sweetie will be thinking of you

**Nadine216** · June 15th, 2008, 04:58 PM

Good luck tomorrow!!

I think the girls prepared you quite well

What was totally amazing to me were the heart itself, yes the heartbeat are awesome, but to see that little thing go ..... priceless. You will clearly be able to see the muscle constricting and pumping. It's mind-boggling and breathtaking. You'll never forget it.

And I agree with smiles

you would think they would take a while to find the little angel, but NOOOOOO it's like .... WAM and suddenly the in the center of the screen are your baby. No words can explain the emotions and feelings that surge through your being at that precise moment.

And remember some wire for DH's jaw

Let me know how it went!

how exciting!!! You really should only see a little jellybean with a big strong heart beating.It will be the best moment of your life as you fix your eyes on that screen the secondthe sonographer turns it on. oooohhhh I cant wait to do it all again

Good luck for tomorrow, Renstar! I had an internal scan at 8 weeks and I was so relieved to see and hear that everything was all right. I posted my 8 week scan in the gallery, if you'd like a look. It looks quite weird!
They check for heartbeat, size, position of placenta, placental development, I think. First scan they also check over your ovaries too. The scan didn't take long. And the internal scan never worried me. The sonographers are always very good.
Sending you good scan vibes!!

Goodluck hun!

I had a scan with DS at 6w and 6 days and they needed to use the internal scan but i would say at 8 weeks you should be fine with just the abdominal scan.

I'll be anxiously awaiting the results tomorrow.

Good luck Ren!! It really is an amazing thing to see your bubs heartbeat flickering away!

Oh the internal is seriously nothing, I have had 3 and I didnt even feel it I was too busy making sure bubs was ok! I had one abdominal one and I didnt need a full bladder, I went to the toilet right before we went in...I wonder why some places make you go and some dont?

Anyway, will be thinking of you tommorow xx

I wonder how quickly she is gunna pounce on a pc somewhere and let us all know how it went !!!

**Shanti** · June 16th, 2008, 10:25 AM

We have a healthy little heartbeat!!

157bpm!! We are so thrilled!!

We got to see our little baby looks just like a little jellybean!! And how beautiful he/she was..... I don't think we even blinked, we just looked at the screen the whole time! It was so sweet watching DH staring at the screen I'm pretty sure he was just loving it! He sqeezed my hand when we saw the HB!! it was awesome!

Even the sonographer smiled when he said "we have a HB" so it was nice.
The scan was done the normal way (not vaginally) and it was pretty quick - I could have lay there all day watching our little bub!!
Looking forward to seeing more at the 12 week scan!!

He's dated me 7wks 4days pregnant due 29th jan but i might just keep the dates I have already..... it's only an estimate anyway hey?
