I forgot to share last week, but my husband and I had our first U/S on April 9th and we were so thankful to see that pumpkin is doing well. I was 10 weeks and 2 days and our baby had a heart rate of 167 bpm. He/She did not move around very much but I just thought maybe they were just taking a nap. Next time I'll try to drink some orange juice before my ultrasound so that I can see my baby dance a little.
Congratulations on all your little bundles of joy!
@mockingjay1 Thank you! I'm still freaking out a bit, lol! Have not been on the boards. That's good to know!! They also think they are mono-di (two sacs, one placenta) so that could pose a problem too. It's going to be a whole different ball game, that's for sure! FX for you as well, mama!
I'm supposedly 8 weeks 3 days, but mine measured 7 weeks 2 days at my first appointment yesterday. Heart was beating away, though they didn't have the capability to tell me how fast... My next US in three weeks should be better. The baby was also hidimg behind the wall there and didn't seem to want to come out!
So relieved that the pregnancy is viable... I was so pessimistic and certain it wasn't, simply because this is my first time and I almost always assume the worst. But now I feel so much better
Not a great picture this week. I saw a different doctor and while she was very good and nice, I could tell she wasn't there to get me great pictures! So this is Baby Bear at 8 weeks, 2 days with a HB of 174.
Little one showed a solid week of growth and is still measuring right on track for 8 weeks. Heartbeat was 174 this week (up from 134 last week). Listening to it was like music to my ears!
Sonogram from 9wk4day! 173bpm heartbeat it was transvaginal and we aren’t finding out gender! So I’m curious if anyone can read it for the Ramzi method!!!
So we think im going to be 11 weeks tomorrow and my dr office wont let me do an ultrasound till April 30th. Ill be 12 weeks then. Does anyone else find that strange? I see all your ultrasound pics and i cant wait to get my first ultrasound.
@karidemers I am not sur about everyone else, but I see a fertility specialist. Once you get pregnant the do a scan every week until 11 weeks then I go to a regular OB where I will have to wait . Although I am considered high risk so at some point in the late 2nd/early 3rd I will be getting scans every week again.

No, it's not weird. Consider yourself lucky because it means you probably haven't had infertility treatments or losses. All doctors operate differently. Some do early dating scans and some don't. The further along you get your ultrasound, the more you'll be able to see, so it will be more exciting watching the baby move around. April 30th is not too far away, you can make it!
Had our second u/s Friday (9w6d). Heart rates were: Twin A -180, Twin B -175. B is still trying to hide. It’s amazing to me how much they’ve grown in just a few weeks. Doc said our goal is to make it to 37 weeks. They are in two separate sacs but it is still too early to tell if they will be sharing a placenta. With as crappy as I feel, I’m really hoping I’m supporting two placentas! Hahahahaha Currently 10w1d. Another scan in four weeks!
12w1d Baby was measuring right on track with a HB of 154. So excited that the growth looked perfect and that my fibroid hasn't grown much (It's the portion hanging down into the uterus)
Got to see baby last Friday at 12 weeks for my NT scan. Baby looks and measured great with a heartbeat of 173bpm. I CAN. NOT. get over the piggie toes in the top right.
Loving that all the little blobs are looking more like little babies!

@bqtmom25 I actually don't know what it is. The tech didn't mention it. I didn't notice it until after the pictures were printed and I was out. It kinda look creepy! But I'm sure you have the right idea about what it is.
My husband and I have always thought it would be cool to have twins. We weren't expecting it this time around though. This was suppose to be our "fourth and final". HAHAHA I'm currently MISERABLE so having twins isn't actually as appealing as I thought it would be! I'm hoping the sickness and complete exhaustion passes very soon.
Saw the little one better than ever before today! Starting to see the little arms and legs which is making me uncontrolably happy! Great little heartbeat at 174 again. 8w6d today.
Got to see our little ham today! Anatomy looks great with a 161 HB. Little baby was rolling and flipping around. So amazed at the progress! All is looking good! So in love!
@eahayes Thank you! Can't wait to see you post your pic and see all the growing baby has done. It happens so quickly! Is it too early to use the cheesy line: "They grow up so fast!" ? Haha.
I forgot to post a couple weeks ago. We had our first ultrasound. Measuring 10 weeks (12 this week) heart beat was 182. So exciting seeing the little legs kicking!
Here is our baby bear! 9 weeks, 1 day. Measuring 8 weeks, 4 days (doctor said that is fine!) HB is 176, got to see him/her moving and wiggling around today!
Does the gestational sac look small? The doctor didn't say anything about it so maybe it is just the camera angle but it just doean't look like a lot of room!
12w2d NT scan. Baby is growing on track and kept putting their hand up to their face. Already dramatic like DS. Also confirmed anterior placenta, so I might not feel movement as early as I did with DS.

Got to see our little vampire today! 12+5 and was happy to find out the results of genetic testing came back above normal! The baby is measuring perfect and had a 160 heart rate.
Second ultrasound appointment this week makes for a spoiled mommy. 9w2d, heartbeat exactly the same as last two scans at 174. Love this little one so much
Had had my first OB appointment today and they said no US with them until at least 18 weeks! I was super bummed so we make an appointment this evening at a US place so that we could see the baby! Totally worth it!

Had our 12wk NT scan yesterday. Baby was measuring consistent with 12wks6d which is about 4 days ahead of previous dating. Was pretty amazing to see - especially as a first time Mom
Our blob at 10 weeks! Next us is at 12 weeks- can’t wait for that and to feel more out of the “danger zone”. Hope the pic isn’t too big- it’s from my phone
From last Friday when I was 12+3. Sweet baby caught up and actually gained a day in size. For some reason, that made me feel like all of my feeling like crap was beyond worth it, because baby was growing like crazy. It always amazes me how much you can see so early on.
9wks0 I thought I was 2 weeks ahead of what the size is showing - I could be wrong though, as my cycles aren’t very regular. Another scan in 2 weeks should hopefully ease my mind. How awesome is it to hear the heart beat?
