2nd ultrasound - 6 weeks

Another great visit! Today we saw the yolk sac, baby, and its little heartbeat. The u/s tech said that anything over 100 at this point is perfect. Little baby's heartbeat was at 107. She said it should be faster at my 3rd and final u/s (with the RE). Next Thursday is my last RE visit, then I get released to my OB. My 1st OB appt is on 11/14. I will be 8w1d.

The CRL of the baby measured exactly 6 weeks. I asked the u/s tech why it wasn't 6w2d since I was 5w2d last week. She said that last week was much more approximate since we were only measuring the gestational sac to determine how far along I was. So, now that we are actually measuring baby its more precise. The CRL is 3.43mm, which for 6w is perfectly average.

It was unbelievable to see the heart beating. I can't wait to see how much the baby has grown next week and how strong its little heart is beating :)

So great to hear Marijana! I'm so happy for you - isn't it amazing that the heart is already beating and alive?

I hope the nausea stays at bay and you don't actually start throwing up - that is no fun. But, no better reason to throw up than for a baby in the end:)
