So far every day of the pregnancy seems to bring new challenges, for example, the last few days Maggie has been sick with a bad cold, so we researched what over the counter medications are safe to use while pregnant. It's been a flurry of doctor's visits, injections, medications, naps, and lots of checking on the internet for reassurance.
Well today was a real milestone, during this the third ultrasound (day 36) the doctor turned on the fetal monitor and we heard a strong, steady heartbeat! Completely amazing stuff. If you click on the sonogram above you can see the full size picture with the heartbeat shown.
The second sonogram shows how the fetus is growing. The bug is now about 0.5 cm in size and the egg sac is at least about 2-3 cm. Everything looks good, the doctor is taking Maggie off of the progesterone injections which should give her a nice break from the needles.
