Hey guys! I'm due October 8th according to when my last menstrual cycle was. My first ultrasound is on Friday. What should I expect to see and learn with this ultrasound? I'll be about 6.5 weeks.

Im due october 10th according to my lst menstrul cycle

im due october 8th as well!!! congrats🥰

Probably not much, a sac maybe hear the heartbeat but also can be normal to not hear the HB this early so don't worry. Congrats!

That's exciting!

First, I want to drink 32 oz water 45 minutes before your appointment. Bring into the room after paperwork. Go over what you're doing first and ask you to use the bathroom in the private facilities in the scan room.
Then, ask you to get undress 1/2 way or fully in a hospital gown.
They will first try to do abnormal scan with gel and a on top of your belly. Using that early, I can't see anything because all other organs are in the way.

The technician will xray your ovaries by the gel and what looks like a scanner on the sides of your bell with some pressure.

Then, if you can't see with gel, they will do a vaginal scan, and we saw our baby right away this way.
They tell actually what they will do, but basically, it's some warming lube and a skinny wand camera into your vaginal area, and then you get to see babies' heartbeat and your baby gummy bear. 😘 we were 7 weeks 3 days when we say ours. I'm due Sept 4th.

Hope this helps. Congratulations 🎊

Sorry ! I thought it said what to expect, so I took it literally! 😆 🤣

31 weeks here! You’ll probably see your little baby the size of a bean lol and heartbeat. They might have to do an intravaginal ultrasound.. I had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks too and had to do one. I still have my ultrasound pictures from then and baby still had her little tail 🥹 Congrats on your new baby!! 💓 I’m so excited for you

You honestly don't see much, just a little blob (the sac with the baby), but it doesn't look like a baby at this point. They just check for a healthy heartbeat and measure to see how far along you are in your pregnancy. You may or may not be able to hear the heart beat, as it is still really early. I LOVE the early pregnancy ultrasounds as you get to see the 'blob' turn into a little tiny human, it's pretty amazing! Congrats.

Honestly that's super helpful!

I’m due October 13th

Due Oct 3!! And had my ultrasound yesterday and I saw and heard my baby's heartbeat! 🥰

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
