One beautiful heartbeat!! 6 weeks
We went in for our 1st ultrasound on Tuesday (7/31/07) and saw one amazing baby PLUS a beautiful heartbeat! We didn't know if we'd be able to see it since it was so early (I was 5 weeks and 6 days) but there it was. A beautiful flicker on the screen. We couldn't hear it yet but it was there. I feel kind of sad that I don't know where the other one went but I feel so blessed and thankful for the baby that I have growing inside of me. I still can't believe after 16 years I finally am pregnant again!! I am definitely feeling pregnant now! LOL Starting yesterday I have been nauseaus pretty much all day and night. It's off and on but it's there. Food is not my friend. I'm starving but then it starts my stomach being upset. I haven't had to throw up (thank goodness!) but today I was pretty close. I never threw up with my son (just felt pretty much like I do today - nauseaus all day starting mid morning) so hopefully it will be similar. I'm definitely exhausted. Apparently our little sweet pea is going through quite a growth spurt this week so that may explain the exhaustion. In any case I am VERY happy and very very thankful. I just feel so blessed to have this miracle. I will post the ultrasound picture when I get home. It's hard to see because the doc put the cross-hairs up to measure when she took the picture and the little one is so tiny that the cross-hairs take up most of the viewing area! LOL But it was amazing. We go back in on the 14th for our 2nd ultrasound and I'll be 7 weeks 6 days for that one so we should be able to see a lot more and maybe even get to hear the heartbeat. Better go for now. Just wanted to update since I've been a little bad about that. I'll also see if I can get a picture of me up here (?) yikes!!! I am still quite bloated so I look a lot more preggo than I am. The doc said my ovaries are still very swollen so I am to take it very easy. I guess that explains the tummy situation. :-) I figure by the time the bloating goes away it will be full of baby so I'm just getting used to it. LOL

Hi I went to the doctor Friday and I'm 5 w 6 d and there was a heart beat but slow 71bpm. Doctor said it was lower and if I had bleeding. I said no.I had a Ivf and he said I should be 6 w 4 days. I'm so scared.I go back in 10 days.please help
Hi pinky. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that everything goes well with your pregnancy. I remember all too well how hard the first trimester is. When they are that early it's sometimes difficult to measure them exactly. With my youngest son we got different "due dates" every time we went in. The first one was moved back almost 2 weeks! He ended up being a 9 lb 4 oz 22 in baby that was born at 38 weeks 5 days which should have been just over his original due date (before they moved it). Let me know how you are doing!
Thank you for your reply! I do feel really pregnant but scared that the heart beat will be the same or not there.I do thank you for your prayers. Did you have a Ivf also?

I had two IVF's. The first one resulted in a miscarriage at 10 weeks (everything looked fine until then) and the 2nd one resulted in my twins. My youngest was a happy little surprise when the twins were 7 months old. We were very shocked to say the least. Just keep thinking positive thoughts. When I did my IVF with the twins I meditated at least once a day, did very mild and relaxing yoga as often as I felt I could and tried to keep my stress level as low as possible. I also did a lot of praying, positive thinking, and talking to them. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. The best thing you can do for your baby is just to try and relax, think positively, and if you are feeling anxious write it in a journal or something to get it out and move on. Those things helped me.
Hi Lisa!Well I went to the ER yesterday morning. I had a very bad reaction to progesterone shot.I had a hard time breathing . The good news is that everything came out good even the heart beat. It was 132.Im so happy!!!I'm still resting alot and praying.I just wanted to update you.
Hi pinky :-) I'm sorry to hear about the bad reaction but I'm glad that the ER was able to reassure you the baby is doing well. You know I got to thinking each time I had an ultrasound around 6 weeks they wouldn't even measure the heartrate because they said it was too early. They were mostly just looking for the flashing light (showing it was beating) They said most likely it had just started beating and sometimes that early you won't even see it so they never measured any of mine until the 8 week visit. Hoping all continues to go well for you and no more bad reactions!!
