@msever1990 there is a little icon that looks like a mountain landscape with a sun, you can use that to attach a file. Honestly, I have a lot of trouble with the mobile app on this forum so I use my computer and a web browser when I posted my ultrasound very excited to see your pictures!! I love having this community to see everyone's progress, everyone's jelly beans look like happy lil blobs of joy.
I'd love to know the same thing. I'm 8 weeks now, and my first appointment is in two weeks. I was told they don't do ultrasounds unless something is wrong. So I won't get my first one until we find out sex of the baby. It seems so odd.
Hi, I had my daughter when i was 32 years old, now 35 years old (will be 36 when babies are born) I was already considered high risk with my other health issues now my age too. I had my first ultrasound for this pregnancy on March 3rd and found out I am having TWINS! I was shocked! They were measuring 7 weeks 6 days and 7 weeks 4 days. Both had good high heartbeat. Everything looks ok so far. The tech said the round circles are a the yolk sac and other part are the babies. Due date is now October 13th
Ultrasound this morning went well! Baby is measuring a few days ahead (9 weeks) with a heart rate of 179. Definitely more resembling a gummy bear instead of the (cute) blob from a couple weeks ago.
I had an ultrasound this morning and baby was measuring 8 weeks 2 days with a 167 heartbeat! I’m 8w3d so I’m very relieved since I was a little behind last time. I also graduated from my RE today! I hope I never see them again!
I also had my first midwife appt and baby is doing great, measuring at 9 weeks which is exactly what I expected given my O date 😍. Heart rate was 175 bpm and he/she was even moving around! And that was just the “unofficial” ultrasound in the office that the midwife did, I’m going to get the official one at the radiology center in a few hours. Seriously, I’m beyond relieved. I’ve been overcome with anxiety and obsessive thoughts. Also the clinic exceeded my expectations and everyone was so nice, so that’s great too.
Edit to try adding image again. Hoping to get clearer photos this afternoon!
Second ultrasound at 10w3d with a due date of Oct 2 and heartbeat at 175. Baby is face down butt up. Definitely mine. 🤣
Scheduled for a third and fourth US already within the next 4 weeks. Somehow I’m considered high risk at the age of 33 albeit being completely healthy but any chance to see the baby and hear good news I’ll take!
@mcclanna at least it means more opportunities to see your baby! Also, you might want to edit your photo to remove personally identifying information. Too many internet creeps out there.
Had my first ultrasound today at 7 weeks 1 day! Baby is measuring perfectly and had a beautiful heartbeat of 150! Due date is 10/30. I also graduated from the RE and am cleared to make an OB appt.

@sammybays12 my doc told me the same thing but that it’s super common and the body normally absorbs it, or there’s minor spotting. I don’t go back till 4-8 for my 14 week US
I feel like my doc is out of the normal for # of US. I didn’t have one until 9wk6days. Baby was measuring on track with a heart rate of 189. I don’t go back till 15 weeks and then 20 weeks. But I got NIPS blood work done. That’s the only thing in between
Arms and legs and heartbeat, oh my! Oh, and I was instructed to drink 32oz of water but my bladder was too full. Go figure. Had to release half of it, which I did, at which point we got some visual… but then I had to empty completely.
We finally got a good visual on the little sea turtle, and baby was nestled in the back and GREATLY DISGRUNTLED by the amount pressure needed. We were not prepared for the jumping, so that was delightful for both hubby and me. We saw five-six jumps!
I feel much better about my pregnancy and actually connected to this life growing inside of me. My body is officially not faking it!
Hi everyone I’ve been checking on the group every once in a while. I’ve been nervous to post anything. In the past two years I’ve had two miscarriages and it’s been hard. I am about 11 weeks today and had my first ultrasound two weeks ago. And had a strong heart beat which I havnt had in the past pregnancy’s.
My next ultrasound isn’t until 21 weeks and I can’t stop worrying still. What does everyone do hear to help keep your mind from not worrying?
@merostomata@pangolindrome at my midwife check up I had to give two urine samples. They needed me to fill one, hold and wipe up with a baby wipe then do the second one midstream. Definitely put my pelvic floor work to the test 😂😂😂
This was last week at my 2nd ultrasound. Measuring at 10 weeks, 11 weeks today. Heart rate was 178 and baby was moving a lot.
This morning I woke up at 1:00 AM and there was blood when I used the restroom. Doctors said it’s prob spotting and it has now stopped and is just brown. No cramping at all. Anyone else experience spotting? I never did when pregnant with my son.
I had my first US today! Baby is measuring 9W6, but the dr. Is going with my LMP so dated me at 10W1. Baby’s heart rate is at 160 BPM, the doctor said the BPM is “perfect.” It’s so relieving hearing this baby’s heart beat, especially after having a loss ❤️
you can buy a heart Doppler or if there’s a private practice close to you that does ultrasounds so you can see baby in between the physician’s office ultrasounds.
Surprise natural triplets found in my ultrasound 3/14. I cried during my ultrasound while saying to my doctor “that’s too many kids” (I also have a 2 & 4 year already). She tried her best to get all 3 at once.
@jen_third22 it is amazing to see those images with the three babies! Wow. I bet your medical team was amazed too. I'm really excited you're a part of this board and looking forward to following your journey.
I saw your other post regarding the triplets-- I'm sure there is so much going through your head and all the emotions
@spookylittlegrrl Eeeeeee I'm 11w+1d today too so it's extra exciting to see that your little bub looks so much like a baby today! My ultrasound is in a week and I feel like I've been needing to see them looking like a baby to help shake the dissociation I've been feeling.
Had my first ultrasound!!! It was a relief to see the heartbeat of 167 and watch its little arm move around. Baby’s first “hello.” And then…. I had a complete meltdown. 😂 So many tears. I mean, it’s a whole baby!!!!!!!!! What the heck?!?!?!?!? There’s also a forced vulnerability to all this that I’m not used to and didn’t prepare for and I think that caught me off guard too. But here’s the little nugget! In all its cuteness. Measuring 8 weeks 6 days so right on track. 👶🏾
Had a bit of a scare with some spotting yesterday morning. My RE office was amazing and let me come in for a peace of mind ultrasound today since I don’t see my OB until next week. Baby had already doubled in size since Monday and you can see the amniotic sac forming!

I love seeing everyone's sonograms!!! Everyone's little beans are so cute and I'm so happy to share all y'all's joy
I am 11 weeks 6 days, FTM. I have had no idea what to expect tbh, but one thing I didn't anticipate was how much the baby can move around in there and how much we can already see. Baby looked like a little minnow swimming. We even saw baby do a FLIP! It was wild. And baby opened and closed its mouth, like a little bubbling guppy.
This picture I just had to share because I thought it was hilariously adorable. It is a little baby bum with little teeny baby legs
Look at how much baby has grown! 11weeks 1 day. They put the wrong due date date so they said baby was measuring a bit small, but then they realized the due date was off. This baby is measuring right on target! My fiancé says the baby looks like Elvis with a cigarette 🤦♀️😂
FT scan tomorrow and I'm so excited but also trying to shake some major nerves about it. I keep having intrusive thoughts of them telling me something's wrong. I think a lot of this stems from being scared that I have to go alone (and therefore potentially receive bad news alone), because with DS my husband was able to come with me. Appointment's not until 3:30 so I think I'm going to have to keep myself busy until I go so I don't go stir crazy!

Re: Ultrasound Thread
@bows22 woohoo!!! Congratulations, that’s amazing news!

@merostomata yay!! I feel like you’ve been waiting forever and I’m so glad you had an US too!
Scheduled for a third and fourth US already within the next 4 weeks. Somehow I’m considered high risk at the age of 33 albeit being completely healthy but any chance to see the baby and hear good news I’ll take!

I’m impressed you were able to only release half. There’s not a chance my pelvic floor would be able to handle that. I would pee all over everyone.
