Question about my Ultrasound ladies and Dr's!
October 14, 2008
Ok...I have been putting this off b/c I am trying so hard not to be a big ol' worry wart but I need to ask ya'll!
When I went in for my US on 10/3/08, by my clock I was 7 weeks and 4 days. The US lady said .." I think we caught you early". Well that in itself freaked me out b/c you girls know how we watch our bodies with this TTC Stuff. So the baby measured at like 6 weeks 6 days. Is that normal? Then...the Heart rate was 132...That seems low to me b/c everybody else says their baby was 165 or up......Now I still have sore bb's to the touch or when I roll over on them, but really I am feeling better in the stomach dept. Still mega time constipated. AND if I get hungry...I'm so sick. BUT no throwing up now and I am 9 weeks one day. Is this normal?

KEM- the doctors office has been off with me (as far as how pregnant they say I am ) by 2 days from the beginning.
You are right- WE KNOW when we got pregnant because we are watching like hawks!
As far as the measuring- its A ok- I dont think Ive EVER measured exactly on. Its always give or take a few days.... its ok.
And as for the HB- Our babies HB was 117 the first time we caught it- and it went WAY up to like 170's and has now leveled off in the 140's 130's. (Im almost 34 weeks pregnant) so dont worry- there is really no pattern AT ALL with the hb until you are much farther along.
COngrats KEM I think you are well on your way to a happy healthy 9 months. Oh and the fact you are worrying now- just shows youll be a great Mommy!

Hi Kem!
Dont worry hun! The same thing heppened to me too! I went in for my ultrasound at 6w2d and the baby was measuring 6w6d and I had the ovulation shot with iui so we knew exactly when I ovulated! It can measure a few days early or late! As long as there was a strong heartbeat thats all that matters! And that heartrate is normal. My baby's was 120 at 6w2d and he's now almost 4 weeks old! When is your next ultrasound? Congrats on seeing the heartbeat! Wasnt it the most amazing thing?!

i went for my u/s 2 days ago kem, i thought i was 7w 3days, but the baby measured at 6w 3days. this makes scene as i didnt ovulate on cd14 i O'd on cd19. so that in itself would oush me back a week. did you O on cd 14? the method from counting from the first day of our period only really works if we have regular 28 day cycles and ovulate on cd14. so i wouldnt worry. my babys heartbeat was 126bpm, the normal range for this early is 90 to 150. so your purfectley fine. when is your next appointment? i have another u/s on the 4th november, that will make me 9.5 weeks. good luck
Oh yeah, kem, you're sittin' pretty!!! I know it's so easy to worry right now! But we just have to try to relax and take it all in, cuz this is going to be over and we'll be holding our little ones before we know it! I went in at 6w4d, and the h.b. was 138. I just went in Monday at 8w4d and it was up to 183! I was almost more nervous for my second ultrasound...but everything is fine! So just stay positive and believe that you and baby are the healthiest you can be!
