12 week ultrasound!!!!

[Gemz]

Yay yay yay! Today we had our first ultrasound - how amazing! I have to admit I was so worried. All weekend (well for the last 2 months really) I've been having panic attacks about there not actually being a baby. Today was like a weight was lifted. To see him/her was the most special moment. We could see his/her little hands and feet moving - so very cute!

Oh and I discovered I'm 2 days further along than I thought - 12 weeks and 2 days - yay!

Hopefully you can see the lovely photo - we love it!

aww, so great. 12 week scans are amazing!!
what were yours crown-to-rump and BPD measurements if you don't mind sharing?

 

[Gemz]

Ahh thanks for your replies. The 'crown to rump' lenght was 59.6cm so almost 6cm. We only thought when we got home that we didn't get to hear the heartbeat or see how fast it was. All I noticed was that there was one there. I had so many questions, but as soon as I saw him/her I forgot them all. I was so amazed that he/she was there in my belly and kicking away. It was the best!

aww that's awesome. I love the picture! I have all of mine on the refrigerator.
I hope your worrying stops now that you got to see the baby. and good luck on the rest of the pregnancy!

 

[AquaDementia]

excellent. my CRL at that time was 59.5 mm.
Babies sure know how big they need to be at a certain time.
Good luck with everything!

 

[Gemz]

Ahh that's such a similar size to mine - very good to know. Sorry was meant to be in 59.6mm not 59.6cm. That would be big!!!

Oh Gemz, I am so pleased to read your post, I have totally been feeling the same way, like there really is nothing/one in there. I am glad to see that I am not the only one to have this thought.

WOW, that is amazingly clear! The baby is so cute already! I wish I could have a 12wk US. I'm so jealous!

[DeeStar03]

It looks like it could be a boy??? I see something sticking up...down by the belly.

 

[Gemz]

Ahh I know. That would be sweet. boy or girl, we really don't mind. The midwife said it was the umbilical cord, either that or he's very gifted - LOL!!!!

 

[DeeStar03]

Ohhh thats good to know!!!... pretty cool!
