  I’m going to wait until 13 weeks for my first scan and I’m only 4w2d. I know exactly when I ovulated and due to a past loss, I’ve decided to wait! I know it’s not going to be easy, but I will keep a positive outlook and have faith that my body is doing exactly what it needs to/ should do.

  I’m anxious. I usually get my first US around 6 weeks but I’m considering waiting until 8 weeks. 

  
  

  I’m also trying to decide if I want to do the midwife or OB. I kinda want to go the OB route so I can have a solid 24 hours in the hospital alone with my baby before anyone else bothers me. I also haven’t been happy with how my deliveries have gone the last 2 times with my midwives. The deliveries have been way more painful and I think it’s because I can’t get in the exact position I want to be in.

  I'll be almost 11 weeks before first ultrasound and it is really stressing me out! Normally I go for a dating u/s at 8 weeks, but I'm going to be in trial and can't take time off work for the next month while preparing. I've been super sick the last several days though so I'm letting that do some good by soothing my nerves a bit that things are going well lol.

  I had my first ultrasound this morning and was full of anxiety. I’ve had the symptoms so was trying to lean into that to ease my mind. Luckily everything is perfect so far After years of infertility I’m focusing on the milestones and the moment we’re in and just celebrating that. Soaking in what this all feels like, and not letting the fear of the future come in. Easier said than done, I know, but just being grateful for these milestone moments.

  Went to do a private ultrasound sound today.  I am tracking 8W1D based on LMP.  However there was no heartbeat, just a yolk sac.  Hoping that I am just early and may only be 5W and some change based on ovulation date.  Fingers crossed.  I emailed the scan pictures to my OBGYN, but I am not scheduled for an official ultrasound for another 5 weeks.
