Little bean and heartbeat!

8 Replies

I've just had my second scan, and we saw a tiny heartbeat. I asked if she thought that was correct timing given that I think I am 6 weeks. She then said she thinks I'm only 5 weeks....! Surely I wouldn't see a heartbeat if I was only 5 weeks, right?! I also only started feeling nauseas yesterday.

Your experiences would be great to hear!

From six weeks is when the heartbeat goes into action! 12 week scan will be more accurate :)

I had the same thing happen to me at the beginning of this pregnancy although I consistently stayed a week behind to what I thought I should be based on periods and when I knew me and my partner had been intimate. I should be 15 weeks 4 days but they’ve dated me at 14 weeks and 3 days. They said a week each way from what your lmp is fine. Babies develop at slightly different or you could of ovulated later than usual.

That being said with my first I had a scan at 9 weeks at the hospital they said I was measuring 6 weeks to come back in a month. When I did I was measuring 13 and they changed my due date back to when I had guessed from my lmp.

Wait until 12 weeks for a more accurate due date. Just celebrate a healthy heartbeat and try not to worry. Xx
