Tilted Uterus

Apparently I have a tilted uterus. For the most part this doesn't mean anything - unless you are trying to hear the heartbeat on a doppler. I had my first regular OB appointment on Thursday. Everything was going great until she tried finding the heartbeat. My doctor was great - she kept repeating that this early it is sometimes hard to hear on a doppler and she thought she had the "finicky" doppler, etc. After what seemed like forever she decided that while everything was most likely okay, I should probably have an ultrasound for my peace of mind. Bless her!

We had our fourth ultrasound and as always it was amazing. I still can't believe the detail so early - and all of the movement. It was also great because this was the last doctor's appointment B will be able to make before he comes back in July. I am so glad he was able to meet the OB and get a good feeling about their practice.

B is now gone. I dropped him off this morning. He will be in NC for 2 weeks before deploying. Since I will get to see him right before he leaves (hopefully!) I am not freaking out yet - although I am sure that is coming. For now I am just trying to stay busy, which today meant cleaning the closets. :)

I too have a tilted uterus. I can assure you that as the baby gets bigger it will be easier to hear the heartbeat. Best wishes for you and your hubby! :)

Yay for another u/s! I hope B's deployment flies by for both of you. You will all be in my prayers. Godspeed to him!

I also have a tilted uterus, though mine tilts forward, which I guess makes it easier to hear the heartbeat, or at least that's what my OB told me. But I also was 13 plus weeks before they looked for it. I am almost jealous of an extra ultrasound, though the agony of waiting those minutes in between not hearing it and seeing all was fine would have about killed me. I am glad that it went well.

I am sorry about B's deployment. How long will he be gone for?
