Today was my first Doctor appointment. Going by my 1st day of my last period I should be 9 weeks pregnant. I told the doctor I wasn't sure how accurate this was for a few reasons:
1. I had been taking pregnancy tests as soon as my period was late in mid August. They had all been negative. However, I wasn't sure if they really had been negative or if I wasn't reading them close enough since my last positive test was on its way to the trash as what I THOUGHT was negative.
2. I found it odd that I was just now starting to feel sick. Typically this happens for me right at the beginning of my pregnancy. This wasn't jiving with the whole 9 weeks bit.
So, combining those 2 factors, I was beginning to wonder if maybe I was more like 6 weeks preggo. That would explain why the line was so faint in the positive test. I would have JUST been pregnant.
Long story short, the doc couldn't get a heartbeat. Not a huge deal this early on, but I asked for a sonogram to better determine where I was in this trimester. External sonogram, no luck. This simply wasn't looking good for a 9 week preggo. Internal sonogram, yep there is the sac, yep there is a teeny tiny blob that measures.......6 weeks!
I knew I had been feeling too good to be true. Totally made sense with the recent nausea. I'm glad everything is well with the little one so far, but 6 weeks???? When you have been thinking you're 9 weeks????? GRRRR!!! Due date went from April 23rd to May 17th.
That's all I can muster up for now.
