Wellness With Andrea Waite's video: Pregnancy vlog first ultrasound

On November 3rd at 14 weeks I had my first ultrasound. Getting that initial glimpse of your baby on an ultrasound machine is one of the most exciting moments of pregnancy. During my ultrasound since I was over 8 weeks my Obgyn measured the anatomy of my baby to make sure baby’s was measuring correctly. What Should I Expect at My First Pregnancy Ultrasound? Some doctors perform the first ultrasound exam around 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy. Your OB-GYN first listens for your baby's heartbeat. From this test, your doctor will be able to determine a more accurate due date and track milestones during your pregnancy. She’ll also be able to tell if you’re pregnant with multiples, and she'll determine if you have an ectopic pregnancy. An ultrasound usually can be done in your practitioner's office or your local hospital. There are two types: transvaginal probe and transabdominal ultrasound. Transvaginal Probe: If you need an ultrasound early in pregnancy, it may be necessary to use a transvaginal probe (a transducer placed in the vagina). The fetus is deep in the mother's pelvis in early pregnancy—and since sound waves don't pass through bone, a transvaginal ultrasound lets your technologist to view your uterus through the cervix. This method may also be used later in pregnancy to locate your placenta if it's over the cervix or to measure the length of the cervix. A transvaginal ultrasound is done with a wand-shaped probe covered with a latex sheath (like a condom). The doctor will apply some lubricant and gently insert the ultrasound into your vagina. She will move the device to form the picture she needs on the ultrasound screen. The procedure doesn't hurt, but you might find it uncomfortable in the same way you might find a pelvic exam uncomfortable. Transabdominal Ultrasound: After the first few weeks, most doctors will do an ultrasound on the abdomen. After arriving at your appointment, the doctor will smear a clear gel on the skin. The gel allows the transducer (a handheld device that looks like a microphone) to slide more easily over your belly, and it improves the transmission of sound waves into your body. Some doctors warm the gel, but if not, you might get a chilly sensation from the cold gel on your skin. —————————————————————————— I am documenting my pregnancy.
