Early ultrasounds?

  Please do not be jealous. Many of us have had early ultrasounds because of loss and/or fertility issues. That's nothing to be jealous of.

  ^wts. Don't be jealous. It is good to wait anyhow, you will see and hear more and be less nervous because of it. It'll be here before you know it.

  I'll be out of town just as I hit 8 weeks so I have to wait until 11-12 week to go to my first appointment and get an ultrasound. I want to wait to tell my friends and family until after the ultrasound. I'm excited but it seems so far away.

  Jealous...? Jealous because we are panicked that our babies might not have heartbeats because we have had multiple losses? Don't be jealous... My scan at 6 weeks will be terrifying.

  The only reason I had an early U/S is because my last pregnancy ended in MC. Don't be jealous. Otherwise I wouldn't have had one until 12 weeks. I'd give anything to have the blissful ignorance of my first pregnancy back.
  
  And 8 weeks is still early, so calm down. Keep yourself busy to make the time go by faster and keep your mind on other things.
  
  ETA: words.

  Mine is not until nearly 9 weeks. But I already did the initial appointment (to get med history, blood, etc). That was a bit ago and still haven't heard back. Hoping that no news is good news? Or maybe they just wait until your appointment to go over results?
  
  PS: Peeing on a stick might make you feel better! I plan to this weekend!

  I had an early ultrasound at 5 weeks 2 days and will have my next at 7 weeks. ...but dont be jealous because the only reason is because I am at a fertility and havr had to suffer the heartache that is infertility for most of the last three years! I am grateful to have made it this far and cherish everyday....but the pain of infertility will always be with me.

  Yes, be jealous of my infertility problems. It's so much fun.

  My first appt is at 8 weeks on August 1, too. I am just trying to stay positive until then!  We are lucky that we don't have a history of loss/infertility, so as I am telling myself, there is no reason to think that anything is wrong and that we won't see a healthy little nugget in.... 14 days!
  
  ETA: 8 weeks according to my LMP, even though I know I'll only be 7.5 weeks... oh well.

  As someone who has experienced loss, early ultrasounds are a source of worry. I understand where you're coming from though - it is exciting to think of that first u/s.
  
  8w is still pretty early and, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, some not so great things can happen even after a good u/s at 8w (I speak from experience).
  
  My dating u/s is in just over two weeks and I'm anxious for that day to get here.

  My OB gave me the option to come in early, around 6 weeks rather than 8 weeks, for an u/s because of my loss in February. She wanted me to do what would be most comfortable for me. It was a hard decision, but I chose to wait until 8 weeks (which is my loss milestone) because I was afraid of coming in too early and not seeing anything. Believe me, I know the feeling of just wanting to see the baby but waiting just a few more weeks will be worth it.

  
  

  mayaruthie I totally hear you on the blissful ignorance! I am excited for the my first u/s, but more nervous, anxious, and scared.

  I had an early u/s due to a previous loss at 6w5d (by LMP) but was actually 5w5d (late ovulation). I saw a gestational sac and a yolk sac, but nothing else. Now I must live in limbo for 2 more weeks. Early u/s are not all they are cracked up to be!

  I'm not a fan of early ultrasounds.  There's really not much you can see and sometimes they cause more worry.  I had a friend be told there was a sac but nothing else on a 5 week ultrasound and be told to probably expect a miscarriage.  She had a healthy full term baby that pregnancy.  My last pregnancy ended in a loss but I'm still opting out of all u/s.
