I went for an ultra sound today. By my Calender I am 9 weeks today. On the ultra sound, the technician saw a nine week fetus, but no heart beat. I have had no cramping, no bleeding. IS there hope? someone please help me if you have been through this......

A gifted sonographer can tell you from 11 weeks and it's not the size of the genitals that is the cause of inaccuracy its that they actually look quite similar early on. If it's a boy, they are more likely to see something of course. If at a twenty week scan they tell you 'we aren't sure' put your money on girl because usually that means a clear penis hasn't been spotted. Just as an fyi. I could 'tell' my son might be a boy from something I saw in an early scan but it was just a guess. At eighteen weeks oh my it was very clear he was a boy.

I go in next Monday for my level 2 u/s. I'll be just over 20 weeks so I'm excited. The baby is definately big enough to tell. Just as long as baby doesn't have his or her legs crossed I'll be fine.

Thanks for the info Bri. I hope if I do find out then, it's acurrate. Every calender I look at says I'm having a boy. I hope it's right. :o)

It is posibe but a lot of imaging center won't tell you even if they suspect. The parts are just so small they could get it wrong and unfortunately people have been sued over stupid things like that. My center told me right up, I didn't even ask. She just said, 'you know it's too small to find out the sex yet.' But, there are girls in my week that found out that early. I think one did find out a few weeks ago that the lady at 12 weeks was wrong. Now she isn't quite so sure since she's been told both sexes now... Even if you do find out, don't go shopping or at least keep receipts.

So has anyone found out what they are having at 12 weeks? I heard it's possible.

Thrilled1981~ Nope, your baby is going to have a BIG head. LOL Kidding, yes, this is normal, as the baby grows, the body will catch up with the head and look more balanced :)

Hey all.. Had my 21 week ultrasound today adn the tech printed me some pics.. when I look at them the babies head seems so big.. is this normal?

Had my u/s on Friday and it was amazing. We got to hear the heartbeat but VERY lightly. The u/s tech had to turn the machine up full blast so that we could hear it. The baby is doing great and I'm going for my next u/s at 12 weeks. Sooo excited. :o)

I just went in for my big ultrasound today and I'm almost 23 weeks. We saw everything on the baby except for the gender ! :( We really wanna know, and we really want to be prepared. We don't want being prepared to have to be okay, I'll guess we'll just get neutral everything. For example, if it's a girl, I really want a pink car seat, etc.! However, my insurance is not good, and the tech said I'll 'probably just have to wait until the birth'! Any advice? We looked up 3d/4d and found one very close to us, but its a little expensive. If its the only choice though, we'll do it.

Linz88 I was 4 wks pregnant when i found out w my first son and 8 wks when i found out with my second....I am now carrying twins and i didnt find out i was pregnant until i was 6 wks alomng so its very possible...

saphireblue - 965 days ago.
Linz88...........Hi I am the same. I thought I was eleven weeks on they said i was two weeks earlier. The time they gave me does not equate. I read on this website that scans between 5 and seven weeks are not as accurate and can have a difference of ten days either way. I am waiting for my next scan to find out for sure. Congrats!

i had an ultrasound today i thought i was weeks but she told me she couldnt see a yolk sac so thinks im earlier than i think..has that ever happened to anyone?i found out i was pregnant on the 10th of june so i dont understand how i could be 3-4 weeks when i found out 13 days ago

Megan20 - I had a 4D done with my son. The lady that did it said the best time to get the best pictures are 28-30weeks. This is because everything is fully formed and baby has already been putting on weight, but, baby hasn't put on so much weight that s/he can't move and the face is pressed up against the uterus wall. I have several pictures on my page from when Kekoa was 29weeks. I got so many really good photos. I actually have some that look just like him. I got a side by side picture frame and put one of him inside and one outside making the same face. It's wonderful. HAHA! Have fun!

i was wondering if anyone can let me kno when a good time to get a 3d/4d ultrasound would be? i wanna get one ealry cus i wanna know the gender, but i wanna get one later cus i want the baby to be more developed in facial features and stuff. Can you still get really nice close up pics of hand/feet if u get a 3d/4d at like 16-18 weeks? If anyone wants to answer their opinion, could you please post it on my page instead of on this chat? :) Thanks!

silverlily- I had to go for the in depth ultra sound last pregnancy and it took over an hour. My doctor had concerns about down syndrome. Since I was self pay we decided not to do the amniocentisis. I didn't feel the vibrations but it was warm and terribly uncomfortable. Olivia is fine and healthy, so I don't think the u/s was detrimental to her in any way.

LBM - im 10 weeks and one day and have got my u/s today im very nervous and hoping everything is ok. I though a few times I casn feel the baby like a flutter but maybe this was wind I cant be sure although looking at this picture it seems strand that you wouldnt feel it x

LBM.newmom - 988 days ago.
I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow. Can anyone feel anything yet?? That movie of the little baby moving around like crazy looks like you must be able to feel something! look at em go!!

Silver lilly - I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling panicked and frustrated that your husband was not able to handle your fears respectfully. I don't think men realize how easily our fears can be triggered. Just call a medical someone that you trust and talk to them. I am sure you will get the reassurance you need. I would also bet that you have to have about 100 of those long ultra sounds for negative effects to occur. I think you'll be fine.

I went for my 18 - 20 week ultrasound last week and it took just under an hour, and I could feel the vibrations from the machine really strongly, to the point that it felt warm sometimes, and the tech also pushed REALLY hard on parts of my stomach - I was sore the next day still. Now I've read some things about ultrasounds saying they should be lmited to 30 minutes, and that the vibrations and warmth created can be bad and are even possibly tied to things like autism and dyslexia. And I'm panicking. Because I felt the vibrations so strongly it was bordering on uncomfortable, and it was a super-long session. I called my husband to talk and he hung up on me, and now I'm just scared. Anyone else have an ultrasound like this? What happened? I know there is no way to know about any consequences like this until after the child is born and starts to get older...

cheyne, i think it's maybe because u ovulated later in your cycle when u conceived. it happened to me too, as my u/s said i was 5 days later than my edd. i calculated 6 dec, and the u/s gave me a dd of 11 dec. HTH!
