There were definitely two gestational sacs and two fetal poles, but at this point there is only one for sure visible heartbeat. Baby 1 had a very strong heartbeat which I was able to easily see, but I didn't get to see a heartbeat for Baby 2. For someone that really only wanted one, I'm really worrying about Baby 2.
At one point, they thought they maybe might be seeing a heartbeat, but they couldn't tell for sure. J was there, and he also thought he may have seen a heartbeat. The doctor did say she could "imagine" a heartbeat for whatever that is worth. I go back in a week for a second ultrasound. And I thought waiting for the first ultrasound was hard!
Here are the ultrasounds pictures:
The first picture is Baby 2 for whom they couldn't yet see the heartbeat. You can just barely make out the fetal pole toward the bottom right of the gestational sac (i.e., black circle, ha). The second is Baby 1 with the very strong heartbeat. That one they measured so you can see the little measurement marks.I've been asking for "happy baby thoughts," but this week I need some "happy babIES thoughts"!
