I'll be 6w4d and this is the furthest we've ever gotten. We've had pregnancies"go further", but I was just waiting to miscarry/having surgery. I'm so nervous/excited!!! I'm really hoping for a positive outcome and I'm just so excited to finally be able to see our baby on the screen and hopefully hear a heartbeat (or two!!!!) Wish us luck, I'll keep you all posted! :)

    Good luck! I second PP on the heartbeat piece. All we saw was a yolk sac first ultrasound.

    That is always so exciting! We didn't get to hear the heartbeat during our first ultrasound (I think we had to wait for the first OB visit for that) but we could see the little flicker of the heart on the screen. I was ridiculously excited to get a print out of that ultrasound even though there wasn't very much to see - but who doesn't love baby's first photo?
    Good luck!

    I really hope this is a sticky bean and that you have a long, healthy, and beautiful pregnancy. I'm adding another voice to the don't worry if you don't see a heartbeat yet camp. Just seeing your squish is perfect. Many normal, healthy pregnancies that end with happy beautiful babies don't show a heart beat this early. My pregnancy with my 2 year old son was one of them.
