Ultrasounds!

NYTino24

There seems to be a problem with adding pics and gifs on mobile. It started last night. Hopefully @BumpAdmin is working on it with tech support?

I finally got to have my first ultrasound yesterday! I'm 8w exactly today. There was a strong heartbeat of 179! My edd is 11/24, so the day after Thanksgiving. 

ETA- do I have to be on a computer to post a pic? I can't get it to from my app. 

The app is being a jerk

I had a second ultrasound at 10 weeks yesterday for "peace of mind" after another spotting incident. DH and I got to see the baby move and listen to the heartbeat! It was such a joy - and a relief to know the baby is healthy. The technician said the baby was very active, and I said he or she takes after me

Just found out on Tuesday that I won't be having my first US until May 2nd. I will be almost 12 weeks by then!

Today we had our 3rd u/s at 10+5. Two strong heartbeats and wiggly fetuses. The one on the right (baby b, or "the surprise") was not cooperative so couldn't get a good measurement, but he said they appear to be growing in sync. Best news, this time we could make out a faint membrane between them, so there is hope that they're mono di  

So photo uploads still aren't working?

My little gummy bear at 8+4!

My due date was changed from 11/8 to 11/22! I am 100% sure of last period but since I was breastfeeding ds, must've ovulated late. The later date works out a little better for time off work so it's perfect!

Ultrasound didn't go quite as well as we hoped. I'm only measuring 6 weeks along, but if I go by conception date, that's right. I don't understand the way EDD are calculated when you're not pregnant those first two weeks.  Anyway I'm headed back next week. I also have a small bleed in the placenta but they said that could be nbd. So we wait.

@booksandbeauty sending positive vibes your way!

NYTino24

@booksandbeauty They take that into account when they do measurements, which are calculated from tons of ultrasounds. Also, many / most women don't know when they ovulated, so OBs will often accept anything in a week range of EDD. How do you know when you conceived? Were you temping and doing OPKs? We will keep you in our thoughts!

Had appt #2 this afternoon and doc says everything looks perfect! Bleeding's gone, baby's 4.8cm (~2in), and heartbeat's at 178. I thought it would be a Doppler appt but they did a sonogram (I think to check on the bleeding). So fun to see LO squirming away! Tech kept trying to get baby to move for a better profile pic and baby was playing shy. I think this pic is beautiful!

ETA picture because the app is evil

@zigzag8412 your baby looks like a baby! So sweet! Glad you had a great appointment

booksandbeauty

@NYTino24 thanks for your thoughts! Yes this was a clomid run so we were monitoring everything! Super exhausting. @jess0211 @zigzag8412 and
@DuchessOfCambridge ❤

Got to see the little peanut today because I've had some bleeding. Going to a specialist tomorrow and I'll probably get some great images when we check everything out 11 weeks tomorrow. 

Argh won't let me add the pic. Stupid app. I'll try another way. 

TeacherMama7

@zigzag8412 that's a great ultrasound pic!

Saw our little gummy bear today because we couldn't find the HB with the Doppler. Anyway, here s/he is measuring slightly behind at 8w1d. No EDD change though as my kiddos are always small for gestational age. 

I will add a photo once the damn app allows me to. 

tiptopdragon

At the time of this scan, I was 8w0d. Heartbeat was at 136bpm. Very exciting, this is starting to feel real!

emucoleman

I had a great ultrasound!! The baby is measuring 9 weeks 4 days (so for them it was "behind" although for me it was one day ahead of what I knew based on my ovulation date). I forgot to ask what the heart rate was but we saw the heart fluttering away. You can't really tell from this picture but we saw the baby really clearly and it was so cute! We saw it wiggling its little arms and legs! It was such the most amazing moment. 

Eta: I didn't think the picture attached right, but it did

Wish I could add a pic, today's US looks so babylike!

NYTino24

@pawcall The trick is to take a pic with your phone and email it to yourself. Then you can upload it to TB from your computer. Annoying, but should work.

irishfrisky

We got a second ultrasound today due to some spotting. No signs of bleeding, baby is measuring ahead at 8+6 with a HR of 174! So relieved!  Stupid app won't let me post a photo!

I was able to upload by accessing the bump via my phones browser and then "view desktop version". It's a pain but worked for me!

Here we go, thanks for the tips guys!  9w6d, measuring exactly 9w6d, baby is a kicker   Looking forward to being able to feel that abuse ;-)

misschanandlerbong15

12 weeks they had a hard time getting a good photo with his/her little legs in there because they wouldn't sit still I'm in love with our little bean already!

katiegeminimoon

We had another scan today at 8W and the baby is measuring 8W2D! Plus the heart rate looked good!

QTAMum3

Can't edit my previous post for whatever reason...here is our photo of our little gummy bear.

ineedsixeggs

Thanks for the tip @tashandma !
This was my 8 week ultrasound, but I'm actually 11 weeks now. I'm low risk so I imagine I won't see the little bean again until the anatomy scan. 

ugoglencoco

Ultrasound went fantastic today! She couldn't find my left ovary but said my uterus is probably hiding it. EDD is now 11/21 and heart rate 168 bpm! Was hopeful that the bump fixed the picture issue but they didn't so no pic 

CubsFan7

I had an appointment Friday with an ultrasound. Baby is still measuring a few days ahead and has a great heartbeat of 171.

NYTino24

Ahhhhh! We are starting to have real looking babies!!! 

lck101

Finally had our first ultrasound! Seeing the baby was a totally surreal experience. It sounds super cheesy but it is making some of the crappiness of the first tri feel more worth it. Everything checked out fine, and we heard a good, strong heartbeat so we're feeling pretty thankful.

Baby is measuring a couple days ahead so we're now looking at a Thanksgiving due date!

Airynn Chica

@lck101 yeah for due date pals!

hmriss

I had my first u/s today (9 weeks!) and it went great!! Here is our "teddy bear" lol! The nurse said I've got a "wild one" because it kept moving its little arms and legs! It had a heartbeat of 177 which was great! I measured right on track. We are just elated!

I also have a cyst on my left ovary but they said it wasn't anything to worry about and isn't uncommon in pregnancy.

am+mommy

Baby is perfect! Right on track for our due date and heart beat is 169. We got to see baby dance and wiggle. The technician was able to see the whole umbilical cord from the baby to me which was pretty cool!!

NYTino24

Measuring even more ahead now, probably because LO is stealing all of my energy! HR of 170. Baby was ready to box away the transducer since they did a transvaginal. We were surprised to get to see it via 3D this time! We got a few more pics, including one of the legs where I swear I saw some tiny toes. DH mistook the umbilical cord for boy parts. 

slaven

11+6 but measuring 12+5 (consistently have been ahead), hr 166, saw all the toes, fingers, etc. but didn't get great pics. My next U/S in 4 weeks gets a DVD recording!

NYTino24

@slaven I see eyes and those fingers clenched up in a ball are adorable!!!!

Knottie19640588

Eeeeeeeek!  I just had my first ultrasound and it was amazing!! LO had their back to the machine most of the time, but I got to see the heart beat (175), the baby move, and he or she is measuring right where they should be

bklynchica

We had the 12 week NT scan on Wednesday. Their NT measurements were nice and low - 1.2 and 1.8. Got confirmation that they're mono/di! It was great to see them kicking each other.

Really wanted to post pictures, but the app is still acting up, and I never go on here on the computer. 

captainfoxtrot

11 weeks, 5 days! NT measurement was awesome, .7!  HR was 190. We were lucky we got this pic when we did cause the baby flipped over a couple min later!
