So far, so good with this new pregnancy. I hit the 5 week mark, so it's still very early on at this point. I try to remain hopeful and positive since anything else is neither helpful nor healthy for me and the baby.
I called on Monday and made an appointment to see my midwives for the first time. They want to see my at 8 weeks, which is typical of any other normal pregnancy so my appointment is on March 9th. At that exam, I will probably get some blood taken, have an exam, ask the midwife any questions, and hopefully get a dating ultrasound done and get to hear the heartbeat. If they don't recommend an ultrasound, I will certainly request one to help calm my underlying nervousness. Besides, since I didn't track this cycle like I have for others, I'm not really sure when I ovulated/conceived.
Here's to hoping that the next 3 weeks go by quickly and smoothly.
