Babies heartbeat

It really is awesome and they're worth the purchase in my opinion. My sister has one that she let me use last time before I miscarried. Since we're not telling anyone this time until twelve weeks, I'm debating buying my own.

good luck on your scans today ladies! can't wait to see some beautiful babies!

 

[Ibelieveitwil]

So we got to my drs office and he did the scan right away, he thought I was coming in for a follicle scan so I was confused anyway it was an internal which I thought it would be... And there they were, my two little babies, with two little heartbeats, I could see in the one the heart beating straightaway and I got emotional Then he let us hear then and it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Twin A was measuring 6w5d twin b 6w3d, heart beats 143 & 136.

He was happy with the result, he said after you hear the heart beat there is a 89% success rate, after 12 weeks it goes up to 98%. My next scan is at 12 weeks but he offered for us to come in free of charge and have one done in between because he said 12 weeks is so far away to see my babies again! So we will probably go again at 10 weeks!

He also wants me to go to a fetal maternal specialist at 12 weeks because its twins we just want to make sure everything is okay. So I have attached a pic of my twins which he labelled as "trouble 1 & 2" I am so in love with them already! I asked him if there is anything I need to do differently with a twin pregnancy and he said "Yes, run away"

how big was your ges sac do you no, at this stage and do you have a pic of that, as im kinda in same boat atm and worried

It feels so good to see the scans of the ladies here... How wonderful it must be to hear the heartbeat and see the baby...! I am 5 w 2 d pregnant and I have my first doctor appointment this Friday. I am not even sure if they would do the Ultrasound then. I am yet to have the pap smear this year... So, maybe she will do that and just a regular pregnancy test?

If they do a transvaginal u/s, what can we expect to see during 5 w + 4 days? Can we hear/see a heartbeat at this point of time?

I had a transvaginal at 6+1 and all they could see was a gestational sac, and the start of a yolk sac. No heartbeat at that stage. From what I've read, heartbeats can be detected from 6 weeks onwards, but it's usually 7 weeks which is more reliable.

I don't know I'm afraid. I was being scanned for suspected ectopic, which ended up being OHSS, so they weren't really focusing on the baby as such, apart from identifying that it was there and at the right stage. And no, we didn't get any pics from that scan.

So we got to my drs office and he did the scan right away, he thought I was coming in for a follicle scan so I was confused anyway it was an internal which I thought it would be... And there they were, my two little babies, with two little heartbeats, I could see in the one the heart beating straightaway and I got emotional Then he let us hear then and it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.

Aw! How lovely! He sounds like a nice doctor!

Arrgghhh there's Brie in the fridge at work and now I really really want some! It's not fair!

 

[CaliDreaming]

Ibelieveitwill, great scan pics. So glad everything went well!

Confuzion, good luck on yours!! I'm sure everything will be fine.

Thank you girls. I can't even put into words how nervous I am. There are butterflies--no wasps--wreaking havoc in my stomach.

Today is a big make-or-break for me. If all is well, I like to think I'll start to relax a little more. I can't even imagine what would happen if this experience was like my last first ultrasound (I can't help but compare even though the situation was different then).

I'm ready to get this moving so I know once and for all. I'm already showered up and dressed, and we're not leaving until over an hour from now . Then we have almost a 1hr20min drive to get there. They're far but I've found them worth the trouble. Plus the childbirth center is 5 minutes away from where my family lives so I always make it a day of visiting them as well. Today is a halloween so double the fun as I have many little nephews who I can't wait to see in their little costumes

Sorry. I think I get kind of chatty when I'm nervous

 

[SweetMel]

Good luck confusion!

 

[Mangoes]

I hope everything goes well confuzion!

I had my first prenatal visit + scan this week! I was totally nervous, I had so many things rushing through my mind. I was so scared if they would find something wrong, but alas everything was just fine! I'm actually 7 weeks and 4 days, so just a day behind what I thought I was. We saw the baby's heartbeat and it was so strong at 156 BPM.

I also got my blood work done and my hcg was nice and high, which is a big slap in the face to the rude doctor I encountered in the emergency room who was hell bent on telling me I was miscarrying!

That's wonderful news Mangoes! I knew everything would turn out well. That doctor sounded and truly was an idiot!

Thanks for the well wishes!

 

[CaliDreaming]

Mangoes, that's such great news!

Confuzion, I know it's hard not to worry, but just try to focus on all of the reasons why everything is going to go right this time!
