Saw our little nugget yesterday with a strong heartbeat and measuring on time, so keeping our due date of 10/10. Such a relief to see this and it gets me through the rest of this trimester!
That's so brutal! I think it's super unfair that some docs only provide one! We had our first at 6 weeks, I feel like that should be standard bc it takes sooo much pressure off once you see the embryo for yourself and know it's healthy!
Had our ultrasound & doctor moved due date up by 2 days. 8 weeks6 days is what he said I was. Surprisingly we saw more than a blob. Heart was fluttering and little limbs we're moving back & forth. Not what I was expecting at all.
This was our US at 6wk6. Heart beat at 149. I will go back in four weeks for a repeat. We are high risk due to two previous losses and progesterone issues but we are just praying for a healthy pregnancy this time.
we had ours a bit early at 6wk+5d thanks to a spotting scare. They say they saw the heart beating...so relieved about that since it was too early to hear it. We'll have to wait for the NT scan to see baby again.
@kimiekat44 That's what I've read too! I'll have to ask at my first appointment, which is next week. I'd rather not announce until I've seen a healthy ultrasound, but by 18 weeks I'll already be showing. It seems so strange!
Had our first appointment and ultrasound today! Baby was measuring 8w6d (due date 10/6), which is consistent with when I thought I ovulated, but they are keeping my due date at 10/2. I'll take the few extra days
@jessirh, where I live, the norm is 1 ultrasound done at 20 week anatomy scan. Unless you're high risk. I had an early scan this pregnancy because of a previous loss, but otherwise we would wait until 20 weeks. Our first appointment here normally isn't until 12 weeks.
If your doctor is anything like mine, they will use a Doppler to confirm a strong heartbeat. That's what mine did with DS. Every appointment we listened to the heartbeat. Best sound in the world!
@kimiekat Nope, I wish! I clarified and they said no ultrasounds til then. But at least I'll find out the sex at the first one lol
@mommac2017 Oh wow. I hadn't heard of that being the norm anywhere. But getting to hear the heart rate via the Doppler would be fine with me. I'm really just concerned with knowing it's healthy, so that would help.
Thanks guys! Everyone keep the baby scans coming ❤️
I'm baaaaaack! Today was my last appointment with my RE....it was bittersweet. I got to see my little one moving those little arms and legs ...kicking and dancing all over the place. It was amazing!!!!
Baby was measuring about 3 days behind on my last U/S but today he's right on target with a strong heartbeat! I was supposed to see my OB today but had to reschedule due to my confusion with getting records from my RE. Seeing this little one all snug and happy will be enough to hold me over for another couple of weeks though

Beautiful pic @SwtAnana I can't believe what a difference a couple of weeks makes there is so much definition. Also would you mind sharing what the fetal heart rate has been the last couple of U/S

had my u/s this morning it was suppose to be the last before I meet with my reg OB next Thursday. But I was a bit concerned and RE said she would see me again next Thursday before OB appt due to the fact the baby was measuring a day behind last Friday and today it was measuring 3 days behind the HR is still in the 130s which RE says she is comfortable with because it's in the normal range. RE said she was not too concerned but would have been happier if I was umeasuring on target. I'm so worried now not sure what to think. Has anyone has had a similar experience?
@cherrybea, how far along are you? I feel like is super common for baby's to not measure right on track. My DS measured 5 days behind at my first US with him. By our 20 week US he measured a week ahead. He's now sitting next to me playing.
Hope everything goes well. Everything I've read says a strong heartbeat is most important
@mommac2017 thanks for your feedback it makes me feel much better. I should be 8 weeks today but u/s measured 7w3d HR was 130 it was 133 last week as well doc was ok with HR within range but I thought it should have gone up from last week
@cherrybea, that was EXACTLY my measurements with DS. Thought I was 8 weeks and they said I was 7w3d. My OB just changed my due date. I can't remember what his heart rate was at that point unfortunately, but I know it went down a bit by the next appointment. His heart rate fluctuates every appointment. I never heard them say anything of concern of it going up or down. I think concerns are really raised if it is lower than 100 or higher than 200.
Try to relax (I know that's easier said than done). You saw a healthy baby and a good heartbeat. Your doctor would tell you if there was a reason to be concerned.
Saw my little bean for the first time yesterday. Measured in at 8w (although by my O date, should have been 6w6d). Dr is keeping my LMP EDD since the measurement isnt more than 7 days off. So new EDD is 10/10.
So happy for everyone! STM : did you get to keep your NT sonogram photos? We got our first sonogram at 6wk so it's a little black blob and the next one isn't until wk 20!!!!! My NT is scheduled for 13wk so I was hoping to use that photo to announce to the family. The office won't return my calls ugh
9 weeks and growing so much! Heartbeat was great today and it was up and MOVING! We saw it wiggle its arms and legs and it even kicked and lifted its booty
Heard my little bean's HB today with a sense of wonderment. 6W6D from last period but measuring 6W4D from the scan. CRL at 7mm, HB at 116 bpm and EDD 27 Oct. My gynae said everything looked normal which was a huge relief to me.
Re: Ultrasounds!
Just found out my doctor doesn't do ultrasounds until week 18. That seems unbearably far away!
ETA: how far along are you?
What about the NT scan??? According to the literature I've read and my Dr, it HAS to be done between 10 and 14 wks!
