Hi Ladies
I have been distracted from worrying about this u/s because my DH is having an appendectomy and is in surgery. This all happened last night so I haven't been worrying about my pregnancy for once! I shall hopefully have a happy update on him later. Meanwhile...
My 7w 2d u/s went wonderfully. Even I was (dare I say?) 'hopeful' afterwards.
The baby now measures 7w 5d (7w 4d on some views) and has a h/b of 167 (up from 122 last week). We could see the egg sac, the amnion, even the beginnings of the little placenta. The sac was reassuringly ovoid in shape without the weird peanut shape of last week (which I was told was FINE btw).
There were even the beginnings of arm and leg buds and the black space in the skull showed where the head was. The tech was wonderful and explained how that black dot shows where the ventricles will develop.
So, I felt wonderfully nauseous throughout but not from nerves. The RE came in to see me afterwards and said everything looks great. It is still early days but everything is developing exactly right and that odds improve with each week that passes.
My next appointment is Friday 12th same time.
