"It's all right Katniss, the baby is just what we call 'settling in'. There can sometimes be occasional, light bleeding when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of your uterus, in the first couple of months of pregnancy."
As I heard doctor say these words my breathing became slower and my heart beat slowed as well. "Thank god" I said as I breathed a sigh of relief. Peeta came closer and enclosed me into a tight hug. He then lightly strokes my face and gives me a kiss on my forehead.
"Okay, well thank you very much Doctor George, we are honestly so relieved!" Peeta said as he continued to rub my back soothingly.
"It's quite alright Peeta, having slight bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy is totally normal. While you two are here though we can do a quick first ultrasound if you like."
I turn quickly to face Peeta whose face immediately lights up at the sound of being able to see our baby for the first time. He looks down at me with an excited look on his face. "This is totally up to you hunny, we can either make another appointment another time and then we can ask somebody to come, or we can do it now and then book another appointment to bring someone."
"I don't think that I can wait Peeta, lets do it now!" I said knowing how happy this would make Peeta.
Once Doctor George had got the table prepped for my ultrasound he asked me to lay down on the table. He then switched on a big machine with a large screen on the front.
Peeta sat on a chair by my side and took my right hand in both of mine. "Doctor George would we be able to tell the sex with this ultrasound?" asked Peeta excitedly.
"With an ultrasound at about 12 weeks this is the earliest they can tell with any certainty. At that stage both sexes will have a genital tubercule, which will turn into the penis for a boy and the clitoris for a girl. So the earliest I will probably be able to tell you the sex is at around 2 to 3 months, sorry guys. But hopefully I will be able to let you two hear the heartbeat."
Peeta looks a little disappointed but still extremely excited.
"Okay Katniss, I am going to put some saline gel onto your stomach, it is going to be quite cold" says Doctor George, opening a big tube and squeezing some clear, thick gel onto my stomach.
I wince a little at the coldness and immediately Peeta looks at me with a worried look on his face. "It's just a little cold, that's all" I say giving Peeta a smile, and he goes back to holding my hand.
Doctor George rubs a white stick over my stomach and I see the screen change. He points to a small white oval on the black screens.
"Okay Katniss Peeta, that is your baby."
I gave up at the little circle and suddenly all of my fear and nerves disappear. This little nugget is going to be mine, I am going to be able to hold it in 8 months. This little nugget no matter how small already has so much love from both Peeta and I. As I think of all these things I realise there are tears falling down my face. I look over my shoulder and see Peeta looking lovingly at the screes with a small smile on his face, there are also tears on his face.
Peeta places one hand on my cheek and looks down at me. "That's our baby Katniss, that's our little baby" he says.
