Fundal Height

[FertileMertel]

So I am on feeling on the more hopeful side that this isn't an ectopic because this morning, for the first time, I could feel my fundas! My reasoning is if my uterus is growing than the baby must be implanted there, right? I am also feeling less crampy and painful. All good signs, I hope!

Can you really already feel your fundus? i was wondering about this the other day. I thought it didn't rise above your pubic bone until around 12 weeks (slightly earlier for second and beyond pregnancies). I'm glad to know you are feeling more hopeful. Hang in there!

You are right. Around 12-13 weeks would be normal. Maybe I'm just crazy but I can feel a round firmness just above my pubic bone. Maybe there is just scare tissue there from my previous surgeries.

That's not funny! That's what my mom keeps saying and twins run in my family! Oh, that is so overwhelming I think I would cry! My first child has not been very easy. I can't imagine two the same age on top of that! Well, we will know on Monday after my first u/s.

What are they going to be able to see on the U/S this early??? I am asking bc I am supposed to get a heartbeat/us check thing when i am barely 6 weeks and I have heard that you can't hear ANYTHING sometimes which I know will just make me nervous. Can they see if the baby is viable this early?

For me, the primary concern is ectopic pregnancy due to my history of endometriosis and 2 laparoscopies (causing scar tissue). At this stage, they make sure the embryo is implanted in the right place. The yoke sac can be seen and hopefully the heartbeat can be seen as well (not heard). These are hopeful signs that it is a healthy pregnancy/baby.
