First ?

How did you stand it from the time you found out until you went for your first internal- where they hear/see the heartbeat.

I just want to hear it already!

I don't go until July 8

Re: First ?

i know , it feels like time goes so slow.

I was 6w6d for my first sono when we saw the heartbeat. I did not get to hear it until the ultrascreen at 12 weeks.

Did I miss your announcement?

Congrats!!!

I went at around 6 weeks. I know it's maddening, but it's so worth the wait!

Re: First ?

It was really anxious. Our first sono just showed the sac. We had to go back 2 weeks later to see the heartbeat. We didn't hear it until the ultrascreen.

Re: First ?

The time between appointments feels like such a long time! I feel the same way and continue to, I can't wait for each appointment every month to hear/see the baby!!!

Re: First ?

We went nuts.. We couldn't wait to hear and see the babies... DH and I kept our selves busy by me peeing on a stick twice a day... which seemed to smooth over some of the anxiety of the wait

Oh and we rented a fetal doppler so we could check on them ourselves.

Re: First ?

it was almost unbearable! i was lucky that i got to have a sono at 5W5D but that was b/c the dr wanted to make sure it wasn't ectopic all i saw was the little bean...

but when i saw the HB at 8 weeks it was sooooo worth the wait!!

once you are out of the first tri, and especially after 20 weeks, time will fly - trust me.

start browsing BRU, BBB and target online - that's how i kept occupied

*shrug* I just get through all the waiting realizing that this technology wasn't always around and I'm lucky to have it. Women used to just plain WAIT for the baby. That must have been maddening. Now I almost feel like we know too much, the more we know the more we worry.

For me ignorance is bliss

Just hang in there and best of luck to you!

Re: First ?

I was so excited, we just went yesterday at 6w5ds, we saw and heard the heartbeat!!! It was the coolest thing ever........

I only had about a week and a half since taking the test and going to the doctor, not a long time but boy was I nervous the entire time!!! I just needed to see it so that it was real.......

Re: First ?

Thank you ladies. like Ang-Rich said, it is like waiting for christmas as a child.

I am trying to hang in there.

Less than 3 weeks to go.

Thank you for your support.

Re: First ?

With my first dc they used the machine on my stomach that hears heart beats.. i was really early into the pregnancy when i went. They werent sure it would work, but it did.

Re: First ?

Man, it was tough. My doc didn't want to see me until I was at least 8 weeks and then when she had an opening I was 8 weeks, 6 days. I found out I was pregnant on 3/11 and didn't go to the doc until 4/14. Try to stay busy. Easier said than done, I know. I tried not to stress too much about every cramp and stretch...also easier said than done. But when you finally get in there, it is so worth it. It finally is "real" and a true miracle to see for the first time. Make lots of plans with friends and family between now and then!

Here's to a speedy 3 weeks!
