@krthouse I have my NT Scan on Monday and I also have to go alone and I've been SO anxious. I will be thinking of you! Hang in there and stay distracted.
Ultrasound yesterday showed a ton of growth from the last scan. Measuring at 8w3d with HR of 171, and I got to hear it this time! Love that you can see the arms and legs now, and the little critter was waving them around and kicking like crazy the whole time.
@krthouse thinking of you today!! I would also be terrified about going alone. Is YH able to go with you still and wait in the car? I’m sure you will have a great scan though!
Thanks for all the love, mamas! Baby is looking great and even waved hello for me. Not sure when my results will be ready since I had a late Friday appointment but seeing baby helped calm my nerves so much. 12w+2d
Saw baby for the second time today. Heartbeat was 169bpm at 11w 5d. Baby was moving like crazy and even looked like he/ she was doing some boxing moves (Daddy and big sister love boxing). Has anybody had an ultrasound and not get estimated growth? Baby was measuring 2 days behind at our last appointment so I was curious if baby had caught up or was still behind.
Hi all! Had my NT ultrasound today but it was kinda different I think because I chose to get my NIPT test done as well (all results came back lowest risk). At the ultrasound, I couldn't see the screen and the tech just started laughing which was a bit worrisome. Finally, I asked what was going on and she said that the baby "won't stop playing and dancing". lol. This is 12 weeks and 4 days.
Had our first trimester screening yesterday! Here is our little one at 12w3 days. I was so shocked I was not expecting to see a whole BABY!! FTM here clearly lol. Did my blood work (NIPT) hoping results come back low risk but was so nice to see baby move and that heart beat! See my OB again April 25th
@ccarri01 You got such a great clear printout!!! I remember with my first being shocked by how much baby already looked like a whole baby in there. Such a trip!
I had a nice surprise on Tuesday at my first prenatal appointment. I figured they would try to find the hb with the doppler first (I was 11w3d) but she just did an ultrasound! HB was 159, and baby was moving around like crazy!
I am currently getting weekly ultrasounds so I will save you all from weekly updates but my nurse got a great picture and I wanted to share. Little man is measuring 11w2d, heartbeat of 167 but it was hard to get because he was doing somersaults ❤️ They checked for hematoma and placenta abruption - everything looked good! The second picture is his butt and little legs which is what we got when trying to measure the heartbeat- reminds me of his sister.
So I’m approaching 10 weeks with my third pregnancy and at 7 weeks I went to the hospital because I was having some spotting/bleeding. I had a vaginal ultrasound and saw/heard babies heart beat. I have a bicornuate uterus so they thoroughly checked the the other side of my uterus and was told there was only one baby. I went in for my first appointment this week on Monday and had another ultrasound. They found a second baby but was only measuring 6 weeks. The doctor told me that baby was not growing and that it was common in twins for one to not make it. I was shocked and didn’t mention my first ultrasound which they have records of but I came home and started researching and read about Superfetation. I called my doctor back to ask about that but he didn’t call back. Instead he had his nurse call me to tell me the same thing about the second baby just not growing and that most likely it’s just not going to grow. So I looked up a place near me that does ultrasounds and scheduled an ultrasound on the 23rd of this month just to double check and make sure the second baby isn’t growing. Has anyone ever had this experience or known of anyone?
@nina04perez I have not had this happen and I’m sorry for the uncertainty! But did the second baby have a heartbeat? Are they bringing you back for another ultrasound? When is your next appointment? I would push to be seen again to check on the second baby versus going to a boutique ultrasound place.
I don’t think the tech even looked for a heart beat she did it so fast and took pics but I know they can’t say anything so I didn’t even ask. I’m only going to that place to get measurements of the second baby again to have proof and have them do another ultrasound if the baby did grow in these weeks in between. I have my next appointment may 2nd.
We got to see our twins. Here they are at 12w5d (measuring at 12w3d but close enough to not change the due date). They are sharing a placenta, which makes them higher risk. But that means we get to have ultrasounds every two weeks!
Little guy is measuring perfectly @ 13w2d here about 160 hb. Had some pain this week but seems it was nothing. Gotta do some stretching is all. Absolutely love seeing him look like an actual tiny human!
@knottie38d0a01621282df8 that’s great news. Could you please change your username? It’s impossible to keep the knottie names straight, and usernames are how we all get to know each other on the board.
Hey mamas! I went to my 12 week ultrasound today. Not wanting to find out the gender but I asked the doctor if she could tell what it was and she said yes which leads me to believe it’s a boy. Thoughts? Could they tell either way or are only boys truly visible then? I also think I see a little weenus in one of my ultrasound photos but I’m not sure if I’m in my own head right now!
I think it's pretty inconclusive at 12 weeks. I know people who found out at 14 weeks or so. That being that boys are definitely more obvious than girls but girls are pretty distinct. I also know people who were told boy/girl early (around 14) and then found out at 20 weeks that it was the opposite.
My ultrasound was done at 8 weeks and the baby was moving all around in the video & the photo the baby looks like a gummy bear. It was very clear & I didn’t think it would be.
On Monday I had my last of my every-two-week ultrasounds through first tri (had a MC in December so this was as much for peace of mind as anything else). The little dude was moving like crazy and refused to give us a profile shot, but it was amazing to see fingers and hands and feet clearly. I’ll miss seeing him for the next 8 weeks!
Hey y’all! I FINALLY had my very first ultrasound today at 12w4d. I was originally supposed to have my first ultrasound on 2/28 — but I really didn’t like that doctors office so took my time choosing a new Ob/Gyn. Baby is actually measuring at 13 weeks but we’re still keeping the due date of 10/17. This was my first prenatal visit ever and it was so awesome! Baby looked like they were doing somersaults. I was so blown away (this is my first pregnancy). I’m feeling so blessed ❤️.
Here’s baby at 14+6 due October 1st. I had a horrible time at my scan ended up going into urine Retention and hospitalised for 24 hours. Not me and baby are doing fine now thank goodness. I can’t believe how big it looked on the scan
Had my NT scan yesterday, 4/11/22. 11 weeks 6 days. Baby was kicking off the walls and sliding back down on repeat. Everything looks good, NT measured normal. My doctor didn't recommend NIPT screening as I have a high bmi and it may cause no results. I kinda want to do it though to be sure.
Re: Ultrasound Thread
@EmilyE13 So glad you got to hear the heartbeat! Such a cute lil nugget!
