Ultrasounds

jlemons-2

I stole this from November.  Thanks November!

This thread is for pictures from our ultrasounds throughout the next nine months!!!

If you have an upcoming u/s appointment, please don't tell us here.  You can share that in the weekly appointment thread and/or your ticker change thread to help us keep this one relatively clean. 

Please check your picture before sharing to make sure that any personal information you don't want to share with everyone is covered up.

Some love to start their own threads to AW happy moments.  That is fine too!  Also please share the picture in here if you feel so inclined.  There are never too many places to celebrate these little ones and their mamas.  

@bumpCaitlin @bumpTara @bumpAdmin can we sticky this thread please.

ETA: I hit post to quick. This was at 6 weeks and change. I have a video of the heartbeat they gave me as well. Can't wait to see all the Dec17 babies!

Our little pea!  This was done at 5 weeks 6 days.

This was an incredibly stressful ultrasound as the tech told me 'there is no baby' without any explanation. Had to wait two days for doctor to tell me I am just two weeks earlier than expected - needless to say it was not a happy experience. Will post in two weeks my new one!

jlemons-2

I'm loving these ultrasounds!! 

@yarleenr I'm sorry that tech treated you that way. Not okay. 

yarlk

@jlemons-2 thank You, I appreciate your words.

mamabear0528

@yarleenr That's awful! Glad everything turned out okay though!

Hi girls, I had a first ultrasound at 5weeks + 6days, I dont know I was asked to come so soon and doctor told me he cannot see the embryo yet, maybe only the sign of yolk sac :-/ and the size is like 6w 1d
I would like to attach a pic, but does not work :-(

MrsGinter

@yarleenr I'm sorry that happened... that's why doctors take a second look!

@lin24-2 I went in at the same time and only saw a yolk sac. Doctor said it's normal and we will see hb next time I go in. Some people do see the baby at that time and some don't but go on to have healthier pregnancies. 

lin24-2

Can everyone attach a pic please?

@lin24-2 then mobile app is having technical difficulty attaching pics right now

This was 5W4D (last Friday). We saw the faintest flicker of a heartbeat.

Hello everyone! I love seeing all of the ultrasounds, and hope everyone has a happy and healthy 9 months!! I go in tomorrow (6w5d) for my first u/s, and am wondering what to expect. I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask - still learning the rules of The Bump! Can I expect to see a heartbeat? I hope to have my own u/s to add tomorrow!!

NME44

@midwestmomma91, you should be able to see a heartbeat by then 

midwestmomma91

@NME44 here's hoping!! Thank you

We had a great ultrasound today. I am 7+3 and baby measured 7+5 with a 160 HR. I am an IVF mama so my days pregnant are exact. My RE released me to go to my regular Obgyn and I will see them tomorrow.

midwestmomma91

Had my u/s today! Based on my lmp I'm 6w5d, but I have very irregular periods and wasn't sure when I ovulated. Today the baby measured at 5w6d, but she found a strong heart beat of 131! I can't seem to attach an image using the app, hopefully I can add it later!

Congrats!  I'm also a ivf momma and don't go back for my 2nd ultrasound until may 1st. Can't wait to be released to my regular dr

jljeanblanc

@blairbecky78 I couldn't help but notice your U/S was from Wash U...are you in STL too?

blairbecky78

This is my only ultrasound so far which is such a different experience than my last pregnancy. I also only had 2 betas a week apart. My RE just didn't order as much this time.

ShyTonia

Happy Friday everyone! Here is my US from yesterday! I tried uploading from phone and it wouldn't let me! This is our 2nd US to see our lil babe and everything looks great! This is just still so very unbelievable! Seeing a little bean actually grow in the sac is just amazing! Here's to a healthy happy nine months to us all!

vvitchhazel

@bumpadmin Can we sticky this???

jljeanblanc

@ShyTonia this is the first Dec17 one that is starting to look like a baby! Mine yesterday at 6w1d was still just a blob. How exciting!!!!!!

ShyTonia

@jljeanblanc I know right!?  It's becoming more and more real every time I look at it hehe. It's amazing the difference from 10 days ago! I'll have to do a side by side to show the growth spurt in just ten days!!!!
im sure your blob is a very cute blob.  Hehe

ShyTonia

And can I just say it's a shame we can't just request more USs...ya know for the fun of it! But then again I'd probably be there every week 
Now I have to wait till 5/23 for 12 week scan! Ahhhhh 

blairbecky78

@jljeanblanc I am from Southern Illinois but St. Louis is the closest for me.  

vvitchhazel

@blairbecky78 Curious where you live! My cousin and her husband lived in Wood River for a couple years. She went to SIUE and he went to the SIU School of Dental Medicine in Alton. 

jljeanblanc

@blairbecky78 small world!

blairbecky78

@vvitchhazel I actually live near SIUC which is much more south.

I had my first OB appointment and they scheduled me for an US tommorow afternoon !!!! Yeah !!!!! I'll be one day shy of 8 weeks. I hope everything goes well and I'll try and post the pic.

Had my ultrasound yesterday.  Babe was measuring exactly what we thought, 6w 3d.  Heartrate was 125. 

midway_mouse

**TW due to previous loss** I had my first ultrasound yesterday and baby measured 6w 3d, which is completely off our EDD, which is 7w 5d. After the appointment, I realized that I ovulated late and this was my first period following a miscarriage, so it was a bit wonky. But that only makes up 4-5 days, not the whole 9!!! I am freaking out a bit, as I have had 2 losses (a stillbirth and a late first trimester miscarriage). I guess I am having a hard time feeling excited about this baby as I don't trust that it will stick around. The good news is that we did hear a heartbeat and the dr. said he is not concerned at all. I am trying to remind myself of his words every time that I have a fear pop up. 

AMCsquared

I have my first US on Friday when I'll be 7 weeks 5 days. Can I just say that I'm nervous in fear of bad news? Am I being paranoid or is this normal? I have felt like it won't be real until my US confirms that everything is ok.

TigerCakes

@AMCsquared I think it's completely normal to be nervous.  With my first pregnancy with my son I was blissfully unaware of everything that could go wrong and wasn't nervous at all.  ***TW*** After what happened with my DS and us almost losing him and then having a miscarriage I am now terrified at every appointment.  I don't think I will feel better until I start feeling the baby move and even then I don't think I'll fully relax until I have a baby in my arms. ***End TW***. Good luck at your appointment Friday!

katiegeminimoon

Finally remembered to do this when I was at my desktop (stupid mobile)! This was last Friday! Measuring 2 days ahead with a good heartbeat 

AMCsquared

Thanks @TigerCakes ! If only we could eliminate all reasons to worry!
