Ultrasound #1

Well, today was my first visit with Dr S. for this pregnancy. Really, it was just an ultrasound to make sure things were as they should be at 5 weeks. The gestational sac and yolk sac measured 5 weeks and 6 days. According to my last period I should be 5 weeks and 2 days. So, the little baby is growing as it should for this stage in pregnancy. For some reason I won't get into (it's too lengthy) the ultrasound tech could even tell that I ovulated from my right ovary. Pretty neat. It's still so early. So much could change. So much WILL change. But, I just don't know in what direction yet. I'm very happy with today's results just not getting attached yet.

My blood pressure was 132/90. Yes, it's high but it's par for the course at this point. As Dr S. said, "I've seen it worse." She wasn't concerned. I document my very normal blood pressures every day for record.

First appointment went well. My first official OB visit (with labs, another ultrasound, etc) will be May 4 and I'll be about 8 weeks. Looking forward to seeing baby's progress.
