We're really excited. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138427 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:00:52 +0000 MaisyMay 138427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Since I am high risk, I'll get an ultrasound every 3-4 weeks from here on out. They have a wonderful perinatal clinic that meets with high risk moms every week. You get into your room after doing your vitals and the nutritionist, diabetes nurse, and doctor each take turns visiting you. The diabetes nurse will look over glucose levels and make medication adjustments while the nutritionist looks at what I'm eating and how I feel about it (never hungry, can't keep a particular something down), and then the doc does an u/s and handles the rest of my care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138262 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:57:14 +0000 mrsjyw 138262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a transvag u/s at six weeks. We saw the heart flicker too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138239 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:33:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 138239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say yes, if you can't move forward until they see it, the more ultrasounds the better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138238 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:33:19 +0000 winniebee 138238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will you be able to get one after 5 wks if you get this one and can see something? Usually you can see a HB by 6.5-7 weeks so if you want to see a HB you could wait another week and a half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138220 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:09:49 +0000 autumnlove 138220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw a yolksac at 5 weeks and returned a week later and saw the heart beat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138215 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:05:36 +0000 Andrea 138215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one at 5 weeks and we saw the yolksac. That was exciting enough so I would definitely do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138191 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 07:42:20 +0000 chopsuey 138191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB wanted me to come in early, but I told them that my cycle was longer than usual so we pushed my first appt back to may 4! I don't want to "waste" an ultrasound and not see anything.<br /> So excited to see the yolksac + heartbeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138188 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 07:40:38 +0000 plaidpants 138188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant, I had a vaginal u/s at around 6 weeks because I had some spotting and we got to see the heart beating! I had only known I was pregnant for a couple weeks, so that was a really fun surprise (despite the stress of spotting). It looked like a little light blinking on and off, so of course we started calling the baby Blinky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138167 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 07:23:32 +0000 hilsy85 138167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I was offered it, I definitely would have! It's good that they told you that you might not really be able to see anything so you don't worry if that is the case. I hope you can see something though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138075 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:35:16 +0000 looch 138075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it a vaginal ultrasound? I'd do it, it's not uncomfortable at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138072 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:32:24 +0000 mediagirl 138072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: so exciting! I hope you get to see something and, if not, there always the next week. Since you're high risk, I say go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138040 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:36:24 +0000 Rosie Girl 138040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes i would! ANd i have :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138039 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:34:30 +0000 MaisyMay 138039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: All of my u/s last summer were internal. Hubs was by my head so it wasn't too weird for him. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138038 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:29:13 +0000 cupcakemama 138038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one at about 5.5 weeks, they were double checking for ectopic. We saw the sac and the 'baby' but no heartbeat. Be prepared that they might do an internal us to try to pick up the heartbeat. I forgot to warn dh, he was like a dear in headlights. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138036 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:11:00 +0000 His Barista 138036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We saw a little heartbeat around 7 weeks. But I would go in at 5 weeks just for fun if I had the option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138028 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:53:24 +0000 MaisyMay 138028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely going and Hubs is taking time off so that he can be there too. It's exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138022 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:39:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 138022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: oh, well in that case I'd definitely want a U/S sooner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138017 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:34:14 +0000 MaisyMay 138017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: thanks for letting me know. we'll see what we see next week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138016 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:32:32 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 138016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: My first ultrasound at 5 weeks 6 days they couldn't see a heartbeat, but it was in the ER and their equipment is not as high-tech. My first ultrasound at my clinic was at 6 weeks 1 day and they could see a heartbeat. Their equipment is much better in a high risk clinic than in the ER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138012 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:28:00 +0000 MaisyMay 138012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: Thanks for telling me. I'm hoping we get to see something. Did you see a heartbeat yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138010 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:26:36 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 138010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I see a high-risk perinatologist and my first ultrasound was at 5 weeks 6 days. We could definitely see something (although it didn't look like much). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138009 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:25:28 +0000 MaisyMay 138009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Yeah, I'm a type 2 diabetic and had a miscarriage last summer, so I know that they're trying to prevent that this time if possible. Our miscarriage was near 8 weeks, but the baby stopped growing at 6w3d and they want to keep the two of us as healthy as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138006 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:18:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 138006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha heck yes. How could you say no?! Or else I might wait til 6 weeks, since that seems more typical?</p> <p>are you high-risk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasound-at-5-weeks#post-138001 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:12:53 +0000 MaisyMay 138001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I told my insurance/doctor that I was pregnant today and they forwarded my info to perinatal. When perinatal called me to check in and see how I am doing, they asked if I wanted an ultrasound next week even though I'll only be about 5w4d at the time. She said that we may not be able to see something, but if we do, they can set up my first appt with the peri dr, something they can't do until they see that the pregnancy is viable. If we can't see anything that day, we'll go back in a week or two. I definitely said yes! My high-risk clinic will have me getting ultasounds every 2-4 weeks, which is pretty awesome, but I was surprised that they were asking me to come in so early.</p> <p>Would you go in for an ultrasound that early? </p>
