Second doctors visit
We had our second doctor visit today.
Since this is only our second visit, I’m still not sure where my place is or what I'm supposed to do. I want to be as involved and supportive in these visits as I can, and I don't want to miss any of the moments that might happen. But I don't want to interfere with things between Kim and the doctor.
So, I immediately head to the same seat I sat in our last visit. I feel comfortable there, so I dubbed it my new assigned seat. I told myself that kim would make sure I didn't miss anything.
I was summoned to the room for hopefully a first in this pregnancy.
Hearing our first heartbeat.
Nope.
Disappointment.
I guess it was a first... the first of many times where we try to get our kid to do something and he/she doesn't want to. Not even out of the womb yet and already causing mom and dad problems.
After the doctor made a couple of attempts with the "heartbeat device" there was no hearing the heartbeat this week. He said something about the uterus might still be behind the pelvic wall.
We will have to wait till next weeks ultrasound for hearing the heartbeat.
