First OB Appointment

Well.....today was my first OB appointment.  Per my last period I am right at 5 weeks.  Per the ultrasound I am around 6 weeks but she couldn't hear/see a heartbeat.....so now I am SUPER stressed and worried that there is something wrong.  She made me another appointment for this Monday the 14th for another ultrasound so please pray and keep your fingers crossed that everything will be ok.
Even though I know it is going to be super hard to raise another child (I have an 8 year old son) I am still very excited about this pregnancy and even more excited about my growing family.  I will be 32 years old at the end of this month so I think the timing is right and I have a plan at making everything work.

Question- how much weight did you gain and how quickly?  Did your tummy seem more bloated protruding early out?  When I had my son I weighted a lot more but I didn't start showing until I was around 6 months.  No one even knew I was pregnant.  I feel like at 5-6 weeks I already have a pooch....maybe it is just bloating LOL

The first thing I would like to say is please don't stress yourself. In the early stages of pregnancy it is not good for the fetus. Secondly, you may have some bloating the size is so small at this stage.You really won't start showing until 3 or 4 months. Granted, every case is different because the smaller you are obviously you would notice it sooner. Most importantly, I would like to say that God is control 'HIS WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN". So if it is in his will you and baby will be fine. You just trust in him and believe, stay positive and reject any negativity that comes to you. You will be fine and my prayers are with you and your family. Take care!

this is the very reason that i dont think they should do super early ultrasounds.. most of the time the heartbeat isnt even visable.. esp if your 5/6 weeks... yeah its bloating...weight- all my babies are post op...1st 30sih lbs ... 2. 9.... 3. 0... with my 1st i lost most of it... my 2nd i lost 6?.. and my 3rd i lost 22 lbs after i had her 6 weeks ago

My US at 5.5 weeks, we couldn't find a heartbeat and I was FREAKED out because that would have been my 4th miscarriage!  A week later, there the beautiful thing was.  Don't get too stressed yet, it isn't that uncommon not to see one yet.  Depends ALOT on the embryos position and quality of the equipment and skill of the ultrasonographer!

The other thing to remember is you have no control whatsoever!  So, just relax, take a deep breathe and what will be will be!  (I know it's easier said than done)  I'll keep you in my prayers that Monday's US is a positive one!

Best wishes,
Linda

Thank you!!!!  And you are all correct.  God IS in control and HIS will be done!!!  I prayed A LOT last night and I feel better today....minus the morning sickness LOL.

I am notarious for freaking out about just about everything that doesn't go just right....OCD maybe?  LOL but this one is OUT of my hands.  God knows my heart and my desire....and the rest is up to HIM!!!

Thank you again.
