Specialist appointment ultrasound

Bri • 🌈 💙 10/2019 🌈💗 12/2022

I was so excited for another opportunity to see our little peanut today! Unfortunately I have been categorized as high risk because I have a genetic blood clotting condition (Factor V) and have had 3 previous losses. Today they also said they don't like how much my blood pressure has risen over the last few weeks. They are just going to monitor the blood pressure for now, but I am on a daily injectable blood thinner for the blood clotting (Lovenox). I hate needles so I'm super dreading having to give myself the shots. I'm also not thrilled about having doctor appointments every 2 weeks for the entirety of the pregnancy, but I do love the fact that I will get a lot ultrasounds to see baby's progress!

Today at the start of the appointment baby was sleeping, but at the end was wiggling all over and waving its arms and legs. Cutest thing ever! Measuring right on track at 9w4d and has a strong heartbeat of 173 bpm. I'm so in love! 😍😍😍
