Early ultrasound

A few weeks after I found out I was pregnant I went to the doctor and had an ultrasound done! They said that I was around 5 1/2 weeks and sometimes they don't get to hear the heartbeat unless your 6 weeks or longer. And they ended up making me another appointment 3 weeks later! I haven't went back yet but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this cause I'm really nervous were I had a miscarriage last Easter!
Thanks,

Re: Early ultrasound

  • Try not to worry....even though I know you will.  With both DS and this pregnancy my 5 week ultrasound only was able to show me that the baby was in the right place. When I had follow ups with both of those (7 and 8 weeks) there was a heartbeat.  My 1st pregnancy had a strong heartbeat at 6 weeks, but unfortunatly that pregnancy was ectopic and I ended up having to spend 2 nights in the hospital after it ruptured (at the hospital). So much for the heartbeat in my case.

    At this stage it's really a waiting game-it sucks, but hang in there.
