Hi ladies! Had quite a day today! I had a small amount of pinkish red spotting this morning which had me panicked. I called my dr and they had me come in for an ultrasound to check on things. Baby looks great! Measuring right on schedule at 6 wks 1 day and the best part is we got to see a heartbeat! Dr saw a smaller sac to the right of the baby which he said is probably what caused the spotting. He said it should pass on its own and may cause more spotting but it won't harm the baby. I go back for another ultrasound next tues to check on it.

Congrats on the great scan lilrojo!

Cute bumps ladies! I thought I was getting a bump but after my stressful day and not eating much its gone so I guess it was just bloat lol. I lost 2 lbs this week according to the dr.

Oh that is so gorgeous, congratulations!!!!! So pleased for you! So lucky that you get scans this early, I have to wait until 12 weeks... Bummer! Can't wait to see all of our healthy scans here xxx

Feeling really strange today... a bit panicky and anxious. First time since I found out. Really worried something will go wrong. Still have my aches and pulls or the right hand side, so I think I'm getting really worried it will all go wrong...

DH and I have talked about it, and we're going to get a private scan at 7 1/2 weeks, just to make sure pregnancy is viable and hopefully hear heartbeat too. I can't possibly wait until the 12 week one, bad enough having to wait 3 and a bit weeks for this one!!!!!!!!!

Hope the anxiety goes......

Hi ladies
Can I join? I've tried to skim throught the last 45 pages but its hard to keep up!!!
I'm 7 weeks and 4 days today, had an early scan last week (due to recent mc) and saw a beautiful hb at 6 + 3!! Due 7th December!
I have my first midwife appointment today so very excited/nervous about that!! I am now officially the furthest I have ever been in pregnancy so I'm hoping these nerves start to vanish soon...
Nice to meet you all!

I don't blame you, I'm having a hard time waiting till 7 weeks for my scan, there is no way I could wait till 12 to even know if its viable!

Morning sickness (day sickness) has got me

 

[elleff]

Thanks DHBH - appointment went ok! it was all a bit hectic, asked a few questions, filled in a few bits of paperwork, did weight, height etc all ok. My care is going to be consultant lead because of a previous eating disorder. Does anyone know if this will make a difference? They said they don't see my any more regularly or anything, just that I will have to go to the hospital rather than the surgery for my appointments.
I have a midwife coming to see my at home on Tuesday and then I'll get my appointment for my 12 weeks scan through the post apparently!

 

[hope4rainbow]

I have my first appointment this afternoon. I'm terrified! Not sure if they will do an early scan, I hope so!

Brit
I wish if I called they would have me in for a scan but they never do even if I was spotting they don't seem to care before 12 weeks

I feel so bad for the ladies who can't get scans when they want them...is it bc other countries have different healthcare systems? It's pretty expensive to have prenatal care here. Even with insurance covering a portion of it we ended up paying around $2200 when I was pregnant with dd.

 

[diamondlove33]

What countries is everyone in? I'm in the US and if you're lucky enough to have health ins. doctors will see you at 7wks.. (not sure how it works w/ out health ins. ) but I got a scan at 5 wks and have another at 7.. i'm really excited to see our little peanut again but of course still nervous Just want this first trimester to be over, and since I found out at 3wks.. it's a long one!!

I'm in the US, and I got an ultrasound at 6 weeks, going to get another at 9 weeks, and maybe again at 12 weeks. But, that's definitely not the normal, and the first doctor appointment and ultrasound is supposed to be after 10 weeks. If you are not high risk or have something odd going on, then they won't see you in until you're almost in second tri, so it must vary by state as well.

I see a lot of normal low risk pregnant women getting ultrasounds that I wouldn't be able to get either. I get my ultrasounds because I need to check baby placement from only having one ovary and tube after having ovarian cancer (an ectopic would put an end to my baby making days), and I had a missed miscarriage at 13 weeks last time, so they're watching me closer for this pregnancy.

Wow that is crazy! i'm not sure when my next one after this is i'm sure i'll find out at this appt. So sorry to hear about ovarian cancer, however, I hope that your baby sticks! I'm sure he/she will

 

[brit3435]

Yeah it must be different by state as well. My dr does an ultrasound 3 weeks after your bfp normally but I'm on thyroid medication which has to be adjusted frequently during pregnancy so I had to see him sooner. With dd I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks 9 weeks and 18 weeks. Then nothing until she was born just checks for hb. Although you can pay extra for 3d scans at 27 weeks. We didn't do that though.

 

[luz]

i'm in the US and the only routine ultrasound my dr's office does is the one at 20 weeks. I was lucky enough this time to get pregnant without fertility so they did an ultrasound to confirm my due date. My cycles are all over the place so it was just to make sure of the due date. That stupid ultrasound pushed me back 4 weeks! I really think it varries on location as well as doctor. i have a friend who gets one every time she goes because he has a machine in every room.

 

[DHBH0930]

I have no idea what to expect. All I know is I'm getting my first one at 7 weeks...after that I have no clue how often or how many. I will find out I guess at my next appointment. My friend that also had her babies in Tennessee had 3-4 ultrasounds with each.

I was told I will come in every 4 weeks for a check up till later on then it starts increasing in frequency. I hope to have at least 3 u/s: the one at 7 weeks, one at 18-20 for gender and another in between I guess.

I'm really happy to have a 7 week one to check for hb and viability, etc. but I don't want to have to wait till 18-20 weeks to really see something. Since at 7 weeks it will only be a small white spot.
