Had my dating ultrasound today. 7 weeks, 1 day. Heart rate was 127. Due 5/29 based off LMP (baby measured 6 weeks 5 days). Hanging out here if that's ok, as I always go late with my pregnancies!
Start some bright red bleeding yesterday so, because of my history, my mw sent me for an urgent sono. This little bean was waiting for me. Her words were that she is "cautiously optimistic" because the gas sac is a little bigger than the fetus and the hr is in the lower ends of normal BUT the fetus is measuring right along with my ovulation date and there was a heart beating so I'm happy . Follow up apt and sono next week. For now - Hey little bean!!
@heath313 and @Turbotastic congratulations. Look at those little babies growing. I have my first ultrasound on October 18th which is in 6 more days. Can't wait to post mines.
I said I would start participating in discussions after my first appointment! Boy o boy did I get a big surprise! Pregnant with twins and in complete shock. I asked the doctor to make sure he wasn't rolling over the same baby LOL. I can't wait to see my husband's expression! Going back in two weeks when I should be 8 1/2 weeks. So crazy and so excited!
@THCH0402 how exciting!!! I had a rough day, just crazy hormonal emotions when I found out I was having twins during my first pregnancy... twins have such a special relationship, so fun to be a part of as their mom... Congrats!
@THCH0402 awww look a there. Surprise Surprise! Congrats. Double the blessing and it looks like they will be identical because they are in the same sac look like it. Twins run in my family as well as my bf family so we shall see on tuesday at my first appointment.
Baby number 2 is on the way! EDD: June 1st! Heart rate was 130! Doctor said baby looked perfect. One small hiccup is a sub chorionic hemorrhage. I'm well versed as my first pregnancy I had a placental abruption so finding this out makes me a huge bag of nerves. Praying so hard that it just dissipates and doesn't cause any issues this time around.
How are you guys getting ultrasounds so early? My doctor won't even see me until after 8 weeks. I'm super excited to see these little ones though! It's inspiring and gives me something to look forward to!
@Wearmi1 I am high risk due to my previous pregnancy, and I've had spotting with this pregnancy so far. Even without the spotting I would have had an ultrasound tomorrow and close monitoring throughout this pregnancy. From what I gather, not many offices do early ultrasounds unless there is history or current concerns.
@wearmi1 My RE wanted to see me early because I've had 6 first trimester losses. With my first pregnancy my OB assumed everything would be fine and wouldn't see me for anything at all till 8 weeks.

So mine is super fuzzy but there's baby in the circle lol! Also has a strong heart beat- I love the first appointment and the excitement after seeing that little heart beat flicker on the screen! I go for my dating ultrasound at an ultrasound clinic at the beginning of November so I'll get a more clear shot then. Anatomy scan will be January 10th so we can find out the sex then! EDD is June 1!
I know an early ultrasound means something is wrong and I should be thankful that I'm not being seen until 8 weeks because I don't have a history of loss. However, I am a little jealous of all you ladies getting to see your little ones!! So happy things are going well for everyone so far!!! FX it continues that way!
Aww I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's previous losses, that just makes me very sad for all of you but happy at the same time that you've gotten to see your little ones and know everything seems to be ok!
@devow27 I was thinking I was the only one having spotting. Glad to know you are progressing with your little one as well as the other who have been spotting and have had losses. This gives me hope and that everything may be okay. My appointment is the 18th which is tuesday and I am so ready for it.
I'm not an expert but I had twins with my first pregnancy... they look like they are DiDi twins but could be MoDi. You can see the slight indentation where the sacs come together and there is a slight bulge/overlap where the left placenta curves around for the sac for that baby. This early it is very hard to see the line... hence why they kept telling me mine were identical MoMo, then changed me to MoDi when the 2 sacs became more apparent, and then eventually DiDi when they could see that the placentas had probably fused together looking like one...but were in fact 2.
The hard part with all of this is that all 3 types can be identical... some resources say only MoMo and MoDi but DiDi can be identical if they split very VERY early... the odds are about 1 in 9 last time I was researching.
I think I will have the longest ultrasound wait out of anyone! Mine is not scheduled until my first appointment which is on Dec. 5. Congrats to everyone else and hope for smooth sailing from here on out for everyone.
@kassyfry I'm in the same boat. While my first apt is Nov 3rd (8 weeks plus a few days), I will only hear the heartbeat then. My second apt December 2nd, they will do the ultrasound then. I was hoping to convince them to do it earlier due to my AMA.
@keaton732 have you told your doctors about the spotting? Mine jump all over it and get me in day of or next day. Either way, I'm happy your appointment is so close! Many times spotting can be totally normal happy healthy pregnancy to you!
