@Lelo2006 Thats great news! Hoping Monday comes quickly for you!
Thanks so much, lady. I'm still extremely nervous. It's taken 2.5 years to get here, so I was totally a mess all morning, and was full on sobbing during the ultrasound. PLEASE GROW BABY GIRL!!!!
Had my first appointment today, measured at 6 weeks 1 day- I was only 3 days off. Dr. Said that’s fine and as of now EDD Is now 7/15!! We got to hear the heartbeat as well. Such an awesome day!
@rachelsogo awesome! I'll bet you can't wait u til the 8 week!
@Lelo2006 totally understand. I'm praying for your baby to grow big and strong! And for your nerves. And wait...girl?!? How?!? How do you know already?? So exciting!!
@adventuresawait1 good memory, wow! Yup. Provided I stay stable the next few hours. I've got a stomach bug but it seems like it's temporary so I don't want to cancel unless I absolutely have to, because then I'd have to wait another week.
@craftm2018 awesome! So glad you got to hear the heartbeat so early! What a gift.
Was hoping to join you girls today... didn't get a picture and forgot to ask but still a "good" appointment. Based of LMP I am 7w2d but baby is measuring 6w2/3D. Doc said he could see the heartbeat but must have just started as we couldn't hear it. Trying to remind myself that my cycles vary 28-32 days and this is totally normal but was hoping for better news to announce to family this week. We go back in two weeks and hope to see some growth and HEAR that sweet little heartbeat! Until then I will live vicariously through all these lovely ultrasound pics
Tiny Bean with a strong heartbeat! So glad we got to see it this time!! Feeling much better now, less anxious, more hopeful that this baby is sticking.
Also seen: I really need to shave my legs. I looked down during the appt and realized exactly how long it's been that I've been wearing pants. O.o
Also thanks for the shaving reminder before my appt tomorrow. I wore ankle pants today and literally shaved two inches of the bottom part of my leg. So hot.
My ultrasound went well today! He did a regular u/s instead of the vag wand so the picture isn't super clear, but heartbeat was good! So relieved and already counting down the days to my NT scan on Dec 18th.
He did put me a few days behind where I thought I was, which doesn't surprise me since I have longer cycles and wasn't tracking O. He's not concerned so I'm not concerned. I'm not changing dates for tracking purposes because I can't mentally handle going backwards and "redoing" days of nausea and sickness.
Well, my husband and I got the surprise of our lives...we have identical twins in the makes! We were able to hear both heartbeats and they both look great.
@bradybunchmom89 we were surprised as well last week with twins! Different sacs though so probably fraternal. We should get a moms of multiples thread going at some point, definitely have so many questions to work out.
Still haven’t been able to get a drs appointment but my friend owns an ultrasound studio and gave me an ultrasound. I’m supposed to be 8 weeks this week based on my period but she thinks I’m measuring more at 6 wks. We also saw what looks to possibly be 2 egg sacs so maybe twins?!? Does anyone else think this possibly looks like twins?? They run in my family and I’ve always wanted twins so it would be awesome if it was but trying not to get my hopes up.
@jkane625How lucky you have a friend with an u/s studio! That looks like two sacs to me! The sac on the right looks a little crescent shaped but that could also just be the angle/pressure of the wand etc. Was it an abdominal u/s? And congrats!
@acunamatada Ya it was abdominal I actually noticed what looked like 2 sacs before she said anything but waited to see if she noticed first. I used to work as the office manager at this ultrasound studio so I have seen tons and tons of ultrasounds so it was easy for me to spot. It still totally could not be twins though but I will be so happy if it is!
