Heartbeat!!

Ladies-

We just got back from our first ultrasound where we saw the heartbeat!! It was 131--seems low to me, but with our first the heartbeat (with the m/c) was only 101. The tech said this was normal. Is it?? Anyway, I'm measuring 6w5d, which it right on target for when I thought I ovulated. According to my period, I should be 7w5d, but my cycle has been longer so I didn't ovulate when I normally do. Things seem ok so far. I hope it continues!

Mindy-

Everything sounds good. I think the heart rate will get faster in the next few weeks. I had an u/s at 7 weeks and it was 143 and then at 8 wks it was 171. Congrats...I'm sure you feel relieved now.

Hey Mindy!

Congrats! I know the relief you must feel to see that strong, beating heart! Looks like we are on the same track as far as appointments go! When do you go back? We can help keep eachother going in between appointments :)

Hugs,

Stephanie-

Pregnant buddy! I go back on Friday to have my regular (long) appointment--the first one. I was able to be squeezed into an ultrasound before my appt. which was nice. Our ultrasound tech just had a baby herself, so her sub is only there a few days. Anyway, I go on Friday and I'll find out when I can have another ultrasound. when's yours?

Hey Mindy!

Ooh..you're lucky. My next appointment isn't until my 12 week appt. on JAN. 4!!! How am I going to make it that long?? I was kind of hoping that after today's u/s, my doctor would just "throw" another one in there before Jan. But, I realize that there isn't a true "medical" reason why I would need another one so soon (except, does keeping my sanity count as a medical rason??)! Did you doctor confirm a due date for you yet? Today, mine told us July 19!! My DS was 2 weeks early, so I'm wondering if we are going to have a little firecracker on our hands :)

Take care,
Stephanie

Mindy,

The h/b rate is completely normal. It will speed up in a week or two. When I had my first u/s at 6 weeks 1 day the h/b was only 121. At my ten week appt. the doppler was able to pick it up and it was in the upper 140s.
