Met with the family Dr yesterday as we needed to ease our worries minds. Since it will still be 2 1/2 week until we meet with our OBGYN, and another 4 before our next u/s we needed some ease.
So we met with the Dr to use his portable u/s, listen to the HB machine. Got to hear the HB. I was sooo nice to hear.
We also had an intern with the Dr, so she actually performed the u/s. She said because there is 2, it's difficult to know if you are hearing 1 or 2 HB, or the same baby over and over again. DH said he heard 2, because she put the wand in two different places. All I could feel was pressure on my belly.
Also brought up the fact that I started having lower abdomen/pelvic pain since Sunday afternoon. Hurts when I cough, sit, or bend over. Hard to explain the pain. But they said it was probably my uterus growing and stretching. Posted the pain aches on my Due in March Board, and most of the ladies said they have the same uterine stretching too. Phew!
Still feeling good. Tired, but good. I did weigh myself at the Dr too. And only gained 8 pounds in 8 weeks. Not sure if that's good or not.

Congrats on a great appointment! My nurses always looked for a different heart rate and movement that I could distinguish where it was coming from.
I'm glad all is going well. I had some strange pains that came and went during the pregnancy. Your uterus is growing twice as fast as normal so that could account for most of it.
I bet most of your weight gain is still bloat at this time. I gained about 7-8 pounds quickly and then lost some over the 2-4 month. The weight didn't start adding up until the 6th month or so.
Keep up the good work.
