Ultrasound Thread

jarethinafrock · March 2016

I saw this on the October BMB and thought we would be seeing a lot of ultrasound pictures coming up soon! In order to help contain the number of threads showing ultrasounds, post pictures of your ultrasounds here. Be sure to crop out your name and any other identifying info from the ultrasound. Also, be sure to let us know where you are in your pregnancy!

jdebaie · March 2016

Getting my first one at 11:30 today!!

beforeyou · March 2016

I think we should sticky this, what do you think?
@BumpTara @BumpAdmin @BumpCaitlin can we get a sticky?

comealongponds · March 2016

Yes! Definitely needs a sticky @BumpAdmin @BumpTara @BumpCaitlin - pretty please!

I don't have a pic, but I had my first ultrasound yesterday and found out we're expecting twins, assuming this SCH resolves.

beforeyou · March 2016

bump because I don't want this to get lost as some ladies are gearing up for appts next week!

and sticky please @BumpAdmin @BumpTara @BumpCaitlin

jarethinafrock · March 2016

Thanks, @peachykeen17

Anyone have any pictures they want to post? I'm anxious to see some little beans!

aquasocks · March 2016

I will on Monday!

@BumpAdmin @BumpCaitlin @BumpTara Can we please get a sticky for this thread? Thanks!

GreenEyedUnicorn · March 2016

I had an ultrasound yesterday but they wouldn't give us a pic because there was no fetal pole yet (I'm 5w2d today). So I'll get a pic next time.

Here is mine from my first U/S yesterday morning. Measured at 5w5d. I go every Friday because I had to have infertility treatments to get this far.

Des321 · March 2016

A little blurry but the yolk sac is on the left. This was at 5w2d. I'll have another at 9 weeks.

aquasocks · March 2016

Here's our kiddo @ 6+3. (Early ultrasound due to history of infertility and loss. Also to check for multiples.)
We were able to see and hear the heartbeat. Hi there, baby!!

AandDM2014 · March 2016

Oh @aquasocks, you're having a blob too!

Sorry @Des321 I cannot see a thing in your U/S. Of course, I can't see much in mine either (hence the helpful label).

kns1988 · March 2016

I had my first ultrasound today at 6 weeks! I though I was 6w2d, but I was measuring 2 days off. Nothing to worry about, right? We saw the heartbeat - couldn't hear it because the office didn't have a doppler on the machine. There's a small subchorionic hematoma on the right side of the sac, which is what caused that little bit of bleeding that I had about 10 days ago. The doctor told me that now that he saw a heartbeat, my MC risk is only at 1 - 5%!

Maybe now that we have some U/S to show we can get a sticky??
please? @BumpAdmin @BumpTara @BumpCaitlin

Love seeing all those babies, ladies!

comealongponds · March 2016

We may need to post on the admin walls, that was the only way I got the intro thread stickied @peachykeen17

beforeyou · March 2016

@comealongponds done!

GraceUponGrace09 · March 2016

@kns1988 or anyone else who might know... is that true across the board? Once they see the heart beat, your MC rate is 1-5%??? That would be awesome!

kns1988 · March 2016

@GraceUponGrace09, I'm not sure if it's across the board. He said that because I had a little bit of bleeding, they call it a threatened miscarriage, but now that there's a heartbeat the percentage is only 1-5. It made me feel good, so I'm sticking with it!

@blecherears I'm am not sure what the majority opinion is but I would appreciate if you delete that info out of this thread and maybe make a new thread for that. I know many BMB have a specific thread for the chances of not having a mc. I was specifically going to try and avoid that all together.

Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone. Was trying to answer a PP question about other poster's comments. I have removed the information.

m6agua · March 2016

@blecherears Thanks! Don't worry, you didn't offend me. I just am trying my hardest to avoid that info since it did me no good last time.

*TW - loss*

@GraceUponGrace09 from the Miscarriage Association in the U.K.:

"Research amongst women with a history of recurrent miscarriage has shown that those who saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks of pregnancy had a 78% chance of the pregnancy continuing. It also showed that seeing a heartbeat at 8 weeks increased the chance of a continuing pregnancy to 98% and at 10 weeks that went up to 99.4%."

My quick Google came up with that reference as the only medically backed result. FWIW, my baby had a strong heartbeat at 6w but I miscarried less than a week later in December.

Not really. It depends on when the heartbeat is seen and whether or not you have a history of repeat loss. I can provide citations if anyone is interested, but depending on your age, obstetric history, and the point at which the heart beat is seen, the literature says the chance of miscarriage after seeing a heartbeat can be as low as 2% or as high as 29%, so it's important not to throw around the "5%" number because it's not true for everyone.

It also depends on other health conditions you may have that are linked with increased rates of miscarriage (hypothyroidism being one). I hate these stats and just want to hit a fast forward button through first tri.

Knottie76627123 · March 2016

So excited for everyone's little blobs! I have my first (ever) ultrasound in a little over two weeks, and am so excited/nervous. That'll be 6w 4d I think. Fingers crossed for a tiny blob w a strong heart beat like you alls.

AandDM2014 · March 2016

@GraceUponGrace09 I know someone who saw the heartbeat at 8 weeks and had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. It is not a guarantee.

@Knottie76627123 Congrats on your first ever US!! At that early you should be prepared for it to be a vaginal probe. They aren't painful, just a bit weird (especially if you're only used to DH being in there!)

mamahazey · March 2016

i had my first ultrasound this morning at 6 weeks 5 days. I was a nervous wreck, but it went well. We saw the heartbeat and the baby measured exactly as it should have according to my ovulation date. I won't be able to really relax until after my next appointment since we lost our baby at 9 weeks last time... But I do feel a lot better now that we've seen our little peanut.

ETA- I dont think my picture is showing up?

hellopartyof5 · March 2016

I'm so excited for mine! My Dr does 3D ultrasounds every time and it's so amazing to me to see the progression!

eta: an apostrophe in my "its"

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · March 2016

Little bitty baby and yolk sac. Heart rate was 107bpm.

Knottie76627123 · March 2016

LOL @AandDM2014 - I had one a few months ago when they realized my IUD was out of place so I'm prepared for that weirdness....though this will be way higher stakes emotionally!

Love seeing all these little tadpole-blobs!

BabyVB118 · March 2016

I had an unexpected quick ultrasound at my confirmation appointment yesterday at 5w6d (I was 6 weeks from LMP but she kept saying I was 5w6d so I'm going with that. I think I ovulated after cd14 anyway). The NP thought my uterus was measuring a little big so she wanted to see if there was more than one in there or if the dates were off. We only saw one measuring right on time. I saw the yolk sac on the screen but you can't really see anything in the picture. It's driving me crazy even tho I know I saw it and the NP was confident everything looked good. I can't wait for my next one at 8w1d!!

comealongponds · March 2016

Baby B (Lake) - measuring a bit small at 6w1d, but with a beautiful little heartbeat at 124bpm. SCH is still there, awaiting final measurements to see if it's growing, shrinking or not changing.

Baby A (River) - measuring 6w3d, heartbeat of 136bpm.

So thrilled everything is looking promising for now...madly in love with those little flickering heartbeats!

DunkinDecaf · March 2016

Had my first ultrasound this morning but I didn't get to take a picture home. We could only see a little gestational sac w/ a yolk sac, but they said that's normal for being so early in my pregnancy. The doctor wasn't worried. Anyway it's not ectopic, which was my biggest worry! Another u/s in 2 weeks to make sure the little guy is progressing. Hooray!

ShallowSeas · March 2016

Baby is measuring 6w1d and has a heart beat of 113

Congrats to you!!! Yes, we can see that beautiful baby in the picture.
