2nd Ultrasound!
By Mem401 » Posted Feb. 16, 2018 11:10am - 444 views - 15 comments
I was SOO nervous. Bear in mind that I have never, in 3 previous pregnancies, gotten to see the fetal pole or heartbeat. But today as soon as the ultrasound started we all could see the little flicker! The nurse told me it was the heartbeat, but I already knew it. She measured the fetal pole and it was 6+1, which was a little shy of the 6+4 I should have been based on last ultrasound. The gestational sac measured 6+2, so not too far off. The nurse said not to worry; she told me that as long as we see a week's worth of growth, then all is well. After measuring the nurse put the marker on the heart flicker and turned the sound on. I got to hear the most beautiful sound in the world. It was magical and all I could do to not ugly cry! She measured the heartbeat and it was 119. She said over 110 is where they would expect, so we are good.
I am over the moon!!!! We go back next Friday for another ultrasound. I am loving every single second of life right now.
Thank you for all the prayers and well-wishes! :)
