Today is the 1st day I am going to see the actual doctor, before when I went they just done blood work and I seen the nurse. It's a big day, today we will hear the heartbeat and make sure everything is fine. Please think of us today and pray everything will be ok.

Thank you all so much! I will let you know how things went.

Well, today is a day I will NEVER forget...I got to the doctors office, went back to the room (did all the things you have to do), then Dr. came in, well, 1st she was going to hear the heartbeat, she looked and looked and looked some more no heartbeat found...I cried, she said don't worry, we'll do an ultrasound let me do a papsmear (sp?) 1st so, needless to say I cried during the papsmear thinking the worse possible...praying the whole time that things would be fine...

I found out I had a pollup (sp?) (which I am going to look up on the internet after I type this) on my Cervix, she said it may cause spotting...

Ok so they sneak me around the corner (in my shirt and a sheet wrapped around my bottom) to do an ultrasound...

She put the gel on and then there it was, my little baby...*sigh of relief* and then movement and a little tiny heartbeat..*BIG sigh of relief*...

I balled my eyes out (in relief and thinking what *could* have happened)..I have never had anything happen to me so stressful, here I am one minute thinking I am going in for a routine visit, only to NOT hear the heartbeat..thank God for Ultrasound machines, I don't know what I would have done..

Well, my Dr. is so nice, she tried to put it nicely but said, your like me you have a little cushion (fat), lol that's okay at least the baby is ok..

The whole pregnancy I have lost 10 lbs. and gained 1 so far

Sorry I wrote so much I just wanted to share my stressful day and thank you for your prayers I really don't know how I would have gotten through this day without them...

I am excited I got to see it though..Dr. said you have a good looking baby...lol

Oh and I am now 13 weeks and 2 days

*Sigh of Relief* I can imagine what you went through in that time. I'm so happy that everything ended happily. Scared a few years off of your life, I'm sure.

I'm glad everything ended well!
I'm sure it was scary though!

By Dawnk777 on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 - 07:47 am:

Wow, that would be scary! I'm glad you did get to see the baby and see the little heart beating! I would have been bawling from fear and then bawling from joy!

Cervical Polyps

I had one on my cervix years before my hysterectomy, and again, where my cervix had been after my hysterectomy.

They are not than uncommon, but you do need to watch for bleeding. I had a friend who had one when she was pregnant and she had bleeding and some pain, but her baby was absolutely fine.

Congrats on your pregnancy!

Thank you for the link Karen.
I have have spotting, (TMI, maybe but this morning was worse than last night, when I woke up and used the bathroom I had like a half dollar amount on some tissue it was light pink). I am wondering if it is from the polyp or the pap smear.
