First Prenatal Appointment

The first appointment was today. The NP couldn't find the heartbeat by doppler but that wasn't too surprising considering I'm not even 8 weeks until tomorrow. So nothing too exciting happened, just the usual information gathering and urine giving.

They still won't do an ultrasound until 20 weeks. Ugh. And then she says, "Well, I suppose you're worried about twins." Well, I wouldn't say worried but... Yes, the thought has definitely been on our minds and I'd rather know sooner than later. So she says that if my uterus is measuring big in the future then they'll take a look early. And she said it is unlikely, which I know. But it is twice as likely as for someone not taking clomid, nonetheless.

But... they offer the screening at 11-13 weeks that involves the ultrasound measurement of the nuchal fold. So guess who is definitely signing up for that one! Yes, if only to get a peek at the baby.

So nothing too exciting to report. I am definitely nauseous about 75% of the day and pretty much have to just lay around after work due to that and the extreme fatigue that I do not remember from last time. But I can't complain because I haven't thrown up and I can still eat all three meals per day. That's a definite improvement from last time!
