We are 10 weeks 3 days today and still have roughly 3 more weeks until we can see our bean for the first time. I think the waiting now is way worse than the waiting I experienced after we first found out.

I just want to scream....

While we may have heard the heartbeat on our doppler now I just want the reassurance that its measuring okay and all the P's & Q's are where they are supposed to be.

And don't get me wrong, I'm super thrilled we've made it this far and have heard the HB and everything. I am beyond blessed with that, but I just want my turn at sharing the joys of seeing my bean and a picture to remind me of the little life inside of me.

Am I the only one left who hasn't seen him/her?

I'm sorry hun

I cannot imagine having to go so long w/out seeing my LO

I haven't yet, but I have an ultrasound tomorrow because of my spotting and cramping. I wasn't supposed to have one until may 17th, so I totally get it, I thought I was going to lose my mind waiting three more weeks too. I haven't even heard the heartbeat yet so I'm so nervous for tomorrow.

[Almondeyes]

Hannah, why are they making you wait so long before and u/s?

I too would be upset as well not being able to see baby for that long.

I was right there with ya! I wasnt supposed to have an u/s until next monday, at 12 weeks! but I had to go to the er this past monday night and they did an u/s!! I will tell you, it was so worth the wait!! I cant believe how much like a baby he looks already! I dont have pictures tho since it was the ER, but hang in there!

I'm sorry Hannah! That is a long time to go without getting to see your bean. My doctor's office always does an early one around 9 weeks for dating.

Oh no! I hope the spotting means nothing. You'll be in my thoughts and I hope we have a fantastic picture and update from you soon! FX!!!

@AlmondEyes:

My doc claims that since I have no prior history of m/c or problems there's no need for them to date before the second trimester. And until I'm out of that "risk" zone. I guess it makes sense if I'm perfectly healthy but I also assumed they'd at least do blood work or something. May 15th I'll have a total work up with BW, urine work, pap smear, etc. It'll be a busy day but well worth the wait I hope.

Thanks for all the thoughts ladies. It's been a rough wait and an emotional one. But we're taking it a day at a time. I'm thankful for each week that passes and the real exciting news besides seeing the LO on the 15th is being out of the first trimester!!!! Happy Wednesday all.

My first appt is Monday (10wks), but no u/s. I have no idea if I'll be getting one before 20 weeks.

[Antrim]

Sorry you have to wait. If I hadn't had problems mine wouldn't have been till the end of this week at almost 13 weeks.

[MommaHarvey]

My insurance only pays for 1 ultrasound unless there are problems. So I won't get one until 20wks. Which is still 11wks away for me.

That's awful! Hang in there!

Ugh-I hope the next 3 weeks fly by for you!! I had my first appointment today where normally I would schedule the first u/s (for about a week from now). I fully anticipated about another week until I got to see my precious baby. Got a nice little surprise though, when the doc couldn't detect the heartbeat with the Doppler so she did an u/s for my sanity. She said she didn't want me to go home nervous!

sorry you have to wait so long. Because of my "issues" i have had a bunch so far and lots more to come. I couldn't imagine having to wait so long. Hang in there, hopefully it will go by quick.
