Sorry to keep you all in suspense, but I had a good ultrasound (for the most part). There’s a real live baby in there, with a real live beating heart. Yay!
That said, I’m still not totally stress-free about this whole pregnancy thing. The baby measures 9 days behind “dates” — I typically ovulate late, so this isn’t necessarily “abnormal” — but has a good strong heartbeat. I will feel better when this u/s is followed up with the midwives and I can see that growth is remaining consistent, though. My EDD based on gestational age is May 18, 2010.

Anticipating a good result on Friday, I’m trying to decide which set of midwives to phone this time. Last time I was with The Midwifery Group of Ottawa and, while I was extremely happy with the pregnancy care and the postpartum care, events that occurred during the birth left me somewhat less confident in them.
Does anyone who reads here have experiences with the Midwifery Collective? Are they “medwives”?

I’m still pregnant. My boobs hurt, I want to sleep all the time, and everything makes me feel like barfing, but I’m still pregnant — which is good!

Got today’s follow-up bloodwork results and they’re good. I’m happy but perplexed because I am still spotting and a different sort of crampy from what I remember of my early 2nd pregnancy. I’m going to be cautiously optimistic, though, as the numbers are good.
