Great News: u/s today!!

Post by gori »

Hi to all the wonderful women, who have been so supportive of my posts/questions. We had our first u/s today (at 7 weeks): And we heard the heart-beat of our little one!!!
We are so.........excited...yet cautiously optimistic [since I had a m/c last year at 12 weeks, so I find myself being reminded of that constantly :( ]
Hearing the heart-beat of your little one is the best thing, I guess, the second best to holding your little one in your arms :) And there is only one gestational sac & one baby...that's exactly what we wanted [I was worried about twin-twin transfusion in case the egg split & resulted in twins in the same sac]!!
I also had some spotting/bleeding [red/brown] on/off for last 3-4 days so that had me really worried. Even though that has stopped now, is that an indication of pre-term labor at later stages? Anyway, luckily all went well today. The other thing is that my HCGs have been quite high for a singleton, hope that does not mean anything negative? Also, the yolk sac is 1.9mm, on the smaller side. Should be between 2.5-5mm but fertility center said not to worry & follow-it up with an u/s in 7-10 days. Any thoughts? Our worries never end :) Touchwood, baby's growth seems fine & is measuring up-to 7 weeks!!
Thanks again for all your support! That is always very helpful.
