I had my first appt and ultrasound today at 8+1. Heartbeat was strong at 173 bpm. My little bean is real and even better, measuring perfectly on track. I just can’t believe it. Everything feels so surreal. I’ve known I’ve been pregnant since 10 DPO but it’s starting to feel actually real.
Also seeing this little bean is SO validating for my fatigue 😂 no wonder I’m tired. It’s absolutely amazing that our bodies just know how tf to do this??
Idk how I’m gonna wait until the anatomy scan to see the baby again!!! I just keep replaying the heartbeat video.
I’ve been lucky *knock on wood* to have a pretty easy first trimester. But also, I probably need to keep off Reddit or be selective on what I read. Not sure if anyone else can relate, but now that I finally saw the baby, I can’t believe I stressed myself out so much over some stupid things… so also this post will also serve as a reminder to me later to just sit back and enjoy the ride. You’re doing everything you can, and other than that, it’s just out of your control.
Sending all the good, gushy vibes to everyone 💕
