I don't want to make this an AW thread all about me, buttttt I had my first OB ultrasound!!
HB of 132 and everything looks beautiful!! The pictures he printed off for us look like nothing but on the screen we could see a very cute little blob of a baby.
He did measure me at 6 wks 6 days (which matches my LMP but not when I ovulated). It's only 3 days different but it moves my EDD to 2/27. I will likely straddle boards but I don't want to leave you ladies. Especially since I am closer in timeline to most of you here.
Please add your first US stuff in here too and we can all squee about it!

I feel ya, nuggetrn! I had my first US with the RE last Friday and I'm still basking in the feeling of seeing the baby. Baby measured right at 6 weeks last (as of Friday) with HB of 117. They printed out pics for us too and I want to hang them all over everywhere in my house, but since we haven't told a ton of people, I've been trying to restrain myself. We saw what the RE described as the "diamond ring" (yolk sac is the ring I believe, baby is the diamond) and saw/heard the HB. MH, who has very little prior knowledge of all things pregnancy/baby, was so amped, which was awesome to see! |

I have the US pictures hung on the fridge and they will probably stay there. Nobody comes over here anyway, lol. Of course someone will drop by and I'll forget. Haha. |

First Dr appt today and they sent me for an us as well. They booked me in for this afternoon which amazed me. My bladder wasn't full enough at first so I sat around drinking water for an hour ( great fun with a toddler!). Then she couldn't find the baby that way so I needed to empty my bladder and use the wand anyway. Lol oh well.
Measuring 5w5d with a hb of 103

I had my first Ultrasound on this past Monday, July 10th. I actually did not expect them to do an ultrasound this early, so I told my husband to not worry coming to the office with me.
They found a gestational sac that measured right on track at 4 weeks, 5 days. Too soon for a heartbeat. But they scheduled me for another ultrasound on July 31st. I'll make sure my husband goes then, and hopefully, we will hear a heartbeat. So, now I just play the "hurry-up--and-wait" game until then.

I had my dating scan today! Tech said my uterus was tilted so it was hard to get baby on screen, but I saw a little heartbeat! Like, literally all I saw was a heart flickering, not a little bean with the heart inside. Tech said all looks good though. My dates are about right but the report was sent to my NP.

I had my first OB appt yesterday and he did one. We got to see and hear the heartbeat. According to LMP, I should be 6 weeks 3 days but the baby was measuring 5 weeks 6 days. The heartbeat was 94 bpm. I'm going for a dating ultrasound in two weeks. My doctor wasn't worried about measuring behind but of course I spiraled on Google last night and have anxiety about it. The heartbeat seems low to me too. I need the next two weeks to fly bye.

cp3 baby's heart likely just started beating, everything is likely fine. Google can be the worst.

cp3With my DD1 I had an u/s at 5w6d and her heartbeat was only 95. Two weeks later the u/s showed everything right on track and she's a perfectly healthy 3 year old now. I know it's hard not to worry. I hope your next u/s gives you some peace of mind.

I had my 2nd u/s today and baby is measuring right on track with a HB of 178. My son's HB was always in the 170s too. I do have a small SCH near the cervix. My RE isn't that concerned about it.

cp3, at 6 weeks, my DD's HR was only 80. I was freaked out at the time but her heart probably had just started beating. Hoping for the same outcome for you.

good luck mattsgirl2004. I'm so jelly of all the ultrasounds. My OB won't even let you schedule your first ultrasound until after your first appointment. And your first appointment can't be until week 7/8. So I have my first appointment Wednesday and probably won't get in for an ultrasound for another two weeks! |

Good luck mattsgirl2004! cornpop my doc is the same. And they didn't even have an initial appt open until Sept 15th😩 I'll be 8w6d and probably won't get an ultrasound until at least a week later. I just keep telling myself it will be cool to see it look like an actual baby! My ultrasound with DD looked like a gummy bear at 8w0d:) |

cornpop what about a dating scan though? I know for midwives you don't see them until 8-12 weeks but I always have my GP send me for a dating scan and blood work.

My GP has nothing to do with the pregnancy. The first time the ob practice (midwife or not) will see me is 8w1d on Wednesday. The first ultrasound will be the rating scan plus NT I think? I forget honestly. Last time I think I had 3 ultrasounds total... ETA: I just checked and I only had two ultrasounds last time. One at 12 weeks and the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. |

Mh's out of town later this month and I have no one to watch DS so my IPS scan isn't until September 1st. I'm totally wishing the summer away. |

I had my dating ultrasound this morning. After measuring behind last appt baby was measuring ahead based on LMP. My official due date got moved up two days so it's March 28th from March 30th. Baby looked great and the heartbeat was 174 bpm. I feel so relieved now.
