The longest most gentle sonogram

Ok, so while traveling I needed to get checked out. Luckily my aunt was nearby and was able and willing to take me to the ER and stay with me. I had a full workup with labs and a thorough exam. I was relieved that nothing major was found, just a bladder infection with atypical symptoms (now cleared thanks to antibiotics). Anyway, while at the ER I had a sonogram (without doppler - no sound). The technician was sweet and very gentle. She explained what we were seeing and what she was looking for and measuring. I was overjoyed seeing the baby's little flickering heart! My little one was dancing and moving so we got to see many different positions :) I think it lasted about 10 minutes, compared to the usual 2 minutes worth of image viewing. My aunt was really excited that she got to share this time with us, and I was very glad I had her with me!

  1. I'm glad you choose to go to the ER and that Aunt Lorra was there for you; however, I'm a bit jealous that I have not been able to see and/or hear the baby as of yet :)
