Cute, huh? Still looks like an alien though. They say that once you see a heartbeat your risk of miscarriage goes down to about 5%. As I've said, I've been on the wrong side of statistics before...My sister also lost a baby after having seen the heartbeat so I know it does happen. Just hoping that all will be ok for us. All in all this is a pretty helpless time...I can't have scans every day and even if I could, if something were wrong there's not much doctors could do anyway. I don't have many symptoms either, and the ones I do, like tender boobs, could also be due to the progesterone pessaries. I'm also peeing all the time. In fact I may just relocate my reading, TV watching etc to the bathroom to save time. Just have to convince DH to install a TV in the bathroom.
We have an appointment with the FS on Wed. Not exactly sure what will happen but she may refer me to an OB. Still trying to decide on who to go with. Have decided to go to Jessie McPherson Private Hospital (all being well). It's on the same site as a major public teaching hospital so if we needed special care they wouldn't have to transfer us. I was going to see the OB my friend used with her twins but she has apparently booked up as the other female OB who delivered there has just retired. When I first got pregnant I wanted to go to Cabrini Hospital, which has a reputation for being a nice cushy place to give birth. The problem is that you have to book in with them as soon as you get a BFP which, after three miscarriages, I didn't have the confidence to do. In any event, my priorities have changed...I'd rather have the best medical care available than the cushiest hospital room.
Will post again after our appointment on Wednesday. Keep growing, little one...
