had an ultrasound yesterday

I drank a ton of water but my bladder wasn't full enough so they had to do a transvaginal, which I figured they would but even with that they couldn't see the baby, just the sac. They said I am 5 weeks and 6 days. which isn't so off from my calculations but apparently is too early for them to determine anything and too early to see a heartbeat, that can usually be detected at 6.5-7 wks.
they said that my mw will probably want me to come back for another one in about 2 weeks to make sure things are okay, I don't know if she will because she only wanted me to get a date, which I did, December 6. I wish it was more reassuring, my husband says I'm a pessimist, I kept saying...but they didn't see a baby, what if theres something wrong, what if its a blighted ovum, what if, what if.....and he kept saying why would anything be wrong you have no history of problems theres no reason to think there will be. I guess he's right but am I the only one who worries about this stuff???

okay...I'm going to be more positive today...now I have a date...I will fill in my pregnancy calendar

Oh, Becca! You're baby is normal! HEy, what do you know!?!? You're right on target! Really, that was a great U/S. I can understand your worry. Seems that pregnancy is filled with worries, but just trusting in the life within you is so precious.

I'm glad the ultrasound went well, but sorry you couldn't see more. Sounds like your baby is right on target!
