Still paranoid..

[Mumita]

Ok, here's my weekly paranoid question...
I'm 9 weeks.  I have an appointment tomorrow but no u/s tomorrow just bloodwork.  I saw the heartbeat at 6.6 weeks and it was 131bpm, so I guess that was good.  So, how can I tell everything is alright if I'm not getting a u/s?  As far as I know I don't know if I'm getting the doppler either...
Is no news good news? I don't know :(

I would ask the nurse or doc to try and find the hb with the doppler . It takes 2 minutes to do so it's not like it's going to put anyone out. I haven't had one appointment where they didn't find the hb!

Although she's moving around, and I can feel her kicks it's still so comforting to here her hb!

I think you can ask them to try and find the heartbeat w. the doppler. They couldnt find Jaxson's with a doppler until 12 weeks though which just made me worry more.. Ugh.. The stresses of pregnancy!!

Ask though and in the meantime, no news is definitely good news!! Hang in there! I know its tough and stressful!!

((huge hugs!!))

Well I have some symptoms.  Very sore bbs, tired, fatigue, peeing a ton! OMG last night I woke up like 6 times to go to the bathroom to pee, needless to say I barely slept. Some mild queasyness but no nausea (yay!).  So, I just want to see the little bub again.  I had a mc in June and I am sooo  hopeful with this pregnancy because I feel fine and I'm just hoping I don't get bad news tomorrow before Christmas at my appointment....

I would say no news is good news..... I know its hard not to worry, but as long as there is no cramping or bleeding you should be fine! Dont worry about symptoms, they come and go, get worse and get better, so as long as there is no bleeding/cramping you should be ok..... My dr did not do the doppler until i was about 12 weeks.... 9 might be a little to early.... you can ask them tho, they might try it out for ya!

I know it is hard but stop worrying. Some women don't even get an u/s until 20 weeks, I didn't with Noah. They might try and use the doppler to hear the hb but they might not since it can be hard to find earlier than 12 weeks. Your not having any cramping or bleeding so I would say the baby is doing GREAT!!!
Just relax and enjoy being pregnant :)

My doc doesn't start using the doppler until about 12 weeks either.  I mean, he would try a little earlier than that, but it can be hard to find until about then.  They may be able to find it, and then they may not.  It is just so small before then.  But by your next visit, they should def be able to hear it be doppler, so it won't be long before you hear it every visit!!!  You just never get tired of that sweet sound either :)
