Oh gosh!! I see what you mean! I thought you were talking about my profile but appreciate that you noticed it in the photo. I didn’t even think of that! Can I chalk that up to pregnancy brain! Thanks for looking out!!
There's my baby! I was really worried because I had some issues over the weekend, but the little bean measured 8 weeks 4 days, 2 days ahead, with a heart rate of 172.
@ashin121 I'm from Jan16 too and I remember that! Crazy!!!
@KFrob Because of that I stopped posting on Facebook about my pregnancy. Well, since then, I got catfished myself and someone created a fake instagram account with my profile photos. Captions of my sons photos saying "my sweet son" or " I love my family". It was so creepy. So I shut down my Facebook a few months ago.
After 3 consecutive losses ... Here's my rainbow baby. 7weeks 4 days heartbeat: 130 beats per minute measuring farther along (according to lmp 7 weeks 1 day)
6 week ultrasound today...measured 6+4, though. Got to see a heart beat, which was the best thing ever. The relief was short-lived, though. The doctor said miscarriage risk really only would decrease after 9 weeks (if heart beat is still there, of course), so back I go in 3 weeks. After a miscarriage in December, I am trying to stay cautiously optimistic...
@mrsmartinez16 I am not the type to cry at all. My heart usually hurts when normal people cry so that usually tells me it's a crying moment. However I definitely teared today. It was so nice seeing/hearing the heartbeat.
Here’s our blobbaby at 8w4d. Already not cooperating and the tech couldn’t get a better picture. Doctor said everything was perfect, HB of 174, and keeping due date of 10/5.
Here's our little blueberry! Measuring 4 days ahead, but I'm fairly certain of when I ovulated and I tend to make above avg size babies I wasn't able to hear the heartbeat but could see it flickering on screen! So amazing. Tech wouldn't let me have a pic so I took one with my phone. Ha!
Here is our 9+1 (as of yesterday) little babe. He/she was boucing around like crazy and had a great heartbeat of 171. On track for a Oct 1 due date. DD came about a week early so we shall see when this one comes. Very exciting day.
Had my ultrasound this morning and got to see my little bean, measuring exactly on track at 7w with a strong heartbeat of 148! *TW* Hearing that heart beating after my previous two losses was absolutely magical. *end TW* I know we’re not out of the woods yet, but I’m finally breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that at least today, everything is healthy and developing as it should.
Our little nugget! Measured 8w2d, a couple of days ahead. Heartbeat was 168. We didn’t get to hear it for some reason and I didn’t think to ask. But we definitely saw it. In love.
Will post u/s in a bit when I can pull myself back together. Measuring a full week behind (6w3d when we should be 7w3d) and heartbeat at 123. We got to hear it and see it which was cool, but I’m in tears worrying about being behind. Doc said it made sense based on 31 day cycle but not based on OPKs, so she scheduled us for another u/s in 2 weeks. I really was hoping for more confidence from her but she wouldn’t give us a great signal either way.
@chopchop25 don't stress too much. You might just have a small baby! As long as it keeps growing and has the heartbeat you shouldn't worry. It might catch up! Sending positive thoughts!

@chopchop25 I know it's hard, but try not to worry yourself too much. Ultrasounds this early on aren't super accurate since baby is so teeny tiny. I'll be thinking of you though!
@chopchop25 ditto what the others said. I know it’s hard, but try not to worry. You saw a strong heartbeat, which is a huge milestone. With my first pregnancy with DS, he measured a bit behind at the beginning and they had me super worried, but turns out he was just a small baby. I’m sending all my positive thoughts your way though for a good next appt!!
Thanks ladies. H is happy but I’m just having a hard time relying on an idea that either math, science, or technology is off. And I’ve read that early u/s are actually supposed to be more accurate, but who knows. Here is the u/s. Apologies if it’s huge - on iPad.
@chopchop25 with this pregnancy I had the first u/s at 6w6d and they told me I was more like 6w. I was trying not to freak out. I just had the second one at 8w4d and was measuring right on track, so like others have said try not to worry. I also was using OPKs and have a 31ish day long cycle.
@chopchop25 I’ve been where you have. With DD3 I went in at 8w1d and she was only measuring at 7 weeks. They pushed my due date back the full week. We had a few stumbles along the way but made it 38 weeks for delivery. She was on the smaller side at 6 pounds 6 ounces. She’s more than made up for her slow start since then. Now she’s a healthy, obnoxious 1st grader who is currently fighting with me about homework. I will keep you in my thought. I hope everything’s works out.
Holy crap! We already have a set of fraternal twins and a singleton, and now apparently a set of identicals are in our future! Measuring right on at 7+4, with HR of 154 and 152. IVF but we only transferred one embryo, so twins is a bit of a shocker.
@chopchop25 Was your first EDD based on LMP? Mine according to LMP was 10/7, which I knew was wrong because I have a long cycle and ovulated later. According to ultrasound my due date will be 10/15 which is about what I expected. But that's more than a week difference. It's really not a huge deal. It can also change. My friend went in at what she thought was 7 weeks and they told her she was actually 6 weeks. Then she went again at what she thought was 9 weeks and they changed it back to 10 weeks. Ultrasounds can be pretty inaccurate.
@chopchop25 - hugs that it wasn't the reassurance you were expecting. FWIW, some babies grow less consistently and just have huge random bursts of growth (much like toddlers!). That's a good strong heartbeat, and i would take some comfort in that.
@acciocoffee we based it off OPKs and temping. Doc was okay with it making sense with my longer cycle, but agreed it didn’t make sense with OPK.
Definitely trying to keep my head and focus on the heartbeat as a good sign. Two weeks can’t come soon enough! Thanks for all of your support everyone!
Re: AW: Ultrasound Thread!
Well, there’s really a baby in there! Measuring 8wks 5 days, 176 heart rate.
Because of that I stopped posting on Facebook about my pregnancy. Well, since then, I got catfished myself and someone created a fake instagram account with my profile photos. Captions of my sons photos saying "my sweet son" or " I love my family". It was so creepy. So I shut down my Facebook a few months ago.
