I'm 5w6d with my 3rd, this baby was a complete oops but hubby and I are slowly wrapping our heads around it. I have been so earth shatteringly anxious that something is wrong with this pregnancy since day 1 and I can't put my finger on why. We had a dating scan today, the gestational sac measured 6 weeks and there wasn't much to see but the fetal pole and yolk sac were visible and the technician saw the heart flickering. I saw my son's heartbeat clearly at my 6 week scan, I couldn't see this one but the tech said she did. This was also an abdominal scan not transvaginal so maybe that's why it wasn't as clear... IDK. She said it was hard to get a good BPM reading because everything is still so tiny but that what she captured was a heart rate of 101. Seems a little low but the heart literally JUST started beating this week so maybe it'll go up? I'm waiting for the radiology notes to be posted to my online chart so I can obsess over them until my first appointment with my midwife in ~2 weeks.

Somehow I am absolutely NO less anxious after that ultrasound 😩
