How far along are you?
Roughly 10 weeks, give or take, is when
the heartbeat is heard. Some hear it
earlier, some later. But that is a rough
estimate.
Good luck!

By lmp you would be 9+ weeks.
Maybe you'll get an early ultra sound to
check for dates. You will see the
heartbeat then.

They usually feel your uterus to see by
size and give an ultra sound to measure
how big the baby is. Early ultra sounds
are better at dating your pregnancy.

I know, it is exciting, isn't it?
On the bright side, you get many more
months of doctor's visits and listening to
the heartbeat and seeing arms and legs
move around your belly - then the baby
will be here!
Enjoy your pregnancy!

Not at all! It feels kinda funny.
It's just like a pelvic ultrasound [the
one where the rub it over your belly]
except its a long skinnyish rod that they
put up your vagina.
It gives a really clear view of your
ovaries, uterus, everything.
It kinda tickles when they move it around
to get different views.
It's no big deal at all.
Usually when you're early in your
pregnancy they'll do a trans vag u/s.
Because a pelvic u/s won't always pick up
on the yolk sac.
They don't hurt, so don't worry. :)
