Congratulations momma! That's one beautiful blob

LGW2015

Yay!! So awesome! My DD is 10/2 as well but my appt isn't until the 19th! 2 more weeks, the wait is killing me!

kaimee072712

Only reason I had mine so early is because of my AMA (I'm will be 38 in April) and my history of miscarriage. I will have another one on February 23rd!! 

I can't wait to see these ultrasounds of all the O16 babies!!! 

Edited: cuz I wanted to add the last part.

Congrats on seeing your little blob! I still have almost 4 weeks till my first appointment so I have a while to wait!

Eeeeeee!!!! I am getting my first u/s on Monday at 5w6d. Hoping this weekend goes quickly for once. I am both terrified and excited at the same time 

PrimRoseMama

YAY!!! I am amazed about the HB capture. Usually the HB doesn't start until 6 weeks right? The measurement on the side said 5w5d. I think that's the earliest I've ever seen a heartbeat reported. That's awesome! Hello baby!

Blonde1817

Wow, so exciting!  I can't wait to experience this myself and I'm so excited/nervous for my first appointment.  Unfortunately it's not until March 1st

Awww baby!! So exciting!!

katylady09

Awe so exciting!! That's my DD, too. Love to see yours and think mine is that far, too. Hopefully. I don't have an ultrasound for another month!

This is probably going to be the most random question ever, BUT:

Did the doctor give you a digital copy of your US picture, or did you have to find a way to digitize it? I had a thought about how many people I'd like to give a picture to (Parents, siblings, yada yada), and I didn't know if I would have to make my own copies.

Congratulations! That is an adorable little blob.

We always got print outs and DH would scan them onto the computer.

kaimee072712

This is a print out. I took a picture of it on my phone and pasted it to here. I have heard of digital copies being an option.

Yay! That's awesome. My first appointment is on March 2nd. I'm happy my new place even does an ultra sound around 8 weeks.

Sally1990

Aww so cute! I'm getting my first ultrasound done next Friday, I'll be 6w1d. I can't wait!!!

afry613

missmaehurt

Congratulations! I have my first appointment on 2/16 at 6 wks, I'm going to try and convince them to do an u/s because it's my first. 

eanne9812

Congratulations! SOOO exciting! @kaimee072712 I have my first appointment on 2/23 as well. I'll be 8 weeks and 3 days...for sure should be able to get a HB then! 

katiegeminimoon

I also have my first appointment 2/23! I can't wait  

fitlady21

Beautiful!!

Sammyt86

what about getting scans done on DVD?

_darth

I called and asked if they could save some pictures to my flash drive, and they said it should not be a problem as long as drive formatting was compatible.

Congrats. I don't have an appointment yet for my first ultrasound. I went to see my Dr. this past week and he sent me for bloodwork and said he would set me up with an OBGYN and an ultrasound. I have no idea when this would be but I will call next week and ask. He said he will be taking care of me for the first few months. I don't get to see my OBGYN until probably four months. I am feeling that is all a bit disorganized. I asked when my next appt is and he said come back in a month. Didn't even set up another appt. So a month would be beginning of March. I don't want to wait that long to set up my ultrasound. Not sure the wait time for something like that. I am 5wks 3days right now. 

SnobunnieMel

Had my first internal u/s today. I'm 5w6d but they weren't able to see a heartbeat yet so they want me to come back in a week. + yolk sac and blood flow around it which was promising. Now another super stressful week to wait.

I don't have my first appointment til early March and it's not with my OB. It's an intake appointment with a midwife. I won't get an ultrasound until 12 weeks (if I choose to do the NT scan, if not then 20 weeks) and I won't see my OB until about 15 weeks. What you're describing seems pretty normal to me.

So exciting to start seeing Baby I have my first app with the OB Friday I should be at 6 weeks.

Hello teeny tiny little baby!!

My first appointment isnt until Feb 29th. It feels like that's so far away...

quailbeach

Yahoo!!

I had my first appointment yesterday....was just with the nurse. She asked me a lot of questions and gave me a lot of educational material. I had my blood drawn for tests and gave a urine sample. They are estimating my due date by my period (9/21) but if I use my ovulation date it's 10/2 so we will see what happens. Hope to see the baby at my next appointment with the doctor in 4 weeks!!

Koalamomma3

Such a cute little baby blob  I am loving seeing other lady's pics as I have a long wait! I am also due 10/2 and don't get to see my little one until March 7th! I will be 10 weeks 

OrangeEv

I went to the ER last night due to abdominal pain (digestive related, not baby related) and they did bloodwork and an ultrasound just to check! I convinced the ultrasound tech to print me a picture, but It measured 5w3d so really isn't anything but a bubble. Dr said my hcg levels were on point. 
Next real appt is March 8 but the wait will be easier now! 

_darth

@OrangeEv Yay for bubble! How are you feeling otherwise? Sorry if it's weird to ask, and you absolutely don't have to answer, but I understand the autoimmune disease struggle so I worry. 

OrangeEv

@DarthFuriosa I heard an autoimmune disease can go either way during pregnancy so I am worried, especially since I have been in somewhat remission until sunday. I can't get anything in my body except water right now. It feels like a partial obstruction but the ER Dr didn't want to scan me due to the pregnancy. So I'm taking it day by day.
You have a different autoimmune?
