@littlewhitecottage yesss!!! Last pregnancy I got one at 5 1/2 weeks and the next one was 13 weeks so i missed the famous gummy bear phase. But this time around my first appoitment isn't until i am 7 1/2 weeks so bring on the gummy bear!

I really wish they gave you a sonagram when u get an ultrasound at the ER. I would have loved our first take home pic of our nugget

mhobbes

Hey girls, here it is! I was 6w0d so the baby was tiny, but we could already hear the heart!

@mhobbes yay!

What is this "gummy bear phase" everyone is talking about?

@kadeephd at 8-9 weeks they start looking like little gummy bears

@runrinserepeat aw ok.  My first ultrasound is scheduled for 8.5 weeks so I should be smack in the middle of gummy bear phase!

omg I'm googling and some of them look EXACTLY like gummy bears! 

borgie05

Omg gummy bear phase is my favorite!!! I still have the photos from when my 3 year old was in the gummy bear phase. So stinkin cute! 

AshleyGemini24

I had my first US Monday in the ER due to spotting. Thank goodness the tech had a heart and confirmed a heartbeat. An hour later, a resident informed us he was waiting for results and that I may be having a miscarriage. Our scheduled US tomorrow. Can’t wait to have a pic to share

CecilB93

@mch195 FX everything goes well tomorrow!

britt-mars

6w4d. Heartrate was 125 and bean is looking perfect. So so excited.

@britt-mars "YAAAAAY!

maureenmce

@britt-mars So glad to hear this, after your cramping and not feeling well! Awesome!!!

britt-mars

@maureenmce Thank you so much! I'm soooo relieved.

CecilB93

@britt-mars you may want to edit your name and info out of your picture  

mch195

Wanted to share my good news! Had my repeat US and I’m back on track. 6w6 days with heart rate of 126. I totally swooned when I heard the heartbeat

amberlane6586

@mch195 that's so good to hear!

I will be 5weeks tomorrow. I have a transvaginal U/S scheduled for Monday. I'll be 5w3d. I'm sure it'll be too soon to hear the heartbeat, but I'm still hoping to!

britt-mars

@CecilB93 Danget, did not even think of that! Thank you, all fixed.

littlewhitecottage

LOOOVVEEE the good news @mch195 and @britt-mars !!!  Thanks for the update!!  

sarahann0787

5 weeks 3 days just seen yolk sac. Going back on the 20th and praying I get to see my little one's heart beating!! 

binxybaby

@sarahann0787  Wouldn't an EDD of December 3rd make you farther along than 5 weeks 3 days or can I just not do math? Wouldn't that make you closer to 7 weeks?

CecilB93

@binxybaby I thought the same thing...

ETA unless the 5w3d is gestational age? Or whichever, I'm drawing a blank, but I know there's two numbers - mom's for how far along in the pregnancy, and baby's for how long it's been growing. Right? Or am I crazy? 

coco2787

I was 5 weeks on 4/13 and I'm due 12/14

Also, @sarahann0787 feel free to introduce yourself on the intro thread and participate in other threads so we can get to know you better!

dutton177

So I went to my first u/s this morning and based on my LMP I'm due 12/5. They took a measurement and said I'm actually 5 weeks 6 days (not the 6 weeks and 5 days I thought) and my due date would then be 12/11. But they said it looked healthy and heartbeat was at 114 bmp. So excited and a little nervous. Anyone know which due date would be more accurate? I don't go in for my next appointment until the beginning of May. 

amberlane6586

I had my first ultrasound today.  I measures at only 5 weeks, which wasn't a big surprise because I thought I may have ovulated a couple of days late. 
Only the sac was visible, but the tech told me not to worry. She assured me that is normal at 5 weeks. 
I have a follow up ultrasound on 4/27

I've been listening to/reading some pregnancy/baby books lately and from what I heard/read, it seems like the dating ultrasound is more accurate, especially for women who have irregular cycles. Not sure if that applies, but my guess is your doctor will go by the ultrasound date.

+1. Though I'll say that my OB doesn't change the EDD unless the dating u/s moves it more than 6 days, so your doctor may decide to just stick with what you've got. I was 6 days off during my first pregnancy (and that was accurate according to my charting, which was pretty clear), but my OB left with with the EDD that was 6 days earlier. 

AGK2015

6 weeks, 5 days, and my embryo appears to be wearing a hat. Quite excited to see that little heartbeat this morning!

maureenmce

@AGK2015 Yay! Such great news! And love the hat, haha.

westcoastfoodie

Measuring more like 6weeks instead of 7, but baby looks good, nestled high in my uterus which made getting the heartbeat difficult, but we were able to see it nonetheless. 

westcoastfoodie

I don’t know where my pics went!

maureenmce

@westcoastfoodie YAY!  Awesome news! Are they going to change your due date at all or keep you the same for now?

littlewhitecottage

@westcoastfoodie @AGK2015 Ahhhhhhh amazing!!! So happy!

westcoastfoodie

@maureenmce I’ll Hear back from my doc within a few days, but I’m sure she’ll end up changing it since it’s a whole week off. I’m ok with that though as long as it’s healthy! A little bummed I blanked on asking what the heart rate was, but it looked a healthy pace. I suppose if anything’s wrong I’ll know in a few days. 

mag1cbeli3ver

Baby bean @ 7 weeks 3 days! Measured a few days ahead at 7 weeks 6 days, and had a beautiful heartbeat at 163 bmp! Made me cry to listen to it!! EDD 12/1
