My 2nd Dr. appt was on 3.16.07 which wasn't intended to include an ultrasound, but we had a little scare...
This appt. is suppose to be an appt with the Dr. and a Doppler (a device used to listen to the heart beat). As the nurse started to roll the Doppler around on my stomach...no heartbeat was heard! After sometime went by (about 10 min) and the nurse had a strange look, but was reassuring me not to get worried, there still wasn't a sound. She decided to bring another nurse in and another Doppler, but no luck! At that time, my heart started racing and I was definitely thinking the worst. So Dr. Feldman came in and asked me a few questions... like "do you feel pregnant?" What kind of question is that?! I started thinking back to all my symptoms or should I say lack of symptoms and how I wasn't getting sick anymore or even feeling sick and I was having strange pains in my back...Needless to say, I had no idea what I was feeling.
So He gave me an exam and said with assurance that my uterus was the size it should have been at 12 weeks and wanted to schedule an ultrasound, but first he was going to check with the Doppler...after a few minutes.... A HEARTBEAT! Ahh, it was like hearing heaven's angels sing!
I still wasn't assured so I asked to get an ultrasound regardless. As soon as the tech put the device on my stomach all the questions were answered... our little angel was bouncing off the walls inside me and wouldn't lay still for the poor nurses to find the heartbeat!!
The heart had a strong beat at 172bpm....
