8 week ultrasound

by leighanne143, Jul 16, 2008 04:52PM
Hello ladies,

So i had my 8 week ultrasound today and all went so well.  my little bean grew into a gummy bear with arms and legs (although i thought it looked like a hampster.)  So the heartbeat was 176 beats per minute and it was the greatest thing to ever see.  after 2 MC's i am so excited.

Wow congrats I can't believe you could see all that, at nine weeks mine still looked like blobs of static although at one time I did make out a leg stricking a pretty fierce kick at one time. Glad to see things are going well - here's to trying to relax until the next appt. right?!?!?

You are right on....the baby does look like a Gummie Bear.  So some people have a perfect little bean, you have a perfect little Gummy Bear.  The baby looks absolutely wonderful.

Congratulations. The baby is truly beautiful if it's a girl and extremely handsome if it's a boy...
