8 week scan

[Cheshire Cat]

I had my first scan on Friday (7 weeks 6 days precisely) and it was wonderful to see my little baby's heart beating on the screen! It looked like a little jelly bean with a heartbeat. I could hardly contain myself in the scan room, it was such a precious moment.

We were given a photo of the little one too - not that you can really make out what is what!

The hospital have now reassured me after all my fears of miscarrying again and I feel very confident about this one. The doctors also told me I should go back to exercising but to take it very gently so I think tonight I'll kick off with a modified version of ME using virtually no weight. I'll stay off the cardio for a little while further but I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of everything albeit at a much lower intensity.

The scan was just what I needed to allay all my worries. Life feels FANTASTIC

Hi there...I am right there with ya. This is such an exciting time for you both!

I just had my 8 week scan and had the same feelings. My husband was there and the moment was just wonderful. What was your baby's HR? Ours was at 146BPM at 7w5d. I am currently 9w2d and due Oct 8...pretty close to your due date

hi Cindy!

I have no idea what the HR was but it looked like it'd just finished a Cathe workout i was beating so fast

My due date is 12th October which seems like an age away!
