XP: My first midwfie appointment
It was just an initial visit, we talked a bit and she took some blood. She used the doppler and tried to hear the heartbeat but apparently I have a main vein right there and it was overpowering - she said next appointment (Jan. 10) we will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat, when it's a little bigger. I'll be about 14 weeks then.
I'm really glad to be going this route (with the midwife) but part of me wishes that I was getting an early ultrasound (before 20 wks). I just want to know that everything's okay, you know? The midwife didn't tell me any numbers or anything of real significance to make me feel like this is all real. She said that I'm definitely pregnant (she could tell by touching my uterus), but I already knew that, haha.
I guess I just have to wait til my next appointment to hear the heartbeat and just trust that everything is going good in there!

Well congrats on the "no news good news" appt! Had to be nice to at least get that first visit out of the way.
Did the MW try to date your pregnancy? Is it possible you aren't as far as along as you think (I remember you saying something about your long cycles... or am i making that up?) Maybe its just too early for the doppler, I read that they aren't guarenteed until 12+ wks.

That's a bummer you don't have an ultrasound until 20 weeks. It will go by fast though!
Congrats again
