I am sure it's not just me, but most if not all mothers, but I was pretty nervous right before hearing the heartbeat. Since the first trimester is the most susceptible to miscarriages, that fear has always been in the back of my head. Now I haven't had any signs whatsoever that I have had a miscarriage and I have been seeing and feeling changes signifying that I really am still pregnant, but that fear still lingered.
BUT, we heard the heartbeat and all is well :) My doctor said it sounds good and now I need to start gaining weight. With only one week left in the 1st trimester, I have gained a whopping 1 1/2 pounds; yet still not back to my normal pre-pregnancy weight. My doctor told me I need to gain at least a pound before I see her again in 4 weeks. So here's hoping all this food I've been eating will start catching up with me! Just not too fast though :)
In 4 weeks we go back to listen to the heartbeat again, and then 4 weeks after that we get to (hopefully) find out what we are having! Any bets on what it's going to be? I'm thinking maybe a girl; just because probably 99% of my pregnant friends this year have had or are having boys. So I'm just saying 2013 will be the year for girls. Just my speculation of course.....
Also on a side note, I got my first "Are you pregnant?" question today at work from my favorite security guard. I guess that means I officially look pregnant now :)
