So happy to see this little baby. After our first ultrasound last week and seeing just a sac and no baby I was pretty certain we were going to get bad news yesterday! But instead this little was is measuring at 9 weeks(a week older than we thought) and strong heart beat at 170!
We went for an early scan at a private clinic this evening, as we go on holiday on friday & wanted to make sure everything was ok before flying etc & my first hospital booking scan appointment isnt until the 25th.
Got a bit of a shock to find out we are having twins! Both measuring bang on at 9+4 & 9+3, with strong heartbeats & moving around like crazy!
@biolprof not really, ive been quite sick but I was sicker with my first pregnancy with dd. Its different this time in that im constantly queasy but only throwing up a little but last time I threw up constantly & was fine after for a bit. I feel more tired this time too but put that down to having a 2yo. Im 36 so higher probability of multiples but didnt really enter my head til I saw it on the screen today!
@leprechaunlady - Wow, how exciting and definitely a bit of a shock I bet! So happy to hear that they're both measuring where they should be and are healthy. Enjoy your trip!
@leprechaunlady - How exciting and how terrifying at the same time! You will need the strength of a village behind you for the next 1.5 years (maybe longer), but I know you can do it!
@marebear15 thank you! Its so daunting but slowly coming round to the idea. i have amazingly supportive parents who are way ahead of us processing the news & offering all sorts of practical help & support which is amazing but also a little overwhelming!
I had a nromal ultrasound and got a print out of pic of baby. Tech didnt say nething else. Then today I got written results saying something within gestational sac near placenta and gave three possibilities? Anyone ever get anything liek this before? It says possibly a second gestational sac. I was 8 weeks 3 days during ultrasound
@surprisebaby23 - can you call your doctor and ask for clarification? That seems like an odd thing to send without talking to you. It sounds like the tech saw something small and just couldn't tell exactly what it was. I would just call and ask for clarification.
@surprisebaby23 - A tech isn't supposed to tell you anything that he's found. Only the doctor is supposed to explain things. Do you have a follow up appointment? It's likely that whatever the spot was, it was too small to figure out what it was. If it's a subamniotic hematoma, you might spot a little or it might resolve and absorb the blood on it's own. If it's a cyst, likely one that small would also resolve itself in the next few days or weeks. If it was a secondary gestational sac, since it's so small, that baby has probably already passed and your body is absorbing the remains. At any rate, it's hard to know what it was, and they will likely just check for it again on your next ultrasound.
Got to see Baby yesterday! Heartrate was supposed to be on my report, but I didn't see it, but it sounded nice and fast. Baby was measuring exactly 8w2d so I get to keep my due date. It was sleeping and didn't want to wake up no matter how much I coughed.
Finally had our US today. Slight scare since we’re IVF and know exact date. Baby should be 7W2D but measured 6W5D. Heart rate was 129, so we’re cautiously optimistic.
Finally!! Our scan was today and I can breathe a bit easier. Measuring 7w1d heartrate 125. Doctor very pleased with the way everything looks and not the least bit concerned that according to lmp I am 7w6d, especially since i know that i typically dont ovulate until day 16 or 17! Next appointment July 9, as long as everything stays smooth! Love this doc as well!!! This is my first time I've gotten to post a pic, see a heartbeat or anything!!
Finally got to see my baby! Based on LMP I should be 8wk6d but I got my positive a week later so I figured I would be 7wk6d. The baby measured 7wk 1 day so a bit small but doc didn't seem at all concerned. Heart rate was 140 and everything looked good. Since it was news I wasn't really expecting I didn't really get to enjoy but I cried later I think with relied. Didn't realize how much anxiety I was carrying over it all.
Measured 4 days ahead at 8w4d with a hr of 173. And I found out there is a vanishing twin. I’m blown away because I’ve had 3 losses and the RE said I would probably continue to miscarry. Fingers crossed this baby hangs in there. ❤️

I can’t get over this lil baby is in side of me. Measuring right on track as predicted. And so far so good!! Heart rate is 171bpm. I think it finally hit DH that we are having a baby!! Lol.
Had my first ultrasound 2 weeks ago at 7w2d, but had a little spotting scare, so just had an ultrasound done today at 9w2d. Everything’s okay; I can’t get over those little feet!! 🥰😍
