5w2d. Still here.
Yesterday was appointment day- I had a dentist appointment for the first time in a LONG time, and who knew it was such a big deal when you check off "pregnant" on your chart at the dentist. I was bombarded with question after question about the pregnancy, the whole "Is this your first" thing again, etc., etc. Receptionist, assistant, hygienist, dentist. I got the full onslaught over and over.
Then it was off to my OBGYN. She's so sweet; when she saw us come in she was so excited she actually jumped up and down. She seems very optimistic about this pregnancy. It was a pretty routine visit- weight, bp (high of course 130/90), instructions on what to do next. They're sending me for an early ultrasound for dating within the next little while and also to haematology to discuss the pros/cons of hepa.rin therapy.
It was baby day at the doctor. My last few visits were on gynecology day, so this was my first post-Charlotte visit with all the pregnant people. It's very weird being back in that club, although I feel very much like an outsider. I don't really feel pregnant, the only symptom I have so far is tiredness, and the first-time pregnancy novelty I had last time is certainly not there now. I feel no need to be googling baby's development or devouring What to Expect. I'm just hanging in there, taking things one step at a time and holding my breath.
Tomorrow we go meet the new GP, who, according to Dr OBGYN is an absolute "sweetheart". I'm sure that will work out just fine.
Now if I can just stay pregnant, keep that BP under control, we'll be all set.

Glad all is going well. For what it's worth, I didn't really feel hat I was pregnant until my anatomy scan at 20 weeks.
Don't hold your breath too much, you might pass out!
I'm glad things are progessing for you, and I also didn't quite feel in the club the second time I was pregnant. I'm sure it will be that way for me again someday.
you just keep on keeping on! It is hard, those first few weeks, and being around "normal" pg women has never been the same for me, but try to enjoy it, before you know it you'll be holding your baby in your arms, of that I am sure.
It is the first-time pregnancy novelty I know I'll miss. If I ever f*&%#@* hurry up and get there!! Keep hanging in there girl.
I want to hug your OBGYN now - so glad you have someone like that on your side. I have my metaphorical fingers crossed for you. (I cross my actual fingers for you occasionally, too, but it gets in the way of typing after a while.)
