8 week ultrasound
9
Mon, 08-08-2005 - 9:46pm

I had a third ultrasound this week (now there's a 2+week wait for my OB appointment!). There's been no more spotting and the ultrasound showed a fast heartbeat and baby measuring 8w 3d. The OB said everything looks perfect, which is a relief.

The measurements were 19mm long and with little beginning limbs (looking like a gummi bear).

Of course, the mind of a women PAL is a devious thing and I have managed to find one thing to worry about. Last week the baby measured 7w 5d (7 days ago). Today, 8w 3d (exactly my LMP date). So, I am worried about those growthless two days. Of course I KNOW the ultrasound measurements by the OBs on the little blurry u/s machine (not the big one they use for detailed stuff) is not exact but I have found this slight anomaly to obsess about.

Relax, relax... I know :)

Oh Shannon...you had a wonderful appt...don't worry about those 2 days! My bean went from being 4 days behind to the next week being 6 days behind to the next week only being 2 days behind (hope that makes sense...we had a lot of early u/s due to low progesterone). I think they kinda grow at their own pace! :) (((HUGS))) and congrats on the wonderful hb! There is nothing like seeing/hearing that beautiful hb! belly rubs to you!

Congratulations Shannon- there's nothing like hearing/seeing that little h/b for the first time. Remember that U/S's are not an exact science and 2 days of growth either way is nothin'. You make yourself worry about a lot of things for awhile. I think it was when the baby started kicking me from the inside out that I finally relaxed.
