External ultrasound image at 8 wks (approx. 5 wks from ovulation) hearbeat at 180 bpm. Although this image was taken one week after the previous internal ultrasound the measurements showed 8 wks instead of the 8.5 expected. Ultrasound tech indicated that this could be the difference between the internal and external ultrasounds and their measurement accuracy.
External ultrasound image at 9 wks gestation (approx. 6 wks from ovulation) heartbeat at 177, embryo is almost 1 inch in length. Which, according to my nurse is “larger than a gummy bear”. This ultrasound was the first time we were able to see movement besides the heartbeat. So I am going to call this the first picture of “Baby Wiggles”.
