Dr. Visit #1

Tuesday, June 21, 2005

So, I thought that doctor visits were supposed to clear things up for you. I think today just made it more confusing, well not confusing but questionable. I went to the doctor and we did all the questionaires and then I told the nurse about the episode on Saturday and she decided we should tell the doctor and see what he says. The doctor decided that he wanted to do an internal ultrasound to see what was going on and if everything was ok. So before the ultrasound he explained to me what we may or may not see, just to be aware. In we go....it was exciting and very scary all at the same time. We saw the little bean, but that's all it was a bean...you couldn't see anything it was just a circle. So now the doctor can't tell anyhting from that so we go back next week for another internal to see if we have a heartbeat. If there's no heartbeat then it could be the begining stages of a miscarrage and we will have to deal with those issues when we get there. So everyone please pray for the bean to get a heartbeat this week. The baby is in our thoughts and prayers every minute of everyday, please help us pray.
Another issue could have been that my blood was Rh negative, meaning I don't have any protiens on my red blood cells. In that case if the baby was Rh positive and it's blood got mixed with mine, my body would create antibodies and try to fight off the baby. So then it was down to the lab for bloodwork. Wait...wait....wait...I just called the doctor's officce and got my bloodwork results and I'm O+ so no Rh issues to worry about. If I was Rh - then they would have had to give me a shot and as long as my body hadn't already started producing antibodies, we would have been ok. But know we're in the clear and don't have to worry about blood issues.
So let's hope all goes well and the baby continues to develop normally and we can see an evidant heartbeat next Tuesday.
Keep us in your prayers.....
