Heartbeat

I went to the doctor again yesterday as scheduled. I had to wait for quite a while because the doctor came in at around 10am already and two other patients before me took at least half an hour each.
But when it was my turn, it didn't last that long. She asked me how I feel, if there was any bleeding or pain and I said none at all. She performed an ultrasound again and I voiced out loud if it was fine to have an ultrasound that frequent and they guaranteed that it is indeed safe.
The doctor didn't have to push the stick long and hard on my abdomen because she saw it at once. She enlarged the image and pointed it to me. From a mere dot ten days ago, the baby is now a fetus, or embryo or whatever it was called. Enlarging it once more, there was a thudding rhythm on the image. She said it was the heart. My baby now has a heart and the heart is beating fast! I can't quite explain the feeling of amazement.
Then there was another image shown beside the fetus. It was a series of lines and one portion of lines was thicker and more crooked. She explained that it was the heartbeat.
After the ultrasound, she told me that my checkup will now be on a monthly basis. I asked if it is normal to feel not so much pregnancy symptoms at all. She just told me that I am lucky not to have those.
And so I have to be back next month but she expressly told me that if there were any bleeding or pain, I have to come back immediately. I hope there won't be any of that. I just have to be extra careful and continue drinking my medicines.
Thank God for this wonderful blessing!
