We saw the heart beating and the blood pumping through the umbilical cord and quite a bit more movement! Looks like this pregnancy will have an anterior placenta, which will be a little nerve wracking for tracking movement but may explain why this little one has done so well.

I have such a good feeling about them. They have a completely different approach to pregnancy\/birth than the doctors\/hospital I had my daughter with, and I feel like this experience will have a lot less of the unnecessary fear-mongering and bullying that we went through before. I\u2019m hoping so hard this gets to be our first (last and only) nice, quiet, pleasant pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>From here, I go back for Panorama genetic testing blood work in 2 weeks and then another meeting with the OB and I believe another u\/s in October.<\/p>\n<p>I went ahead and purchased a fetal doppler so I can hopefully hear baby\u2019s heartbeat to alleviate some of my worries at home. I know I may not be reliably able to hear until closer to 12 weeks, especially since I have a retroverted uterus, but on the off chance I can get it working sooner, it will be massively reassuring. Also a fun party trick to share with family.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like we can start making plans now. Thinking about names and purchasing maternity clothes. We still have a long way to go, but it feels so good to be over these first few humps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I\u2019m still pregnant.
