Had first ultrasound...How did you feel?

strawberriquen · May 2012

As soon as I saw the baby in her little heart flickering, I started balling. What an incredible moment! Then I heard the heartbeat and that was it. I am head over heels in love. How did everyone else feel the first time? How do you think you'll react the first time?

Congrats! I totally just got teared up reading this and thinking about when I'll get there, too.

What an amazing miracle!

Congratulations, that's awesome!

We're going Wednesday for our first ultrasound! I'm not sure how I'll react - I'm really not much of a crier but maybe, we'll see soon enough!

Congrats!! How wonderful!

I just made my first appointment today and I asked if an internal ultrasound would be done. During my first pregnancy I had an internal US done at around 6-7 weeks along, but I had a different doctor at the time. This time the receptionist told me I won't be having any ultrasounds done until I'm 12 weeks along, but I'll be hearing the heartbeat at my first appointment, which is a month from today.

During my first pregnancy I totally thought I would tear up when I saw the heartbeat for the first time. In the moment, though, I just stared at the screen in awe. No tears! It was similar to my wedding day: I thought I'd be a weeping mess but I didn't shed a single tear that day ;-)

We were fearing the worse when we went in for mine so when we saw that little heart beating I cried. I told myself not too but I just couldn't help it!

congrats!!

i had my u/s where i could hear the hb on wednesday....it was so surreal! i was trying not to cry....but then i lost it because that meant my journey with infertility and my visits with my if dr were over....everyone there was so awesome and supportive....

i was also a little bummed that dh wasn't with me, but, now i'll get to see his reaction to when he hears it for the first time....i can't wait til he hears it too!

I had a similar reaction to the first u/s for my DS and BFP#2.

I miscarried #2, so this time I was just relieved to see a HB. No other reaction than that. Plus, my OB was simultaneously telling me about something that didn't look quite right outside of the gestational sac, so that took away from any "moment" I may have had, and I just got anxious all over again.

I have another u/s this afternoon at a more high-tech facility to hopefully figure out what it is that doesn't look quite right.

With my son I felt relief to know I was actually pregnant. I had an early ultrasound last week where just the sac and yolk sac was seen, so with that I didn't really feel anything. Maybe some anxiety.

I haven't had an U/S yet with this pregnancy, but with DS, when I heard the HB for the first time I definitely cried. :P It's the most amazing sound in the world!

I was a flucking wreck. Almost exactly a year before, we were in the same position... going in for our first ultrasound when we found out there was no heartbeat. We were scared to death that the same thing was going to happen, so our emotions were already running high. We both held our breaths while the nurse tried to find the heartbeat. As soon as we saw that little flicker, we both cried. I started bawling when we actually got to "hear" it.

I have my first appointment on the 29th. I am sure I am going to cry. We have been trying for a year now so this will make it real for us that there is a lil one there.

I always feel emotional and relieved after my u/s but then a sense of fear always comes back a day later. Ugh, I hate first tri!

Ace2011 · May 2012

I thought that I was going to cry but when the time came I just stared at the screen in awe. I was so excited to hear the HB and see my baby.

kygirlie113 · May 2012

Congrats! I was a little teary eyed, too. Such a beautiful sight and sound.

It was a very bittersweet moment for DH and I. We had transferred two embabies and were really hoping they both made it. Unfortunately, we found at the u/s that only one was still with us. We are ecstatic that we are pregnant and the one snowflake is thriving, but sad that we have another little one waiting for us in heaven.

MandaS08 · May 2012

I think I will bawl. It still doesn't feel real to me-I think mainly b/c I've been down this road before with no baby.

I think once I see the heartbeat it will seem real and I might start accepting that this is really happening!

brittandjp · May 2012

Ohh geeze, just reading this post got me all teary eyed thinking about my first ultrasound, which hasn't even happened yet! It's scheduled for June 5th and I cannot wait. I can already guarantee you that I'll cry. DH will probably cry as well, but shh, that's a secret!

Congratulations by the way, that is so exciting!
