Houston, We see a Baby!

In the UK, your Antenatal Care is handled by your Hospital. To get a referral to the Hospital, you start with the GP. The Hospital will then post you an appointment. 

Well, it was going on two weeks from my referral appointment with the GP and I hadn't heard anything so I took matters into my own hands and called the hospital directly. The Antenatal Ward at Chelsea Westminster Hospital was super nice and booked me my Dating and Screening Scan for December 5th. They also informed me that because I had miscarried in the past (plus being unsure of how far along I was) I was entitled to an early scan at the Early Pregnancy Unit. This was made for 11/11/11. 

Andrew ducked out in between meetings to come with me. When we walked into the room, the same doctor from before saw me and said, "Wow! That was fast. You guys are really fertile!" 

There was a new doctor starting at the clinic and I'm pretty sure I was his first scan as the Doc I had met before kept saying thing like, "OK, what do you do now..." and "What else should you be looking for.." But the second he started scanning, they turned the screen towards me to show me my baby and it's little heart was beating!! And beating strongly! Everything looked good. 

They also told me at this time, I was 7 weeks and 4 days... about two weeks further along than I thought! That puts me currently at a June 25th Due Date, well, to be confirmed on December 5th! 

We're SOOOOO Happy with this news!
