    I had my first one last week at 8 weeks but I didn't get any pictures :( Seeing the heart beat was amazing though!! This is my first baby so everything is pretty new to me!

    I had my first appointment on 10-2 and was only 9 weeks along. She decided to skip finding the heartbeat with the doppler and grabbed the ultrasound machine to find it instead. It was a nice surprise. She printed off a couple of pictures so I could take them home to my sons.

    She said that she can't charge for the ultrasounds as she has no training in it, but they have a machine on the floor as some of the other doctors are trained and will do their own ultrasounds. She said as long as it was free she can always grab it and take a quick peek. Like a said it was a really nice surprise and my sons loved it. Made it a little more real for them.

    I don't think our 20 week will be until December if counted out correctly.

    Had my first ultrasound at 9 weeks. Like Steph, they were just looking for the heartbeat. Sent me home with pix (yay) although there was not a lot to see (detail wise) but it was a great surprise!

    I have my genetics testing next week and they will be doing another ultrasound for that. Fun times.

    I had my first at 6 weeks. For two reasons, my son was a preemie and we almost lost him early in the 1st trimester. The second reason is that due to back-to-back pregnancies, I had no way of knowing my EDD. May 22nd 2014!! :heart:

    I have an appointment for next week to be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. I'm soooooo excited and looking forward to hearing our little nugget. :bigsmile: I'll be 10 1/2 weeks by then.
  • I had my first at 6 weeks, due to a scary pain on my left side the hospital was worried it was ectopic

    Heart beat heard and got a nice CD with lotsa pics already (not that you can see much!)

    Hubby couldn't be therefore unfortunately, so i can't wait to share it with him when we go back at 10 weeks :))

    Nice to meet you all ladies! x

    I don't have mine for 2 more weeks. We have told a few people that we are expecting, but I want to wait until after the ultra sound to really announce it... but it sure is hard to wait
  • I just found out today that I'm pregnant and due June 13, 2014.

    I have my ultrasound scheduled for November 11, 2013. I should be about 9 weeks then. Can't wait to get pics and show them to my 8-year-old and 4-year-old :)
  • I have my first scan scheduled for Friday! Time seems to be dragging though! Hurry up already!

    I just had another done a few days ago at the ER, for a scare! But baby is good and is looking like a little human (sort of) :wink:

    My MW doesn't do first trimester u/s routinely so I won't have one until 20wks. She gave me the option of having one if I felt that I needed one, but I don't know if my health insurance would have covered it fully and if anything was to happen, I'd rather it just happen and not worry when it would since they wouldn't be able to do anything anyway. She does not do the genetic testing either unless asked. I didn't have it done with our first so I didn't bother asking about this one. I have my 12w appt Tuesday and we should be able to hear the heartbeat. Can't wait!!!!

    Baby looks so happy in there, dangling its feet and enjoying its existence.

    I had mine 10-18-13, the nurse at earlier apts kept insisting I was 7 weeks on oct 1st, but I knew I wasnt. At the ultrasound she determined I was6w 5d, (which was 5 days earlier than what I thought! So it would have been near impossible to get pregnant the time that I did!) But we are very happy. The baby looks great my next apt is Nov 11th :)

    I had my first one at 6 weeks partly because we did ICSI and they wanted to confirm the pregnancy. :flowerforyou:

    I had my first ultrasound 10/10. I had no period inbetween my two (my daughter was born Jan 1st and I bf so got lucky). I tested positive for pregnancy on 9/2, so I figured I'd be 8+6 or more, they dated me 8+4 (no way a test would have shown positive that early though). But I'll take it. I go late with babies anyway, so my official due date from my doc is 5/18. I'm hoping the baby will come early enough that I'll be home before my birthday 5/31 - it's my 30th and I don't want to be in the hospital!

    We decided to do an NT scan this time next week - 11/4 since my hospital does it now and my insurance is covering it. Then my 20 week ultrasound will be 19+5 on Dec 27th.

    This ultrasound would have been better had my daughter not screamed through the entire thing! LOL. She had juts gotten her flu shot was not too happy that mommy couldn't hold her! It was a vaginal and my dad asked if he could be in the room (the last 2 I didn't let him as vaginal, but he asked, so I was like, eh, ok....). So it was my husband, mom, dad, son and daughter. This is the last one, so why not have almost everyone in there with my legs up?

    My MW wasn't able to get a heartbeat, so I have an u/s on Monday morning. She's not concerned since I've had morning sickness all day for 6 weeks now and no bleeding. I also lost a pound since my last visit. I am 12w exactly today. She said if I have a tilted fervid it could take longer to hear externally.

    I've never had the genetic testing, but from what I've read, it's just a blood draw and a standard u/s. I hope you have a wonderful experience!!!

    When I had it done with my first it was exactly that ^^^^^ blood test, urine test and ultrasound. I am having mine next week :):) Enjoy!
