Went to the ER last night because I started bleeding. Last time this was bad... so of course we weren't just going to chance it. Turns out the baby is just fine (I was completely prepared for the worst) and the placenta is forming. So here is my 7 week old bean:
So we went to our first ultrasound and we heard the heart beat!! I am 7 weeks 0 days and the heart rate was 127 bpm - they said that is terrific! I go again in 2 weeks!! Up until this point I have had no spotting, cramping and no morning sickness ... just sore breasts, I wish people would stop hugging so hard! I am a first time mama and my wife and I are so excited!?!? I can't believe it is really in there!!!
Had first U/S this morning. All seems great. Apart from I'm two weeks further behind than my cycle suggested. Follow up u/s in two weeks to make sure baby is growing and all is ok! 6 weeks 1 day
We had our first visit today for our first pregnancy! Everything looked great! Measured right at 8 weeks with an edd of jan 4th! Heart was beating at 163 bpm! We are so happy!
Had my first at 6+3! It was a quickie to shut me up but we saw the HB flickering away! I'll have a proper dating sonogram in two more weeks! At the beginning of the appt they took my BP and were concerned BC it was very high, 140/90. I told them it was because I was nervous so they redid it at the end and it was 120/80. Lol nerves!
Is it standard for American's to receive so many ultrasounds? In Canada, we only have the anatomy scan, unless there is a medical concern.
@holocene it all depends on your insurance coverage and if you're pregnancy is high risk. I feel like 3 ultrasounds for a normal pregnancy here is pretty standard. I'm high risk so we will do once a month early on, then more towards later pregnancy.

Edit to add that we can also have one in the first trimester if we're unsure of our dates.
In all fairness it's normally 3 scans. One to date, one at 12ish weeks for trisonomy screening and the anatomy at 20. Many offices here will do more at the Mother's request. Mine today literally took 1 minute and was just to alleviate my nerves. If there are no problems I'm only anticipating the standard 3 after this.
I love seeing all the little sweet peas! Went today for a follow up from last weeks ultrasound and heart rate increased to 135bpm and everything is measuring normal...6wks 6 days. We think she/he looks like a baby dinosaur. Lol
Here is my little blob! Had the u/s yesterday at 5w6d. I honestly thought the yolk sac was a tail...geez. Saw the heart beat and they said it was 112 BPM!! EEIIIII
Finally had my ultrasound this morning!!! Baby is measuring a week behind, daughter did the same. Going in this afternoon for another just to double check babies size.
Here's my little bean at 6wks/1day from earlier this month. Our EDD is 1/1/16 and my husband and I overjoyed and feel so blessed!! I'm 8wks/5days today and look forward to our next u/s in July!!
Had 2nd u/s today, due to some spotting. (Had first last Wednesday) last weeks results were a little scary, heartbeat was on lower side of normal so they said, but happy to report my little bean is growing accordingly and heartbeat today was much better at 129. Dr said everything looks encouraging! So happy that everything is getting better! Here is my little bean at 6weeks 5days!

Here is our little one. Measuring 7 weeks yesterday so estimated guess date pushed to 2nd week in January. We saw the heartbeat yesterday! 140. Grateful and feeling blessed. Yolksac is blob on the right.
Had my first u/s today. Went in thinking I was 7wks based on LMP but, only saw the sac during u/s. The tech said its normal and that I may just be a couple weeks earlier than I thought and it happens all the time. But, I can't help but be freaking. Anybody else go through this and go back in a couple of weeks to see a healthy bean in there?
Got to see our wee nugget! Measuring 6w3days we didnt hear the heartbeat because our DD was just jabbering the whole time but the tech said it was 124 which was right on track for how far along I am. Finally! Yay!
This is my first pregnancy. After 9 years of nothing and then a huge big natural pregnancy shock. I paid too have an early scan. This is at 6weeks 3 days and i got too see and hear the heartbeat. Amazing feeling. .
Here's hope to all you ladies with very little symptoms!!! I was sooo nervous for the appointment but got good news! Measuring 8 weeks today (pretty on point with what I thought!) with heart rate of 160 I love it soooo much!!!
Had my first appt yesterday, everything looked good, and there was a pretty steady heartbeat. Looks like the only thing I'm worrying about now is getting pre-e again haha.
DD dec 30th, 2015. (I hope no one minds that I'm switching birth clubs, too many drama mamas over there. Hoping this group is better.) This is my little peanut at 7w 5d. Today I am 9w 0d. Next appointment isn't until June 22nd. I feel like I had to wait forever for the first ultrasound, now I get to wait some more. Grow baby grow!
Had my first appt today. Doc said I'm about 6wks according to my LMP. I asked about an u/s & they said they don't do the first one until around 18-20wks ?! Isn't that a little late. I'm going to search around for possibly another doc who will do an u/s sooner. I love seeing & hearing the good news on y'all's little ones!! Hopefully I can share mine soon!

Did you get to see or hear a heartbeat?
No we didn't just a constant flickering. Hoping to talk more about heartbeat in next U/S in two weeks.
