I was supposed to have my 12 week checkup this coming thursday on 5/3, but I went into the doctor yesterday because I felt like I was getting a bladder infection. Lynn wasn't in the office, so I saw Dr Klose. He was very nice and kind, but in a huge hurry and was too fast! He told me I didn't need to come on Thursday because everything looks good and I don't have a bladder infection after all.
He tried to hear the heart beat with the doppler, only gave it 2 seconds and couldn't hear it. So he whisked me away and did a VERY quick ultrasound... I could barely see what was going on - but apparently he saw the heart and said it looks great - took 2 pictures and told me we were done! I asked him if we could hear the heart beat by the ultrasound wand but he said no (either he didn't know how, or it was still too early). It makes me nervous we haven't heard the heart beat yet, but I guess if they can see it on the screen flickering away and the doctors say it looks fine....It's fine.
So, that was my 5 second 12 week checkup. I wish I would have been able to go on Thursday and see Lynn because she always takes plenty of time to answer my questions and everything. I know I can call the office any time I need to, but it's kind of annoying to do that! I had to call today and ask them about my progesterone cream I have been taking. Dr Gomez said to stop taking it after 12 weeks... So I hope that works out! Anyway, I'm just happy everything looks good and our little bean is growing, growing, growing!!! :) Keep growing healthy little bean!!
My morning sickness is finally starting to go away, but I am still sick at night sometimes. I think it's because I brush my teeth, which always makes me gag, and then I feel nauseous and/or throw up :( Yuck... Hope that goes away soon. But other than that, I have been feeling better during the day and dont' need to take my Zofran anymore...Hooray! I'm also starting to get a little more energy going. I'm still pretty tired in the evenings, but I am feeling more energetic and able to go for walks... I am soo out of shape! It's amazing how out of shape I got from not working out for 5-6 weeks... YIKES!
I feel like I am showing a lot already. I think it's because my stomach had a little pooch before I got pregnant, and now it's just extra emphasized! I feel like I look 4-5 months preggo. ha! I've had to start unbuttoning my pants and using a hair tie to keep them together... I also bought a bellyband and used it yesterady but I'm not sure if I like it yet. I'm not wearing any maternity shirts yet but I have a feeling it will be pretty soon!
I guess that's it until next time :)) Here are 2 pictures from the ultrasound yesterday. Both front views of the baby.
And here is me at 12 weeks...I feel like I look HUGE already! My belly is definitely starting to pop out!
