Lots of people have their first appointments coming up. AW your updates and ultrasounds here!

I am not sure if adding the image worked (rookie over here) and will play with it until I figure it out, but that was from my US last Monday. Everything looked great and HR was 148. (edited for pic)

Not the best photo, but from our appt yesterday - 7w6d.

First ultrasound was at 5+4, no fetal pole and no picture.

Second ultrasound was yesterday at 8+2 and all looks healthy and good!

Ultrasound in spoiler because I don't know how to make it not enormous.

I am measuring a week behind so new EDD is 4/18. This was my first PP cycle and I knew I probably ovulated late. Heart rate was 114. I go back in 4 weeks for another scan to just make sure the heartbeat is strong.

ETA: new due date lines up with the ovulation date FF predicted.

Sounds like nothing to worry about which is great! TBH I lied about lmp (adjusted it based on when I ovulated) because I don't particularly want to hear that the baby is measuring behind even if I know there's nothing to worry about.

I'm super jealous of you all!! My clinic won't do an US until 7w3d. I got beta confirmation of pregnancy in week 4 so this feels like an eternity!

I'm glad I was tracking my ovulation. OB wasn't concerned at all since it was my first PP cycle. Last pregnancy, I had a 6week scan with my son and they couldn't pick up a heartbeat yet so seeing it today was a relief.

Same. I just got my blood work confirming and made my first appointment for 9/23. I'll be 8w5d

[megd893]

cmac6186 did you do multiple blood at least? Or just one test? It's so far away still!

[heisenberg]

Good appointment today! Strong heartbeat (no idea what it was) and measuring right on target. They set my DD at 4/8 based on LMP. I think our gummy bear is pretty cute.

[thenewkmr]

heisenberg yay for a great appointment!!

[cmac6186]

megd893 just one bloodtest. I had one normal pregnancy 2 years ago so I guess there's no reason to go in any sooner.

[mustloveerica]

Just got back from our first ultrasound. I shouldn't be surprised but I still am...but we are having TWINS!!!!!! I'm both terrified and excited. Both baby's are measuring a couple days ahead but they are not changing the due date yet. Baby A is measuring 7 weeks + 1 day with a heart rate of 148 and Baby B is measuring 7 weeks +1 day with a heart rate of 142. I'm so so so so in shock. I'm still shaking. After years of struggling I can't believe I'm going to have TWO babies!!!!

[onesweetworld]

[heisenberg]

mustloveerica, I'm so incredibly happy for you!!!

[rowe]

mustloveerica congratulations!! That is so exciting! My best friend has twins and it has been so cool to watch them grow up together.

I'm so jealous! In Canada we don't have any real appointments until after 10 weeks (at least I don't). I'm not even meeting my midwives until September 14 and won't have my first ultrasound until the middle/end of September. So. Far. Away.

The only reason for the early appointments is because we are still seeing an RE. We did IVF to get these babies. Once we graduate from the RE an OB won't see us until closer to 12 weeks. It's a blessing and curse I guess haha.

Oh I see! Makes sense. Congrats again, honestly seeing my gf's twins interact with each other is one of my favourite things on earth. They are heart melting!
