@countrygirl624 Like @mag1cbeli3ver said, we are all EDD Dec 1. I love seeing that picture - it's nice to think my baby should look something like that today
@ab_canada and @mag1cbeli3ver thank you both so much for the kind words! I am so thrilled for this double rainbow baby!! My next ultrasound is June 8. When are you ladies going back in?
we had our first appointment and ultrasound today. using my LMP i’m at 8w4d but my cycles are typically only 21-23 days so i calculated that i was closer to 9 weeks and sure enough, baby measured at 9 weeks this afternoon! even so, my doc opted to keep my due date in line with my LMP so we’re looking at 12/15 which is fine by me. it’s all just so exciting!
baby was hiccuping and moving around like crazy while we were in there and we could see the heartbeat flickering. so awesome!
@countrygirl624 I have an ultrasound next week for the first trimester screen (genetic abnormality testing) but after that nothing until July 13. I don't know how I will be able to wait that long!
Was hoping for a gummy bear pic but baby didn’t want to cooperate. Here’s our little blob, measuring 8w1d. HB was 167. Official due date is now 12/18.

@ab_canada Holy smokes! You’ll be almost ready to find out the sex by then!! Hope your screening test goes well. I decided to opt out of all of them - I said what will be will be! Good luck!
@countrygirl624 That's exactly it! In the beginning, they only schedule for viability/dating, first trimester screen, and anatomy scan. That's it until you get further along and then I'm not too sure.. But I have a doctor's appointment today and will ask how I'm supposed to know that everything is ok. They can probably tell by the hormone levels, so maybe there will be more bloodwork scheduled in between..
@ab_canada They’ll probably also check the heartbeat at most of your appointments. That’s how it was for me anyway. You don’t get to see them but hearing that heartbeat is definitely reassuring.
@ab_canada Thats how my doctor does it, too. Typically you come in for paperwork at 8 weeks and ever 4 weeks after that to hear the heartbeat. You do not typically get an ultrasound until 20 weeks.
Hi everyone I was holding off posting much as I was so nervous about this baby. My ultrasound today showed my rainbow baby perfectly measuring 8 weeks 1 day!! Heartbeat of of 172!! 1 day ahead and I couldnt hold the tears when I heard that heart beat!! ❤❤❤ Thank you all for sharing and so so happy for all of you. For those still waiting for US...the wait is so worth it!!
I heard my babies heartbeat at 6wks 6days and then i had a threatened misscarriage and went back to the doctor this past Monday- and I was 9weeks and 4 days! Thanking God everything was ok and i got to see my upside down baby and hear the strong heartbeat again! Little nugget was kicking their legs and even waved! I LOST it!! I am not 10weeks and 1 day and I go back for another ultrasound next week at 10weeks 6days!
I forgot to post this after I had it done. But here is my little Jellybean at 8 weeks and 4 days from May 3rd! Heartbeat was in the 170s. I am so in love. ❤️ Next ultrasound is August 2nd when I find out what I am having!
@katy0990@rosebud332 You are right. I just had a Dr's appointment yesterday and they confirmed that they will use the Doppler starting with the next appointment, and regular appointments are every 4 weeks for now.
Finally made it to my first ultrasound and Baby is healthy and measuring 8 weeks 5 days! HR was 164 and it was amazing to see and hear! i seriously feel like a weight has been lifted just seeing and hearing the baby!
I had my first ultrasound yesterday! It was at the ER because i started spotting and I had some swelling in my abdomen, so my doctor told me to go to the ER. They wouldnt give me a copy of the damn picture believe it or not (something about privacy issues), and I felt so bad for my partner because it was his first day at a new job so he couldn't be with me
Anyway, I have loved seeing all of you guys' ultrasound pictures!! It has gotten me soooo excited and I had been dying to see baby!! I have my first official one next wednesday. Baby measured yesterday at 11w2d with a HR of 174 and while the tech was doing the ultrasound, baby did a little bounce/jump, which of course made me cry because it was so stinkin' cute! Thanks for all the wonderful ultrasound pics, ladies!!!
This is my third ultrasound. First where baby actually looks like a baby. This is from yesterday where I was 9 weeks. Baby measure a few days behind at 8 weeks 4 days. But we will be keeping the 12/17 due date.

I was so disappointed they don't do ultrasounds here in the office! They schedule them for as soon as there is an opening in radiology. I asked if they could fit me in today, and she said they only do that if the dr orders STAT, which they won't do unless it's medically necessary. I started crying and told them why I wanted it today, (today is my son's first birthday, who we lost in August, and I purposefully scheduled for today for some joy today and to use the u/s pic to announce), and she got the dr for me again and the dr changed it to stat for me because of "loss history". Baby looked perfect, although I was hoping to see more of a gummy bear! Lol and HR was a nice 167.
@tumbleweed-1, @morgantu, @musicalmommy3 thank you! Once I got in and laid down for the scan I was so anxious! I kept trying to catch a glimpse of the heartbeat while she was checking everything else out, and I couldn't really see. At one point she was measuring the baby and it came up 8w2d, which is a day ahead, but it still took a minute for me to finally see the heard flickering away!! Huge moment of relief!!

You are right. I just had a Dr's appointment yesterday and they confirmed that they will use the Doppler starting with the next appointment, and regular appointments are every 4 weeks for now.
They did review my ultrasound and found a cyst in my left ovary and a subchorionic hemorhage. Does the worrying ever stop???
