OB appointment today!!

Hey ladies, just wanted to let  you know I went in for my actual OB appointment today. Everything seemed to go fine. We tried to hear a heartbeat, but at only 8w6d we couldnt find the little bugger. The doc says the baby was pretty active....that we couldnt find the baby through the placenta since the placenta is bigger than the baby at this point. A couple times i thought I started to hear it, then once she got my heartrate and assured me it was mine, not the baby's...BUMMER!!! Oh well, we'll get to hear it next time. Four more weeks and I get to go back.

Thank you ladies! :-)

Yah, I cant wait til the next appointment so I can hear the HB!!!

Kelly-yes, active is good. :) The ultrasound we did a couple weeks ago and it was transvaginal cause I wasnt far enough along to do a normal one. Turned out I was only 7w1d when they did it. That put me at 9 weeks today. Yay, getting closer to the 12 weeks mark. I have a decent little belly already too. Then again this is #3!! Lol!!!

Glad to hear that everything went well!  Did they do a transvaginal U/S or Doppler?  That makes a difference sometimes.......Hey, the little one was active...which means all's well!  Congrats!
