1st Ultrasound

Well, after patiently waiting for 7 weeks and 5 days, Friday I went for my first ultrasound and got to see my baby (well, foetus) for the first time. It was all a bit of a nervous wait since my last blood test showed extremely elevated hormone levels which the Ob/Gyn thought may have indicated more than one foetus.

When the image came up on the screen I was so happy to only see the one foetus (though much to many people’s disappointment). There really wasn’t that much to see except a little white ‘bean’ inside the black gestational sac. All development is on track and there is a strong heart beat. Baby’s due date is 14 March 2010.

My current Ob/Gyn is based in Subiaco and he has suggested that I call St John of God (SJOG) Murdoch and arrange to see an Ob/Gyn that is a little closer to home. This will make it easier for check-up appointments and also for the birth.
