what to expect from a scan at 7.5 - 8 weeks?

[Pandora]

i had one at 6.5 weeks with DS, it was external.
All i saw was a small line flashing, which it turned out was his heartbeat.

Im having one in 2-3 weeks for a dating scan and Im a bit nervous! I dont want to go to early and have them not able to detect a heartbeat!

Well I had the scan today and everything is good.

The baby is in the right position, there is only one (which is a relief - one is going to be hard enough, two would be harder). Baby measures 11.1mm long, and has a heartbeat of around 150 beats per minute (looking at the scan on the screen and calculating, I reckon it's more like 160).

We have a DVD of the ultrasound that my husband can take overseas to show his relatives, which is great too, as it will make it more real to them, we think.

Apparently it looks like I conceived 3-4 days later than I thought, though, so not quite as far along as I thought, not that it matters at all.

We are delighted

This is fantastic news! It sounds like everything going smoothly for you
