U/S results

Not as exciting as I had hoped.... :-)

The tech could only see the sac.  Which is what I expected at 5 weeks, 3 days.  However, the tech said I was measuring 5 weeks, 6 days, which has me a little concerned because that is almost 6 weeks and there was still nothing in the sac that we could see. 

I guess I just have to wait a few more weeks and go back for another to get more definitive answers!  We were just hoping that we would see something that would let us finally relax and start to enjoy the pregnancy, but we are still left holding our breath and hoping for the best....Tongue Tied

Re: U/S results

  • I really wouldn't worry about the 3 day difference. I'm sure it will all be fine and that the little one is growing perfectly normal. I know its easier for them to guesstimate how far along you are earlier in the pregnancy, but if it were a difference of a week or something like that I'd be more worried. Take a deep breath - and just trust that your body will grow a perfectly healthy baby regardless of how far an ultrasound tech thinks you are.

    Really, all you need to be doing now is relaxing and enjoying this - I didn't 'see' anything until around 12 weeks so for those first 12 weeks I was left wondering if I really was pregnant (besides the obvious ms, nausea and lack of period!). DH and I joked that for all we knew it could be a litter of kittens inside, not a baby! haha Wink

  • You really are right at the threshold of when a heartbeat might be visible.  Don't fret!  Next time around you'll get your big payoff, and a visible little gummy bear to boot!  And don't wait to "enjoy" your pregnancy! 
  • I actually had my first u/s at right around the same time as you and the dr. didn't see anything but the sac. Which of course had me worried a little bit, but it all turned out ok (just look at my siggy Smile) Try not to worry too much and enjoy being pregnant! When's your next appointment?
  • I'm sorry that it wasn't as great as you hoped, but keep your chin up.  I'm sure things will be much better at your next appt.

  • Stressing out is definitely not good for the body, so just try to relax and enjoy the next 9 months...I'm sure everything is fine and you will have a happy and healthy baby! =)

  •  I agree with the comments on trying not to stress--although easier said than done I know. I'm already celebrating for you! As I'm learning, pregnancy is such a surprising, wonderful journey. Enjoy the subtle changes in your body. Keep us updated!
  • I know how hard it is to relax (I definitely had trouble with this), but try anyway :)  it is best for you and baby!
  • Hey, so just to let you know I had my first U/S at 7 weeks so you are right about there. Just relax and breathe.

    I have said some prayers for you both.

     

     

  • Aww...just think of your next U/S when you'll get to see the little girl/guy in there!  Sending you lots of worry-free vibes until then :)
