I figured since we have a quite a few of us going for early ultrasounds coming up soon, we could use this thread to post/update in.

Had my 8 week u/s this morning! One little bean in there. Heartbeat was 161. We saw arm buds, leg buds, and some little wiggles! measuring 7w and 6d so due date would be 6/1, but they won't move it for one day.

I'm only measuring 6+1 but after 2 ultrasounds with my RE, I'm pretty sure she just sucks at pregnancy ultrasounds. I'm not longer concerned about it's position. It migrated so it's in a good spot now. HB though... it's either 120 or 80. She did HB measurements 3 different ways and got 2 different numbers The flicker on the screen seemed more in line with 80 since it wasn't that fast so I'm not sure what to believe, but we've got progress compared to last week so that's all I care about.

Measuring a day ahead at 8weeks and 1 day. Due date has been changed to June 2nd. Heart beat was 170bpm. I was expecting a TV ultrasound, but it was an external scan. With my first i had a TV ultrasound once a month until 12 weeks. I'm pleasently surprised by this difference.
@mrs_massie I havent been able to get the app to work properly on my phone since joining the BMB. Even on my computer the site is slow. But you can always email yourself the picture of the US and then post from another device.

I dont have my email setup on my phone, so it took some creative thinking to get the pictures onto the computer, but I did it! They arent the best pictures because it was still really early at the time and she couldnt get a picture of them both from the same angle, so there is a picture of baby A and a picture of baby B. I get another US on Nov 4 and can't wait to see the change.
Had my first sono and appt today! I thought that I was 7w 6d based on when I thought I ovulated, but I’m measuring 8w 3d!! I’m pretty surprised by that as I thought I was certain of O date just based on CM and cramps, but 🤷♀️. So they are making my due date based on LMP which puts me at 8w 1d, so I got to move up two days. Woot! Baby’s HR was 153 and they said everything looked great. They did an abdominal u/s which I was surprised at, but that’s why the sono is so blurry. Was hoping for T/V so I could see more detail, like a little gummy bear! Oh well. I’m happy. And since I was measuring over 8 weeks, I sent in my sneak peak test today! I’m so nervous. Will is be baby boy #4 or baby girl #1? My vote is baby boy #4, lol! Which I’m 100% okay with!

@mamakate2011 I don’t know. Just a gut feeling I have for you. I feel you have had enough boys 😆 and this one is your girl. She’s coming. Lol How long till you get your sneak peek results back?
Lol @mindyb2019 I love your confidence in your gut feeling!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed you’re right!! Although sometimes the thought of a little girl scares me. My BFF mentioned to me during my last pregnancy that “you’re not girly anyway”. She’s right. BUT, I still have always longed for a little girl!

Just had my ultrasound ❤️ baby looks great! Measuring exactly on time, heart rate was strong. I'm so so so happy. I was literally shaking I was so scared of bad news after my 2 MCs last year.
Had my ultrasound today and it was a great experience. My husband stayed home with the kids and I got to see my best friend in person for the first time in a while (midwife). Baby is measuring at exactly 7 weeks today, putting my EDD to June 17th. We are hoping baby comes late (wouldn’t be unusual!) and I can deliver on my bestie’s birthday. Feeling excited.

Welllll @mindyb2019 - your confidence paid off! Look at the email I got today!! 😳😳😳 omg!! I’m not sure I believe it!! Never thought I’d ever hear “it’s a girl!”, now let’s just hope the test isn’t wrong!

We have one sweet cozy little bean nestled in! Heart just started beating so it's a bit on the slow side. Barring complications we'll go in again on 12/3! Babe is measuring at 6+2 (6/22 EDD) and based on LMP I'm 5+5 (6/26 EDD) so we'll -likely- keep my EDD based on LMP but we'll see what my ObGyn says. I'm so happy y'all!!
@mamakate1616 - Usually when those tests are wrong, it's when the results say boy (but is really a girl) because it got contaminated with male DNA. It can't get contaminated the other way because you are already female. (Not sure if I said that very clearly.) But at any rate, you should be confident that your results are accurate! Congratulations!!!

@marebear15 yes! I definitely knew that it’s more accurate if you get a girl result since I know for sure it wasn’t contaminated...I would be hesitant to believe it had it said boy only because I have four males in my house, lol! BUT, that being said - the reviews on Amazon for Sneak Peek aren’t so great and I have seen a few where the result was girl, but it was actually a boy. And I took this basically the very first day I was allowed to at 8 weeks 1 day. BUT, hopefully it’s correct for me! 🎉
Haha @mamakate2011 I love the reaction to the sneak peak results! Just a few more weeks for confirmation. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that it was right so you can have a little more estrogen in your house!
Congratulations everyone! All these updates and ultrasounds are making me so emotional and excited for mine coming up.

Getting a good shot of both babies at the same time was tough. The US tech said they are legit in their own corners of my uterus. The great news is both of them are perfect. Im 8w2d today. Baby A is measuring 8w1d, HB 176bpm. Baby B is measuring 8w3d, HB 172bpm. I've nicknamed them Sugar & Spice.
