Cough, cough, cough

I had to go to the doctor last week because I was coughing and hacking so hard that I almost threw up. And apparently, no doctor at Holzer Clinic will see you if you're pregnant, except for your OB doctor. So, I drove all the way to Gallipolis to get some cough medicine and a z-pac. But on the plus side, at only 11 weeks, I got to hear the baby's heartbeat on Doppler. :) 160 bpm

I don't know why it says "I'm back." My doctor is goofy sometimes.

Ultrasound and first appointment

I had my first appointment with Dr. H yesterday. It went well. He did an ultrasound to establish a due date. Based on ovulation, my due date would be 8-15 and I'd be about 8 weeks now. He put me at 9 weeks with a due date of 8-8. It's only a week, so I'm not too concerned about it.

Also, they have already labeled this pregnancy as "high risk" and offered me a level 2 ultrasound and fetal echo to check for the conditions that Evan has. I was for sure going to do it, but then I started thinking. I had both of those tests when I was pregnant with Evan, and they weren't able to see ANY of the things that were wrong with him at that point. So, I might just hold off. Dr. H said we would be super cautious and check everything. I might see if the pediatrician would order testing after the baby is born. That seems like it would be more beneficial.

I guess we'll see.
