Dh says it looked like a scorpion...I have to admit it kind of did! I love it when I am right. I am measuring approximately 8 weeks and 2 days My doctor was convinced I was a week ahead, but I knew better from charting! The heart rate was 169 beats per minute.

Lesson learned do not drink the water when they say too! I was told drink 32oz from 1:45-2:15. I chugged it down at around 2:00. They didn't see me until 3:15. My bladder was about to burst! I couldn't even enjoy the ultrasound because I had to pee so bad and was trying not to pee on the tech!!! The lady told me next time ignore the directions, wait a half hour then drink it. The poor peanut was being squished by my full bladder! So happy to know we have a healthy baby. I can relax now!

congrats on the u/s. i've had 2 u/s and nobody told me to drink anything. i even double checked before my 1st. don't they know that pregnant bladder can not hold it as long as an unpregnant bladder..

Congrats! My first u/s is next week Thursday and I am supposed to drink 40 oz of water at least an hour before my appointment and I am not looking forward to it. I already drink 90-120 oz of water a day and have to pee all the time. I have a feeling I will be like you, not being able to enjoy the u/s because I have to hold it so much. Congrats again!

Congrats!

I'm having my first abdominal u/s tomorrow and not looking forward to drinking the 32 oz. I hope I don't have that long of a wait..I don't think I will be as successful as you were holding it!

Baby looks great!
