Over the moon and jumping for joy :)

Yay...wooo hoooo....we have a heart beat :) (Star jumps around, skips around the room :)

After a very nervous week the day for the 7 week scan finally arrives.

Now google and bulletin boards can be very helpful and supportive while you are trying to concieve. Once you have conceived they can be VERY BAD PLACES.

In my excitement I had googled what to expect at a 7 week ultrasound. My eyes wandered down to a post written by a woman who had had her 7 week scan and NOT seen a heart beat....Oh God, No...something else for me to worry about...

I had read that sometimes you can see a heart beat at 6 weeks, which worried me that we hadn't seen one at the 6 week scan, despite the nurse telling me it was too early.

So what with all the scare stories I had a pretty anxious week.

I arrived at the clinic and the nurse asked me how i'd been. Nervous I replied. Yes, said the nurse, as if i had every reason to be.

I got myself perched on the chair and got my legs into the stirrups and waited for the nurse to prepare wandy...

First thing I saw was the nurse beaming...

There, right before my eyes was what was definitely a heart beat. I could see it before she even pointed it out.

A huge sigh of relief and a few tears later she told me that although I was 7 weeks the following day, the baby measured 7 weeks and 3 days so was a good size. The little bean had doubled in size from last week.


So now I have my 'congratulations,your scan revealed a viable pregancy' letter and have been discharged from the fertility clinic. I am now just like any other pregnant lady!!!




I couldn't be happier :)
