So I went to my second Dr.'s visit today. It went great! B2 is growing steadily and suprisingly I measured 10 weeks to the day. According to what they told me last visit I should only be 9 weeks and 5 days, but I'll take those two extra days!
B2's heartbeat has sped up quite a bit to keep up with the rapid growth. Just 3 weeks ago it was 135bpm and today it was 162! Wowzers, thats a fast heartbeat. I can't believe how quickly our little bean is growing. At 6 weeks and 5 days B2 was not quite a centimeter long and today came in at 3.18cm. How cool!!
Don was unable to attend this visit due to Rory being at home, but I got to see little arms and legs---even fingers! And most importantly... I HEARD the heartbeat!! Hooray! That means the chance of something going wrong at this point is slim to none. It was just as fascinating this time around to see this baby growing inside of me! I love it already!!
Everything went great with baby today, but during my papsmear Dr. Huff noticed that my uterus is tilted. Say whay?!? Apparently it is tilted backward vs. being upright. Typically, the uterus will straighten itself out. As of right now this does not pose a risk to me or baby but if it does not straighten in the future something will have to be done. When the uterus stays tilted as the baby grows it puts excess pressure on the pelvic bones and causes severe pain. In this case, they will give medication to relax the uterus and go in and manually manuever the uterus into its proper position. Umm...no thank you! I don't want anyone fooling around in my hoo-ha anymore than they have to. In the 8 years that Dr. Huff has been practicing, she has only had one case where this issue has become complicated. Its rare for anything to go wrong and ridiculous for me to stress myself out about it now. So, to keep things looking up take a look at the ultrasound pictures that were taken today...**Next Appointment is in 4 weeks, August 25th.
