Well, I had my first antenatal visit at the hospital today. It went very well. I answered about a zillion questions then I got up on the table for an exam. She put the little stethoscope on my belly and we listened. I heard beating but it was going too slow to be the babies heart. I was right...that was my heartbeat. Then all of a sudden I heard what sounded like a horse galloping very fast. That was the babies heartbeat!!! She let me just sit and listen to it for about 30 seconds. It was absolutely amazing! She then measured the distance from the top of my pubic bone to the top of my uterus and it measured 13cm which should be within 2cm on either direction of the amount of weeks that I am pregnant. Since I am 14 weeks she said that was great.
The other thing is my due date has changed to October 13th. The doctor thinks that the ultrasound technician added a day because of leap year instead of subtracting a day to my due date. So as of today I am 14 weeks 1 day along.
So the moral of this story is that everything is going well and things are looking to be right on track. YAY!!!
