The first pregnancy ultrasound

The first ultrasound, called "embryonic morphology", is performed between the 9th and 11th week of pregnancy.

During the first ultrasound, the midwife or obstetrician will confirm your pregnancy, the age of the fetus, and the expected date of delivery. The doctor will also check the health of the fetus by detecting possible malformations. The consultation lasts about 30 minutes, but it is your first appointment with your baby.

But it is also your first appointment with your baby. Suddenly, the sound of your baby's heartbeat will echo through the room. Maybe you will shed a few tears of joy...

My last baby. My only girl. Sweet baby Echo was born 6/15💖 she weighed 8lbs 12.4oz she has 3 older brothers ages 6, 3, & 1 who were all in the room with us at the hospital when she was born. I had an incredibly successful vbac with minimal blood loss and going into labor on my own while waiting for them to start my induction. My epidural didn't work and I had what nurses u guess call a "walking epidural" grateful this is my last one cause after feeling all of that I would never do it again 😂

I’m in need of some serious support rn man :(( We travelled 2 hours to see a specialist to check baby’s kidneys, during the ultrasound they found extra fluid in his brain i guess? Which they said could just be spinal fluid which had problems draining. And now we have to go back to the specialist on Tuesday for a Fetal Echo to make sure nothing is wrong with his heart😩 I’m a first time mom and i’m freaking the hell out thinking about all of this stuff that could be wrong with my baby. Has anyone else gone through anything similar with the brain fluid, etc? (picture of little man❤️)

Feeling so defeated lately. This is my first baby and at the anatomy scan, I was told that he may have a heart problem and was referred to get an echo. At the echo, they said my baby boy is healthy and does have an aortic right arch but it’s not causing any obstruction so they’re not concerned. At my re-do of the anatomy scan, they are now saying he’s in the 10th percentile for growth. Just feel like it’s one thing after the other and that there’s something wrong with me. Any words of encouragement? Anyone going through or have been through something similar?
