Whoo-wuw-oo-wuw-oo-wuw-oo-wuw-oo-wuw-oo
That's how our baby's heartbeat sounded like at our second visit with our midwife. I thought I would be emotional and teary this day but instead I was just glad w/ a smile b/c we were having insurance problems at the front desk . . . plus I was running late for the appointment due to traffic. Argh! On top of that, the midwife introduced a shadow doctor who was learning about midwifery practices and he'll be staying w/ us for the rest of my term. So , since this appointment turned out to be rushed along with a clinical visitor and insurance hassles, I didn't really pay dear attention to my baby.
But that heartbeat. . .how exciting!
I was sad, however, that our prenatal caregiver mentioned of another test to determine if there might be a serious defect w/ the baby resulting in termination. I'm not sure if I want that kind of murderous heartbreak even if the baby does have a defect. It's a life David and I created. I think it's too late for a miscarriage now - a forced miscarriage in this case. I'm already attached to my baby's life - hearing his or her heartbeat. Who besides God has the responsibility to terminate a baby's life?
