@chucksmom15 @mommaSG I'm due 2/8! But unfortunately I don't get an ultrasound until 13 weeks and then again at 20 weeks. I think I'll go nuts waiting another month and a half so I bought a baby Doppler online in hopes that I can hear something. 

Haha i am there with you on the having to wait part its torture

Got my ultrasound this morning! Officially 8 weeks and baby had a heart rate of 160. Baby is due Feb 6th!!

I have a question for all you ladies who have gotten ultrasounds at 5-9 weeks. Is it your doctor’s standard practice to do ultrasounds that early, did you insist on getting them despite it not being their standard practice, or were there special circumstances? FTM here, and I don’t think my doctor typically does ultrasounds until 12-13 weeks. I’m super bummed about it. Thanks!

@megane0321 Mine only does them for high risk pregnancies, though I'm sure there are other circumstances. I only get them early due to past early losses so my OB can monitor

@ChristmasCookie That's so funny! Good luck in your second US! Just got back from mine and little blueberry still has a strong heartbeat! Thank goodness. I'm so paranoid after years of infertility!

My OB does a dating US between 6-8 weeks for everyone. But all practices are different and waiting is SO hard!

Drs. standard practice to do an ultrasound at 8 weeks to confirm due date, and then a pap smear at 10 weeks.  I was excited for the ultrasound we got the see the baby, his ( projecting ) little head and hear his heartbeat!  My official due date is Feb 2, but by measurements it looks more like Jan. 31, however the Dr. won't officially change the due date unless it's off by over 10 days between size and  Date of last menstral period.  So not excited for next weeks pap smear though

@mamaof5already I got everything done my first appointment. My husband went with me as he had every time, but leaving he said, "I am so glad I'm not a woman." Haha! Vaginal ultrasound, Pap smear, bloodwork. But I was glad to have it all over with!
To the original question, I think each practice is different. My Dr does them early but I think it's for dating and peace of mind. She always tells me seeing that heartbeat is so reassuring.

got to hear heartbeat and see our little bean! Due date is Feb 17th

chucksmom15

Measured perfectly for 8 weeks.  Official due date is 2/7.  Heart rate of 144.  We heard it this time!  

knottiea896e09b55581ef6

Finally got to have our first ultrasound today!!! I'm at 9 weeks and 2 days, and the baby measured exactly that. Heart rate was 161 bpm, and we got to watch the heart beat on the monitor. The baby was bouncing and wiggling on the screen it was adorable. Did anyone else cry at their first ultrasound?!

My chicken nugget at 9weeks HB 168 DS kept saying baby wow baby at the screen. I have a feeling he's going to be an amazing big brother! 

michelle0003

Six weeks, due 2/22/18. We got to hear the heartbeat which was 130. Hearing the heartbeat was so emotional and amazing.

@megane0321 our office does a dating US between 6-8 then usually one at 12 weeks and 20 weeks and that's it unless you go a week over (need to check baby and condition if placenta) or if there are any causes for concern. 

mamakate1616

First US was today, supposed to be 8weeks 5 days but only saw a yolk sack with no baby. They said it's possible I'm just later than I thought but I'm having a hard time going with that since I was temping to determine ovulation date and I got a positive pregnancy test a month ago, just don't know how that works mathematically. Feeling crushed since this is how our 1st pregnancy before DD ended but hoping for the best when I go back next Friday.

@littletrollmama I'm so sorry you are going through this, it must be difficult and the unknown is really tough. I hope that maybe the timing was off and things in your next ultrasound show progression. Take care of yourself

starla

@littletrollmama I'm so sorry. Good luck next Friday. We're here to support you, no matter what. So many creepy internet hugs!

starla

Measuring 1 day ahead at 7w+1d. HR of 143.

@littletrollmama I'm sorry, I hope you get good news at your next visit!

magnolia305

@littletrollmama I'm sorry for the disappointing ultrasound. Sending you lots of positive vibes and hoping for a positive update next week!

I'm 9 weeks ( EDD is February 5th). This was my 8 week ultrasound though I was measuring around 8w2d.

pandappanderson

Ultrasound last Friday measuring at 8w 4d which was a couple days behind what we were thinking but happy to hit the 9w mark today:) 

mrsgunsta

Here's our bean! I went in at 8w3d, but I ovulate super late in my cycle (which I tried to say at my confirmation appt) and now they want to push my EDD from 2/9 to 2/21. I think that's a stretch from when I know I ovulated (we use kits) so I think the 12 week US might tell a different story and put me somewhere in the middle. Either way, baby looks good, heartbeat at 143- so good news either way!

I said I wasn't going to post an ultrasound originally, but I just can't help but show off these two little nuggets. The twins at 8+2. 

onegrownonegrowing

My ultrasound put me right at 6 weeks which was perfect with the timing I had figured. My EDD is 2/23/18. Doesn't look like much yet but the tech showed me the heartbeat (it looked like a flutter on the screen) but it was too soon to measure it. I go back again in a couple weeks to make sure all is well. Have had 2 episodes of bleeding and bad cramping so they want to make sure all is headed in the right direction still. Love looking at everyone's US pics. It's so amazing to watch them grow. 

awhitehead88

Just had our 1st appointment and ultrasound. I am spot on at 8weeks 3 days. EDD is Feb 11. We were super excited to see everything is looking good and there is a strong heartbeat!

lolapop2005

7 ish weeks, hb of 150.. I won't see the dr until the 11th then she can finally give me a due date and I will know how far along I am exactly. Has anyone heard of the ramzi theory to predict sex? I think this would be a girl from what I've read! Obviously I'm not putting a ton of stock in it but it's still fun to guess!

6 weeks even today! Heartbeat 111 bpm

Starynightsky24

Because I know you all want to see inside my uterus! Lol! 9+2

marissajc

6 week 4 days little peanut! Such a relief to see that heartbeat on the screen!  

berryfantasticfour

It depends on the Drs office; mine does one at the first appointment just to confirm a live pregnancy; after that they send me to a diagnostics office to do the ultrasounds because their office doesn't have an advanced ultrasound machine.  But also unless you are high risk then it isn't common to have a lot of ultrasounds.

Here is 6 weeks, this thursday im getting another ultrasound at 10 weeks

copperdragonfly
