. Couldn't have a better Valentines present then the one you are carrying! It would be great to hear that heartbeat on your Valentine's Day appointment! What's your due date again?

    July 27th or 29th. I can't even remember. I keep measuring ahead a few days each time and I can't remember if my OB changed my due date or not. I seem to be forgetting a ton lately or losing everything lol

    That totally happened with me with the Doppler around the same time. I went in for spotting and the first thing they tried was the Doppler and nothing ... it was terrifying!! Then.. u/s showed a perfect baby and I'm holding him right now. The point I FINALLY felt better was around 18 weeks when I could start feeling him moving everyday. And the moving got more and more instense as he got bigger. A kick was always reassuring. So, you're almost there. Then 24 weeks, viability brought more reassurance and every week from there felt "safer" and safer. Hang in there mama!!

    I know this is probably not exactly what you want to hear....but I always worried about my little one up until she was in my arms. Even immediately after she was pulled out(I had a c-section) I asked if she was ok because I hadn't heard her cry yet. I think you have to try and trust that the chance of anything bad happening after 12 weeks is very small. I always found comfort after I could feel my baby moving and looking at my apps to see how big she was each week.

    That's an amazing picture of the baby! Such detail. Mine were all blobby and mysterious looking. :p

    I never stopped worrying until after delivery either, but I'm older and had a slightly bumpy pregnancy/delivery. But it helps a ton once you can feel them kicking, so you will soon have that reassurance!

    May the rest of your pregnancy be a smooth ride. :)
    The best is yet to come! :)
