WOW!! Maybe it's because your not so sick anymore!! YAY!!! Your pics made me cry. Such a long way you've come!! When is your ultrasound? The 6th? Why do i think the 6th? I can't look back unless I exit out of this screen...shoot! Should've did that first!!

He checked my Hcg yesterday which ended up being 10,100. He was happy with the ultrasound, but wants one more to get a heartbeat. It's scheduled for March 8th at 1430.

Hey girly!

My u/s on the 6th is with maternal fetal medicine at a different hospital than where I'm delivering. This was the soonest they can get me in. I'm scheduled for an u/s with my Dr. on the 19th. That's my 20 week u/s. I'm assuming he'll keep that one scheduled even though I'm going on the 6th. I haven't heard any different.

Holy cow I feel huge today!! And I have a waddle!! I think that's mostly from the Sciatica and the sore inner thigh/ligaments. This little chunk is pinching all kinds of nerves. lol

U/s March 8th.... for a HB!!!I had one around that time...it was 112bpm. I couldn't hear it...but I could see it on the screen.

I'll be waiting for word on the sixth!!! I'll be sending lots and lots of good vibes out for you both!! I can't believe you're almost at the 20 week mark!! Awe!!!! A waddle?? That's cute!! I'm sure with the sciatica it doesn't FEEL cute!! Ow ow ow. I'm always catching my breath now. Like short of breath...but I know it's super normal...just catches me by surprise. 112 eh? I would be estatic with a 112

I'm betting the heart rate was probably a little stronger than 112 at the time, but baby was so small it was hard for her to get it. Here's how big baby was when they got that hr:

I'm going to have to take pics and upload the first ultrasound pic and the two i got from yesterday. Mine look close to yours!! YAY!!! I have to find a baby book to start putting these pics into....and having them on photobucket is nice too. I hope you have a good day!!!! Thank you for the pic...it's super encouraging!! I'll try and post pics later :) Ohhhh. And yesterday she gave me a new due date of October 23rd. Better change the ticker.

I was 6w3d in that u/s but measuring 5w5d. At my 12 w u/s I was measuring right on track. :-) So don't be afraid if you measure small in the beginning. xo

Here's the photo from 5w3d:

I thought the second ones look similar to yours

Aw! It does! Do you have any idea how excited you just made me?!?! Yay!!

I can't believe this. LISTEN to THIS. So, I was reading over the ultrasound report, when I read again "There is a small 9mm fluid collection eccentrically to the left at the dome of the uterus, probably in the cornuea, representing a small gestational sac." Well, I looked up cornuea because I didn't recognize the word and you know what??? It represents the 1% of placement of the most fatal ECTOPIC pregnancies. I am not having another ultrasound to check for heartbeat, I am having that ultrasound to check for placement. He let me think that....when he called me I said "we did see a yolk sac" and he said, " yes I was looking at it with the radiologist"...it didn't even CLICK in my brain that that was weird. HE DIDN"T EVEN MENTION IT TO ME. I think he's trying to keep me from panicking, BUT that type of ectopic can rupture and bleed out fast because it's right on an artery. OH FOR PETE"S SAKE!!!!

You're doing research again!!! Ok. I get it. I know you can't help it any more than I can help looking at u/s pics of DS babies. :-(

At this point, regardless of why he's looking, or why he told you the way he did....you are getting another u/s. So let's try to hold on to that ray of hope, k?
