Today we went in for my 12 wk appt. and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was AMAZING! I naturally cried. Now my pregnancy actually seems real since I haven't been having very many symptoms. The only downside was the doctor said my platelett count was a little low and naturally will get lower during pregnancy. Nothing to worry about. But if it doesn't come up, I may not be able to have an epideral.Scary to think about but totally worth it in the end.
