Pregnancy Info HOME

To Sam: I am sorry to hear about your previous losses, I can understand how much both you and wife want this baby. I personally had my very first ultra sound at 5 weeks and 3 days, and they didn't see the heart beat. I was told it was too early at that point to see much of anything. My HCG blood levels were 4381 on the day of the ultrasound. Did everything else like the gestational/yolk sac appear normal? Did the u/s tech seem concerned w/anything?I went back for a second ultrasound at 6 weeks and 5 days and at that time we saw our little baby and we saw our babies heart beating at 122 bpm. It could be VERY possible that it was just too soon to see anything. If your wifes blood levels are doubling every 48 hours like they should, and the doctor and u/s tech have no reason for concern.. I would try not to worry And if you still do not see anything on your next ultrasound.. maybe the dates are off? Please let me know how you make out on your next ultrasound.. Your wife is very lucky to have such a supportive/caring husband.
