  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.

  how far along are you? I will be 11 weeks when they listen for the first time. I'm so nervous they can't find it.

  @dkizzire82 - They heard it at my very first trans-vaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks 5 days.  Yesterday's was 9 weeks, 4 days.  They originally thought I was 10 weeks, 6 days (which I knew I wasn't), but remeasured and confirmed 9 weeks, 4 days.  The 10 weeks would have been right on the cusp of being able to hear it with doppler I was told.

  Hey there little one! We couldn't hear a HB, but we could see one and it looked like galloping horses. Now this finally feels real!

  Had my first appt today-was super exciting to see the heartbeat flicker and little arms and legs moving around. This is my first pregnancy so it's all new to me.

  7 weeks today and I just got back from the scan. My pickle is doing well so far! I'll still be a nervous wreck until 12 weeks because of my history of loss though.

  We had our first ultrasound today! Baby is measuring right on track for 10 weeks 2 days, had a heart beat of 160! I didn't get to hear the heartbeat but could see the flicker. Our LO was swimming around a lot so we didn't get a very clear picture. I'm so relieved and it feels real now!

  We had our appt on wednesday.  Saw our little peanut.  Measuring right on for our 8/17 due date.  Heart beat was heard, sounded like a little choo choo train.  164 bpm.  We definitely had tears in our eyes.  Today I noticed DH smiling a lot more, and posting more on facebook (we went fb official after the ultrasound).  I think yesterday made it a lot more "real" for both of us and was definately a sigh of relief that it's going swimmingly so far!

  We had our first appointment yesterday. We ended up getting an US because they only heard the HB for a second. Doctor wanted to make sure everything was okay. Everything looked great! Baby measured at 10w2d instead of 11w4d. HB was 175, which doctor said was normal. So happy we were able to get this done. I was having a lot of anxiety leading up to the appointment. I feel better now.

  They measured the nuchal fold at my u/s at 10w1d. Baby was measuring 1 day behind. Nuchal fold was 1.something and they want it less than 3.

  I went for the first ultrasound yesterday and I thought I was 7w6d based on LMP but measuring 7w3d which is pretty close! Tech was doing her thing and not saying much for what felt like forever.......then she just turned on Doppler out of nowhere. Hearing that little heart almost made my heart stop! Things just got real! DH heard too and he was like "I'm really gonna be a dad..." I've never seen a more beautiful blob!

  Had our first appointment yesterday morning. This is our first pregnancy and I've been very nervous! Seeing that little flutter on the Us was amazing. LMP put us at 8w1d but midwife says baby is measuring 6w5d. She wasn't concerned since I have a history of irregular cycles. Stinks feeling like we lost a week, but couldn't be more excited for a healthy heartbeat and zero symptoms! Looking forward to our next appointment in three weeks

  I had an u/s at 5 weeks and some odd days to verify pregnancy then had bleeding at end of 7 weeks so hospital did u/s to determine if i was miscarrying or not and i am scheduled for a 10 week 1 day ultrasound on Monday the 12th so i will let you know how that goes! Congrats to all the mamas on here its a very exciting adventure to be pregnant!

  Fantastic news! I had my first u/s this morning at 8 weeks, 2 days. DH and I saw the heartbeat-179 bpm! I have not cried so many happy tears since our wedding day.
  
  Our due date is August 19, the day my mother passed away in 2008. Our baby bear definitely has a guardian angel up in heaven.

  Had our first appointment/scan today, feeling so relieved. I'm partially deaf, so I couldn't really hear the heartbeat, but DH could and they showed the heartbeat on the screen so I could see it. Right on track for 7weeks/6days and our EDD of the 23rd. Was very surprised that the Peanut actually looked human! You could make out parts, was expecting just a little blob.

  You make me so hopeful! I have already had two great ultrasounds but my first prenatal isn't until 11 weeks. That's an entire month of PGAL brain eating me away. I was wondering if we'd be able to hear a heartbeat at 11 weeks! This makes me

  Happy!!!!!!

  My last pregnancy I never got to the point where I could hear or see a heartbeat so this was very relieving! He did warn me before hand not to be disappointed if he couldn't find the heartbeat because at 10 weeks it's a 50/50 chance of finding it.
  
  Fingers crossed you get to hear yours at your appointment!

  Is the test invasive? How soon do you find results? Hoping all the scary tests are over soon and just look forward to the monthly checkups then the every other week checkups closer to delivery!
