My first appt!!!

I met with the midwife at my OBGYN's office.  Everything went super well, and although we did not get an ultra sound, one was scheduled for 2 weeks from today!!  She really made me feel better about that little bit of spotting.  She said it was most likely implantation bleeding and as long as there is no heavy bleeding or cramping everything should be fine.  She assured me that with my good health and young age, there are far more healthy, normal pregnancies than not.

I was able to ask a lot of questions, and she even complimented me on how much research I have done already (I'm obsessive).  My due date is April 11 which is from my LMP but the midwife also thinks I conceived later than normal (which I did) so we will be able to know more in 2 weeks.  I also got my hCg levels drawn again just so I can relax until my ultrasound.  They also checked my progesterone and tested for toxoplasmosis (sp?) 10 viles of blood later...  I didn't need an internal exam because I got one in April!  YAY!  I have an appt on Sept 1 with another midwife to do our genetic family tree. 

So all in all I am very happy with this process and the place I am at.  I went to my PCP after that because I have pink eye and an infection in my eye.  She gave me eye drops and gave me oral antibiotics and said it was up to me whether I want to take the oral antibiotics.  I dont think I will, I just dont want to risk it. 

So now I have a sucky wait til Sept 8 to see my little bean, we cannot wait!!!!

Thanks ladies for sending good vibes!

I am so glad your appointment went well and you will get to see your little one in only two weeks. That is earlier than some clinics so that is good!
