I called my doctor today because the cramping I was feeling got a little more intense. They wanted me to come in to make sure everything is okay. So I, sort of, got to see Baby Diff. It's pretty much a tiny sac because I'm only 5 weeks and 5 days along. I have a cyst on my right side ovary (which is bigger than the baby!) and that is what is causing a lot of my pain. However, I was told by the nurse and my doctor that this is a good sign, the cyst sort of feeds the baby until I start feeding it. I guess not everyone feels the pain from it, lucky me.
I met with Dr. Morris. He told me that the baby is high in my uterus which is a really good sign. I have to get blood work drawn tomorrow to test my HCG levels and then again 48 hours later to verify they are increasing at the appropriate levels. This will also indicate how the baby is doing, and he said, "tie up any loose ends."
I will go back on the 13th at 1:00 for another ultra sound and appointment.
They are hoping that the baby will be far enough along that we will be able to see the heart beat through the sonogram. (Yay!)
