So, yesterday was my second prenatal visit and Matt and I had a pleasant surprise... When the doctor tried to find the heartbeat, he wasn't having any luck, so he decided to do an ultrasound!! We got to see our little monster flipping all over the place (and yes, there was only one in there)! I didn't get any pictures to take home, but we couldn't really tell what we were looking at anyways... We did see the heart beating as well as what the doctor told us was a head. That's about it. But I have my next ultrasound in December, at which time we will be able to tell the gender. I hope time goes by fast...
As far as my digestive issues go, he said that he wanted to follow my GI's lead. I'm getting blood work to rule out active Crohn's, but I suspect that it is just the troubles of early pregnancy, made worse by my already delicate situation. I learned the hard way that I was doing myself more harm than good by attempting OTC relief. I believe that I just wasn't careful enough in the beginning and allowed the bad bacteria in my gut to run amok. So, my advice to everyone out there contemplating pregnancy... Eat lots of fiber and stay away from refined carbs. Even if that's all you want to eat... Those delicious frozen pretzels and spaghetti's Os were totally not worth all this trouble.
