Cool thanks again

My three kids all had their first scan in the 6th week and we saw a heartbeat at all three. All the scans were transvaginal though. With my last baby my Ob started with an abdo scan because he was unsure of the dates (even though I knew the exact date of conception, lol) and on the abdo scan we could only see the pregnancy sac which looked like a dark circle. Of course I started freaking out because that's all we saw with my first pregnancy which resulted in our angel But a switch to transvaginal revealed my little bub floating at the bottom of the sac with a beautiful heart beating away.

A few days can make a huge difference though. Sometimes it can take slightly longer for the embryo to get down the fallopian tubes and into the uterus to implant and therefore even if it just takes a day or so longer it can meant he difference between whether the heart has begun to beat or not. Sometimes the heart may have only just started beating and can be quite erratic as well.

I hope you get to see and hear an amazing heart beating though. It's such a magical moment ♥

I've had 6 week scans with each pregnancy despite knowing exactly when I conceived and having no issues, the first was TV and we saw a heart beat the other 2 were abdo, both happy healthy blobs but to little to pick up a HB that way
