2nd ultrasound
in GP Moms
I had a second ultrasound today. This was actually supposed to be my first but we of course had the unscheduled one last week after the bleeding.
Baby looked perfect! The RE said everything looked great for 7 weeks. Size and heartbeat were right where they should be. He was actually going to graduate me today but he didn't read the note about the bleeding (only the u/s tech saw it). So now I have one more u/s with my own RE on the 28th (8w6d) and then I'll be released to my OB!
And for reading that all, here's a picture of my uterus (with a baby in it!!!)

Re: 2nd ultrasound
I think the RE kept me until around 8 or 9 weeks as well. I'm so glad everything is going well! And seeing that flickering little hb is SO reassuring,
