My first scan is on wed 4/17 .. anyone else had theirs? What did they see??

I can't wait to hear about your scan! I due dec 15 and my scan is the day after yours! I'm so nervous bc I don't know whether or not we will see a heartbeat that early? I had a scan with dd at 6 wks 1 day and we did see a heartbeat.

My scan is on Thursday at exactly 6 weeks. I'm not betting on seeing a heartbeat, as it seems like it usually kicks in around 6w, 2d. So I'll JUST be missing it! I'm hoping to get a follow up as well.

At 6 weeks you mostly see a sac, a fetal pole and maybe a heartbeat depending.

Brit. Thanks. I swear earlier it was orangish but has now turned to yellow. So hopefully the progesterone increase is all and it is normal. Thanks.

You have a scan on the 17th? I'm so jealous, I don't have one til may 4th at 8weeks. And I only have that one cause I booked it private. Il be waiting to hear how yours goes!!

I havent had many symptoms. My boobs ache most of the time and I have a decreased appetite. I had a wave of nausea on Saturday, and some twinges here and there, but that's it. How are your symptoms?

Nothing major yet, just occasional mild cramping and loss of appetite. Last week I was peeing non-stop and gassy Thankfully that's eased off now!

I won't be having a scan until 12 weeks, so I won't see baby until then Post a photo from your scan if you get some so I can see what my baby looks like

Ladies I definately will post a pic so we can all see whats goin on in there... I had an amazingly increased appetite, but today I keep getting waves of nausea so needless to say not exactly starving.. the gassiness has FINALLY gone away ~ and yes, I do have an early scan but i've been going to my gyno for nearly 10 years now, and he delivered me and my brother haha! So i'm lucky b/c I get special treatment. After this scan I have another on the 29th @ 7wks!

Looking forward to seeing everyone's scans! Mine will be exactly at 7 weeks on the 30th...so I should see a heartbeat, I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I will be devastated if I don't see anything... I'm sure its nerve wracking with any pregnancy, but I feel like for me at least it will be more so this time since its my first. I've heard of so many women being laid back about not having any symptoms, saying its lucky, which I'm sure it is, I just can't help but assume the worst, its just in my nature I can totally see myself closing my eyes or looking away till someone tells me there is a heartbeat and its doing great, then they won't be able to tear me away from the monitor

I feel the same EXACT way!! I keep thinking something is wrong and when I have cramping I just KNOW something is wrong and my mind goes CRAZY! I hope that after the first scan i'll be able to relax.. just hoping i see SOMETHING

Im having kind of stabbing pains at the moment. They were on the right side, but theyve moved into the middle now. Very low down, kind of at the top of my pubic bone. has anyone had this? they're not constant, its like a flash pain...

 

[Lara310809]

I'm not sure I'd appreciate an early scan; I'd LIKE seeing my baby, and I'd want the reassurance, but I'm not sure I'd make sense of the sac, the blob of the baby etc. I get it when it looks like a baby, but the early scans you have to be told what things are I'm still jealous though; we don't get any confirmation of pregnancy until that 12 week scan, so up until that point I have no idea whether the heart is beating, or the baby is growing or anything

We told my MIL two days ago, and word is getting around. While we were there she called her mother, and this evening we got two PMs, from my SIL and OH's cousin (which means her mum, OH's aunt also knows). My parents don't even know yet LOL

 

[ready2Bmum]

You decided to tell early? does it bother you that they're telling other people?
I dont know what to do. we have the 8w scan on saturday 4th, and we were going to tell both families that day. But now theres an occassion with my family the night before. they live about 2 hours away so i cant go on the friday AND the saturday. I dont know when we'll tell them now. i really didnt want to say anything before seeing the heartbeat.

yes and they scared the hell out of me.. mine have pretty much stopped.. I think its just our bodies getting used to a new little resident

Re: telling early:
We also told early, as in within three days of us knowing, so did everyone else! We had a miscarriage at 13 weeks last time, which made us realize that there is no "safe point". But we had such wonderful support because of everyone knowing, it helped so much to feel everyone's support during that rough period. I definitely wouldn't change it, so even though we're confident in this baby, we told early anyway, just in case. I wanted to give everyone a chance to celebrate this baby with us, day by day.

Our inlaws were also told without us getting to, which was a let down as we had a special way we wanted to tell them (and already spent $25 on it!). It was somehow leaked to one person, who went and told everyone, so they didn't act very excited when we got to tell them once we knew they knew. Oh well, can't get it perfect every time!

Hi, yes I had this last week for an evening, but haven't had it since, think it just may have been everything 'stretching' x

 

[Lara310809]

Yes we to,d early with every pregnancy. We figured that we wanted those close to us to know,whether it ended happily or not. The problem is that now we can't keep it a secret even if we want to; in my second pregnancy I bloated so much that people knew by the time I was 6wks. I guess I knew they would hear about it, but I'm worried it will get onto Facebook before I have a chance to tell my parents. My dad flies in on 24th, and ill be skyping my mum after that. After that point I dont care who knows

Cue the painful boobs and my daughter has been feeding from them non-stop this evening; ouch

 

[SugarBeth]

Lara, I know what you mean - my daughter has wanted to constantly nurse since about two days before I found out I was pregnant. It's like they know and feel threatened that someone else is coming to take their milk! Lol. I'm trying to get her down to morning/nap/night, but she is refusing that completely!

We have a problem keeping a secret due to me getting so sick each time. After 6 weeks, forget it - if I'm near someone, they're going to know I'm pregnant after ten minutes! lol

 

[DrGomps]
