1st Trimester

12 Week Apt

So I went in for my 3rd OB apt. I was so excited to hear the baby's hb. We went in and the doc tried with the doppler. But he couldn't ear anything, just placenta noises.

I was so upset and asked him to "try" again. The u/s tech was in the office. He said that he would get her to fit me in real quick to hear the fetal hb. I was so nervous. So we went in and saw my baby. Oh that lo was moving all around and the u/s tech said if the baby is moving to much it is hard to hear any hb on the doppler. 168 bpm. Oh how much the baby grew in just 4 weeks.

So we got to see the baby last month, this month and then we have an u/s for the next 4 week apt. We will be able to find out the sex to (if we have a flasher - says the doc)

I only gained 3 pounds in the 1st trimester, the doc was happy with that.

  • Sounds so cool! DH and I want to go to one of those elective ultrasound places because we're having insurance troubles getting another us right now. I hope I can see my LO soon too!

  • So many of you get early u/s.  I guess it depends on your practice and/or insurance.  My practice doesn't see you until 10 weeks and they don't do an ultrasound.   They will try to get the hb though.   I've never had an u/s til 20 weeks.  

    I am so happy you got to see the lil' one! Good luck at your next one - hope you can find out the sex.
