First ultrasound today! Baby Girl is 5+5 but measuring 6 and she has a heartbeat!!!! Seeing that tiny little flicker was truly the most beautiful thing.
Kept spotting, so doctor had me come in for an earlier u/s. All looks good! Measuring 6 weeks 0 days, heartbeat 111. That makes the due date my DH's birthday- 3/29! SCH caused the spotting, but it is small and doesn't look like it should cause a problem. Back in two weeks!
My first US is today in 2 hours. I am very nervous for some reason. I hope to return gushing about a strong heart beat and healthy growing little bean.
Guys, this sweet little bean looked just like a baby! Opened its mouth, moved its little legs and kept putting its hand up to its mouth. Heart rate was 167. DH is convinced it's a boy and it's long arms means "he" will play football. Ha! I still say girl. My due date was changed again, putting me at 11+3. But I'm not leaving because I like you all too much! Also discovered placenta is anterior again. She couldn't find the SCH so she said if it's there it's very very small. Praying baby continues grow and is healthy.
Hiiiii!!! Here's our little angel. I'm so extremely realieved. The baby has a strong heatbeat at 177 bpm. The baby measures at 8 weeks. Which is around what I expected. (8 weeks 2 days). I'm over the moon!!
Just had our ultrasound! Was feeling a bit nervous because I was feeling like I was losing some symptoms, but baby is perfectly healthy! Measuring 7w4d so we do have a new due date of March 19! And a heart rate of 161! So relieved to see this little nugget this morning!
I love the heck out of every single post that says, "I was nervous because I was losing symptoms but everything is good." It really helps my stress level.

So my first official US is Monday, but since I work at a hospital I took a little sneak peek on Friday and saw and heard the heart beat! ❤️ I've been so nervous because I've had zero symptoms besides my boobs getting bigger. I'm about 7 weeks(excited to get the official due date Monday) with heart rate of 130! The best sound in the world!
This was 8 weeks 4 days, I am 9 weeks 6 days today. Heartbeat was 182, which seems high but the doctor said everything looks good. If you had told me 10 years ago that one of the best moments of my life would be lying on a table while a lady waved around a funny wand in my vagina while I cried, I would have been confused, but it was absolute magic. My best friend says my baby looks like a little penis wearing elf shoes, which I like very much.
First appt was today!! Got to see my sticky baby. My suspicions of ovulating early were confirm as I'm a week ahead of where my LMP had me. So new due date is 3/9! Heartbeat was 148 and baby was having a blast squirming all around and trying to touch its face.
So this morning I went in to my RE's office for an ultrasound, the normal sono tech who i've known for almost 4 years wasn't in and the substitute one was in, I am not a fan of hers, she counted my follicles wrong during this cycle and my RE had to come in and re-check everything. So I asked if the NP in the office would come in with me, she said of course and boy am I glad I did. Last week at 5w3d they only saw a sac, which ok I was a little concerned with but didn't think much of. Today as the sono tech was doing the scan she blurted out, "I see 3 pockets of fluid but have no idea why they said they saw a sac last week when I see nothing today". The NP told her to move to the side and not say another word, of course at this point I was terrified. The NP found the sac, said she definitely saw something inside and saw a flicker but needed to measure it. She did say I'm measuring a couple days behind and that the dr would talk to me about it. When I went in to see the DR he wasn't concerned at all, said that there was definite growth and all my hormone levels were good so he thinks we just have a slow grower. Has anyone heard of this before???? I go back in on Saturday to take another look. Just a frustrating morning.
@bookworm40. You are still so early. All my boys have measured behind at first and catch up within a couple weeks. They are all very healthy today. The really good news is that the baby is developing like normal. I am sure everything is great. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
@bookworm40 if the doctor isn't concerned, I would try not to be as well. That US tech sounds awful. I'm not a complainer, but I would 100% mention it to the doctor or file a formal complaint.

Oh I raised hell with my dr about her. It's now on my chart that she is not to do my scans. I mean that's fine for me but I feel for anyone else that has to go through it. He was not happy to say the least.
First appointment today. EDD March 27! Heart rate 141. They said he/she was already moving around quite a bit! Is it just me or does my baby look like a tiny whale? Haha
@JoiaBot. It is still so early. My two year old didn't even have a hb at 5w5d and a fetal pole wasn't even visie.. A week later he was measuring perfectly. Stay positive and I am praying all is ok.
This gives me some relief. I THOUGHT I was about 6.5 weeks, but it looks like I'm not after all. My Dr. did a transvaginal US yesterday and although she found the yolk sac, she didn't see anything else yet. She didn't seem super concerned & said it's still pretty early. Me on the other hand, I cried a lot. After taking a semester of OB in nursing school last semester all I can think about is a blyted ovum.
I gave blood yesterday and go back Wednesday for more labs. Next Thurs is another US.
@Missyisanemt they told me one of my son's was a BO and obviously he very much wasn't with his two year old self today. You have a good doctor that knows it is early. Fingers crossed for you everything is great and you see a reassuring hb next time.
157 beats per minute and measured at exactly 8 weeks, which is exactly the same time based on my LMP. Official Due Date: March 20, 2018 Sooooooo EXCITED!!!
Hey ladies! Been awhile since I posted.... and I'm not sure all my post showed up lol! But I'm due March 3rd, baby is measuring a week bigger so we will see! This is our first after 7 years of infertility and it has been such a blessing. We recently lost my grandmother and my baby is due one week before her birthday. Here's hoping baby is as cool as she was!
@crossfitbabybump It's pretty normal, especially for our Canadian friends. Many of us who have had USes already are coming from an RE, have had prior losses, or have some other specific reason. Others, it's just a matter of their doctor's preference. Mine does like to do one around 8 weeks just to make sure everything is progressing as it should but there are plenty of very competent doctors who don't. Some people don't even get one until the anatomy scan unless they're having a hard time finding a HB on the doppler. If I were you, I'd be bummed out but not stressed out.

Just had my ultrasound today!! Measuring at 8 weeks exactly today - just a day off from what they thought. Everything looked good and our little nugget's heart was beating away - 175bpm! I was so nervous bc I had some bleeding yesterday but the doctor said I just have a tiny (her words) subchorionic (sp?) hematoma that should resolve itself. I bawled like a baby when she said she could see the heartbeat. ❤

WOO SAH!
First ultrasound gives me a due date of 7 March. ((9 + 1 weeks)) PGAL brain + pregnancy means I cried when I heard the heartbeat.

I can't wait to see and/or hear my baby. Is it normal that they didn't do any of that at my first appointment at 8w 1d?
