1st Trimester

A little concerned..need to get off my chest.

So last week I went in to meet my new OBGYN and he did an ultra sounds just to MAYBE see if we could hear a heartbeat. I was only 5.5 weeks along and he saw a sac and something in it but no heartbeat. At one point we all kinda saw a flutter but we couldn't find it again. He said I am most likely too early to see and hear the heartbeat so he had be come back a wekk later. So this sat I am going in and I will be 7.1 weeks along. Keeping my finger crossed that we hear the heartbeat!! My first pregnancy I had No morning sickness but I did have sore breast. Not crazy sore but sore. I also was bloated but I can't remember how far along I was when I got bloated.  I did crave and want to eat a lot of food. Also I was very constipated! other than that I was fine. But this time around I have sore breast but right now they come and go. The veins in my breast are very like BOOM you can see all of them. The soreness comes and goes but my nipples are sensitive and are big not to mention you can see the gladns/bumbs w.e you want to call them VERY well. they also got bigger. I don't really have a crazy need to eat like I did last time. It kinda just has stayed the same. But the past couple days I have been feeling a little nauseas ( 6.4 weeks right now) and food sounds sick until I eat it and then even after that I feel a little sick. Water even taste kinda gross to me as well. I do pee a little more than I usually do. my stomach down there has very mild cramps here and there but I cant tell if it's a tight feeling or a bloated feeling that I have down there. I am VERY constipated. I think yesterday was my first somewhat normal BM, it was awesome TMI I now but really. Other than that I feel great this time around. I hope that doesn't mean something is wrong with my baby. and hopefully when i went in last time is was just way to early for me to hear or see anything. Please write back to this if you have any imput thanks! :)

  • I had an ultrasound at 5.5 weeks and only the sac and fetal pole were visible. Then I had another one a week later, and we saw and heard the heartbeat. So I wouldn't worry. I'm sure everything is fine. 
    You can have every symptom in the book or no symptoms at all or fall somewhere in between and still have a healthy baby.

  • I had an ultrasound last week at 5w3d and all we could see was the sac. I wasn't concerned at all because I thought it was too early to see anything other than that anyways.  I go back this week (I will be 6w2d) to try and see the fetal pole and possibly a heartbeat. I won't be heart broken if we see no heartbeat because I still think it is a tad to early to see that anyways.

  • ok so maybe this is just my pet peeve, but you will not hear a heart beat this early. I just heard mine for the first time last week. At over 12 weeks.

    You may see the heartbeat, I saw ours first at a little over 7 weeks. Granted that was my first US. There was no reason to have one sooner for me.

  • I am 5w6d and had an ultrasound today. We weren't expecting to see a heartbeat, but did :)

     

    Of course, it isn't as fast as a normal fetal rate at 95bpm, but it was there. I think it just depends on a variety of factors.

     

    As for symptoms, don't worry. I've had next to no symptoms except for fatigue, which I contribute to the progesterone supplements that they have put me on.

  • I had an u/s at 5w2d and they saw a gestational sac and yolk sac.  I went back this morning at 5w6d and there is now a fetal pole with a flutter of a heartbeat.  FX for you!

  • Sooooo, I read that morning sickness is a "good sign"! The ultimate cure-all for constipation is: 2 drops of doTerra DigestZen in 1Cup of warm water. OMG! I had 3 doses of this and was STRAIGHT for 2 weeks + I took GNC Probiotics daily. May I say HEAVENLY?! Gross, but TRUE!!

    I wondered about this but a lot of ladies said they DO hear the heartbeat. I did read one post that the lady said the machine simulated the sound based off the fluttering heart they see. Real or simulated I think would be awesome!
  • **Oops! 2 drops DigestZen plus 1/4 Cup warm water Cheers!! :D
  • Every pregnancy can be different. What you've experienced in the past won't necessarily be your experience this time. It doesn't mean that there are problems with your baby.

    Try not to worry. Hang tight til your ultrasound.

  • Although we could see the heartbeat, we couldn't hear it.

  • I was 6w5d at my first US and we SAW the heartbeat by using a thermal detector, but didn't hear it or get heart rate or anything, so I wouldn't be concerned yet. I felt the same way a couple of weeks ago, but trust me the symptoms are waiting just around the corner!

  • With dd they did and early u/s (In the 5 week frame) and didn't find a heartbeat. My OB wasn't worried at all; we got a heartbeat a week later, and I now have a healthy toddler. 5 weeks is still really early. Best wishes!
