Q: 1st Dr.'s Visit

What do they do at the first Dr.S visit? Do u hear the heart beat. Because he keeps telling me an abortion isnt a big deal and I told him when u hear its heart beat I want to see what u say.. He isnt realizing how emotional this is.

Sometimes you get to hear the heartbeat but not by doppler by transvaginal ultrasound. Why would you want to be with someone who wants you to have an abortion? I say your better off without him and to just continue the pregnancy on your own.

Edit: changed doppled to doppler

I agree. U shouldnt waste ur breath trying to show him anything. If he doesnt know already that yes, its a life no matter how many weeks, then hes just ignorant.

I cant get through to him.. He just keeps calling me from work.. I told him to jsut walk away. That I cannot healt question this baby. It was our mistake. He tells me that it is nothing but a glob that its not a baby. I dont need him. If that is what he wants I dont want him around my child. I am so confused.

At my first visit they did a pap, weighed me, checked my breasts, and gave me prenatel vitamins. They said they weren't going to check the heartbeat because I wasn't that far and they might not get anything.

My second appointment they did the heartbeat and I got an ultrasound with pictures, it was the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life! I have 2 cute little pictures of my baby! I can't wait to find out if its a boy or girl Smile

i don't think there is getting through to someone about this kinda thing, but I think you should do what you feel is best whatever that may be.
