18 weeks - heart beating

Today we had our first appointment with a midwife. We filled in some hospital forms, gave personal information, and had a scan with the Doppler machine. My poor husbands face went white and dropped as the midwife searched for the heart beat, it takes a bit of finding with that thing and 10 seconds of silence felt to him like 10 minutes... The one and only time he's been present with a Doppler was when we miscarried at 17 weeks, but today the heart beat was there - Yeah! We're still on track.

Next time I see the midwives is at 30 weeks.

Next appointment is our 20 week scan. Apparently it is very detailed and takes 1 hour. Our Dr said 2 out of every hundred have some kind of issue, but from what she's seen she thinks we will be ok.
