Ordinarily I would have just one (well, last time I had a second when an OB friend of mine begged to see the baby).

This time I'll also most likely have 2. One tomorrow to rule out an ectopic pregnancy (although I have zero sypmtoms of that, this OB just likes to sound the alarms, I think, which is why I'll be running back to my midwives after this early work is completed) and a second, a level II, at 19/20 weeks. I'm just coming off of a m/c in April, so, it will also put my mind at ease about how this is progressing at this point.

please pray or send vibes that i do get to see a strong heartbeat. what i am worried about most is having to tell dp something is wrong. i'll know in an hour- i sure hope everything is ok!
Good luck. I hope everything goes well.

Good luck to ms. shell!






I *might* get one this time around. I didn't last time, and have no desire to have an U/S, but we are considering UP/UC this pg, and DH feels like he would like an U/S to make him more comfortable with the UC. For me, that's a small price to pay to get what I want.

: one baby, one heartbeat (122bpm), and all is measuring exactly right. I know we conceived on monday the 14th which puts me at 6w2d and that is exactly what everything measures.: can't wait to tell dp! thanks for the vibes, mamas.

Oh, oh, oh! That's great news ms. shell. Can you please send some of those thoughts my way for tomorrow morning. I'll be 6w3d at that time. At 5w3d they saw 2 sacs, but nothing else. I'm really praying for a heartbead (or two) tomorrow. Then I'll probably come out of lurking and officially join the DDC. :

I had a vag u/s today, and it made me feel tons better, because I was able to see my little seahorse's heartbeat.

Congrats Ms. shell : and *bebe ::

Good Luck Julia's Mom. Hope all goes well tomorrow. : :

*bebe and Julia's mom: what were your beta numbers? I am obsessing ever since we were told ours were a little high and the possibility of twins was mentioned. I guess we will find out on Friday one way or the other.

Congratulations *bebe and ms. shell!!! That's wonderful news!

I'm planning on an early u/s just to check dates and a heartbeat - I'm still nervous after my last pregnancy. If all goes well, I hope to only have one other u/s at 20 weeks to find out the gender. Last time, I had to have an u/s every other week starting at 19 weeks, then every week after we lost one of our DD's at 27 weeks. I really hope to avoid that this time.
