Jan 4-10 Ultrasound Appointments

aktharp · January 2015

First appointment and u/s today! So exciting! Got to see little bean including seeing and hearing the heartbeat. Everything looked good and due dates are an exact match. So thankful!

I'm sorry there was both sacs... Gestational and yolk because the tech said something about one forms placenta or something. To me the picture just looked like a black void... not looking like the pics I've seen posted here. I guess I'll wait for the doctor to call. I just wasn't expecting her to say that yes, there are two sacs but then not show me a little pic of the fetus.

My understanding is that if there is a yolk sac then it's not considered a blighted ovum. Usually your doctor will schedule a follow up ultrasound in a week or two to see if there has been any growth. I'm in a similar situation--we saw the gestational sac and yolk sac but no fetus, but I'm measuring a week behind. I'm sorry, I know it sucks to be in limbo.

Mine was yesterday. Everything looked great which is great news since the last time I was in the same room I found out about my loss. Heartbeat is 175 and measuring 9 w 3 d. I am so relieved.

swimlib · January 2015

I had mine this morning! Measuring 6w5d with a heartbeat of 133bpm. Seeing the little fluttering on the screen was so exciting!

jakesjess · January 2015

Friday at 3:20. I'll be nine w to the day!!! :x

kat+1 · January 2015

Appointment to day and I have to say I would much rather be with a midwife then a family doctors but Newfoundland doesn't have midwives

I see this doc once a month and the. At 28 weeks I change over to to an OBGYN.

koyangi87 · January 2015

My first appointment was today. I've been on the fence about my pregnancy, I wasn't too excited and rather upset, didn't feel real. I saw the little guy's head and arm nubs along with his heartbeat on the u/s and I burst into tears. I've never been happier than I am right now and no longer upset or uncertain at all. Nurse was laughing because he was all wiggly on the screen. ^_^ 9w1d, due Aug 10.

ars093s · January 2015

I had my first ultrasound today! Baby measured 8w1d, but we're sticking with 7w4d based on LMP...doc said if it's within 5 days they don't adjust, unless s/he consistently measures bigger at future appointments.

Heartbeat sounded so fast at 162, but he said it's very normal.

My H is so afraid of twins, he asked the doc if he could double check and make sure there's only one heartbeat. Yup, still just the one

Bfernandez22609 · January 2015

Just had my first appointment yesterday!!! We had an US and got to see our little baby along with her (hoping for a girl) little arms and legs!!! . I'm 10 weeks!!! My next appointment is at 13 wks and we will be doing a blood test to find out the sex of the baby!!! I didn't even know they did that these days, they didn't have that when I had my first baby. I have a wonderful baby boy who is about to be 6, and he is super excited about being a big brother!!!!

cleblanc18 · January 2015

Tomorrow at 1:30 for first appt. and u/s!! DF and I are excited but I'm anxious to see that everything with the little peanut is ok!

Well, I had my appt today, no US and i didn't even get to hear a heart beat. I'm really upset about it. Im 9w2d.. midwife said the babies too small to hear a heart beat right now, so at your next appt you might get to...which is 4 weeks away. Ugh. I just wanted to hear a heartbeat today.

Not finding a HB on Doppler when you try too early is, IMO, worse than waiting. Not finding a heartbeat when there is nothing else you can do bc your ultrasound is still a few weeks away is not a good place to be. I'd say be happy everything is going well and in 4 weeks when you go back you'll be in a better place to find a heartbeat and it will be exciting. Four weeks seems like forever but it will be here before you know it.

Thank you I appreciate it. Waiting 4 weeks will seem like forever, at 13 weeks along and just hearing the heartbeat seems really late.. idk. I'll get through it hopefully with no troubles and worries.

Emy1986 · January 2015

My first u/s is tomorrow at 10am!!! Im so excited and scared!!! Been loving to see all the baby pics getting posted! And I am truely sorry to those that have had bad news :-( Ill be 7w6d by ovulation (I ovulated late in my cycle), so hoping we get to see more than a blob!

askelton27 · January 2015

I don't know how to feel about the appointment. I saw and heard the heartbeat - it was strong at 119 - but I measured in at 6 weeks 1 day instead of 7 weeks. The technician and doc said everything looked perfect, the position, the fluid, etc. The doctor said the measuring result could be one of two things (1) I ovulated late or (2) it's just not developing properly. He thinks it's late ovulation based on the hCG betas and the other u/s I had a couple of weeks ago. This is how my bloodwork went:

12/16 - 13
12/18 - 50
12/22 - 372
12/29 - 12,070

I agree with the doc on the late ovulation just based on the betas and everything I have experienced so far.

Anyways, I went in for an u/s the day after Christmas because of severe cramping I had on Christmas day. Turns out it was all GI related - but it was so miscarriage reminiscent I freaked out. So now I am working on getting my GI all straightened out.

I go back in on the 21st for another u/s and that's the one that's going to let us know where we are headed. Really scary but so grateful - I have never made it this far (to see the heartbeat,etc). I am also on progesterone, so I know that's helping too.

Anyone else go through this or have any input?

Here's a pic of the ultrasound!

Ktrue85 · January 2015

My first appointment and ultrasound is today at 5pm. I'm so fucking nervous I'm sick.

avriladorable07 · January 2015

@Ktrue85 I'm right there with you with my nerves... I'm just trying to breathe easy.... I have my first appointment today at 2:30.

doveshoes · January 2015

I just got back from my first appt and they saw nothing but an empty sac. I am supposed to be 9 weeks so things are not looking good for me. I got my blood drawn and I go back Friday to see if I double or not. I think I died a little right there on the table.

Maybe now my mother will understand why I didn't want her to tell anyone!

Late to the thread here, but so sorry for your loss @mrslampert‌. Hugs to all those in limbo! Any way you could have ovulated late, @doveshoes‌? I hope it turns out ok.

I guess it's possible, I wasn't charting. But I've always been regular and have short cycles. I am preparing myself for the worst. I hope others get some great news this week though!

raelynn71109 · January 2015

I am so sorry @doveshoes‌. FX for you!

KatarinaTay · January 2015

Mine was yesterday, Tuesday. It went awesome! Although my husband got a little freaked when he realized it was a vaginal ultrasound! Hahaha, it was hilarious!

piedpiper07 · January 2015

I am so sorry to the ladies experiencing losses.

I went to the ER yesterday for spotting, and had my ultrasound this morning. I was so nervous I didn't sleep all night. Baby was measuring 8 weeks 5 days and had a heartbeat of 164. I am SO HAPPY. I am beside myself. This might work out!!!!!!!! YAYYYYY!!

raelynn71109 · January 2015

Yay!! Congrats! @piedpiper07‌

I was the same way! So nervous my blood pressure sky rocketed and I gave the nurse and doctor a scare. After seeing baby and knowing everything was ok, blood pressure went right back to normal

Who knew having a baby was so stressful!

Ktrue85 · January 2015

@doveshoes‌ lots of hugs

astheria · January 2015

I was so nervous and no reason to be! Saw our little peanut this morning. 164 bpm heart fluttering there and right on track for our 8/17 due date!

tlc35 · January 2015

No U/S today but I had my first OB appt today and was able to hear the HB on doppler. Amazing!

WSatisfiedP · January 2015

9 weeks 4 days HR 171

Baby is looking forward so you can see face & arm & leg buds

bbax44 · January 2015

They just called my US is the 19th, omg hurry up!! Can't wait. I will be 11 weeks at that time.

ashbasler · January 2015

Had my first u/s today. It was very hard to make anything out so I won't bother posting the pic, but we did see the flutter of baby's heartbeat. Baby is measuring 6w6d which is a week behind what I thought. I must have ovulated later than I thought. However I was a nervous wreck, so I'm happy everything looked fine! We go back in 2 weeks for another u/s.

cleblanc18 · January 2015

Got mine today! Measuring at 8w4d, HB is a healthy 170 and baby is doing great! DF was so happy he came with me and got to experience that for the first time together. We had a moment with some tears when we hear the heart beat

Emy1986 · January 2015

Had mine today at 10am! All was well. I am 7w6d from ovulation (ovulated late in cycle) but bubs is measuring 8w2d! Heartrate was 161. Didnt get to hear it, but saw it flicker!

preggomego · January 2015

Going on the 8th! Wait that's today! Maybe I should get some sleep! It's the middle of the night!!! Am I the only one who can't sleep at night but can during the day! Another wtf moment I guess!

PS. Sorry for rant just tired! I-)

Hallo123 · January 2015

I'm back from my first ultrasound at 7w 5d. Everything was fine, a strong heartbeat and measured exactly 7w 5d.
The doctor found another sac wich was empty, just some 'stuff'. It explains why I was pretty much a mess week 5 &6, and this became less last week.
I'm actually not sad about it, I think having a twin with your first pregnancy at your 23th is pretty intense. I'm very happy everything is well with our baby

jlparker83 · January 2015

I'm 9 weeks into my first pregnancy. There have been no complications, but I won't get to hear the heartbeat until Feb. 2 at 13 weeks, and the sonogram won't be scheduled until 20 weeks. I am extremely frustrated and nervous. Is it normal for the doctor to NOT listen for a HB until the 2nd trimester and just assume everything is okay? Why do some have U/S at week 4, 5, or 6 and others not until 20?

I'm literally in the same boat with you, it freakin sucks!! This waiting game is no fun at all

beachy84 · January 2015

I had my first one before Christmas. Went in for my 2nd appointment yesterday and they had a hard time finding the heartbeat using the Doppler (talk about moment of panic!) so they did an ultrasound. Baby was perfect with a heart rate of 176. I don't think I'll be getting another until week 20 though since I wasn't even supposed to have this one.

There are a couple reasons why people get early scans

1. They had some kind of fertility treatment and this is a part of their follow up care

2. They have had a loss or multiple losses

3. OB wants to have a dating scan since most people do not ovulate on CD 14 and could be unsure of dates.

I get the waiting game is a pain and hard. Trust me with even after having a scan every week the waiting game is still hard though I could had it from a PAL mindset.

If I wouldn't have had my first two losses I would not have had my first scan until the NT one which is between 10-13 weeks. After the NT scan I only get the an a\s unless there is some kind of complication.

edit: the NT scan is optional so someone could have their only ultrasound at 18-22 weeks.

I would try to focus on the positive and not the fact that you are unable to get a scan.

llw42614 · January 2015

Went in yesterday for ultrasound, blood work, all the good stuff.
My calculation for EDD was only 1 day off :-)
Perfectly healthy jelly bean measuring 8w 5d. Official due date is 8/14.
Heart rate was 175 bpm!

paigejenean · January 2015

We got to see our little peanut yesterday. I thought I was 6w5d but I was measuring at 7w exactly so almost right on my dates! I don't think I have ever been more anxious or excited in my entire life! At first she wasn't finding anything and I started to panic inside then she asked if I had to use the restroom because my bladder was completely full and pushing everything over so the little one was hard for her to find! Haha as soon as I came back from the restroom she found the baby instantly. We didn't get to hear the heart beat but we did get to watch a good steady flicker on the screen...by far one of the best moments of my life other than marrying my husband! ☺️
