We are both very excited, and can't wait to hear the heartbeat! Never had I heard about the transvaginal ultrasound, so I am SO happy that I read this first. AND I have a male OB/GYN, so it will be funny to see my husbands face as he shoves what looks like a big dildo into my vagina. I am going to be following your blog, Jane, this was very helpful :) THANKS, and best of luck, Ericka My husband and I are 7 weeks pregnant, and we have our first appointment May 3rd!

I told my OB that it was all coming out of our pocket and she said then we'll only do ONE ultrasound. If there's any complications or concerns then there will be more. But the typical 8 week ultrasound is actually not necessary unless there is a problem. So here i am at almost 18 weeks and haven't ordered any ultrasounds yet. Still haven't seen our Baby. =( When I am 20 weeks we will do one to see how the baby's doing. =) It will only cost us $218. Not too bad. I thought it was going to be $400. Then that will be it unless something is wrong. Lord willing it will only be one for my husband works a $10/hr job and we have no insurance either. Thank you for your blog!

(although they didn't seem to give me as much info as you got. Of course, I didn't really have any questions either) That was pretty funny - my ob lubbed that up, put a condom over it and lubed again before putting it all in :) I was thinking of you during that time :) I just had my 8 week apt and I am glad I saw this before I went.

Your comment made me laugh because it's so true. We all picture our ultrasounds like they do it in the movies and then when the ob goes towards your legs, it's a total freak-out moment! Ha, ha! Thanks for your post! Hope you see you more on here and congrats to you! When in July are you due? Have you found out whether it's a boy or girl? Thanks so much Lesley!

Why doesn't ANYONE talk about the transvaginal ultrasound????? Why do we need to be surprised and a little freeked out when we go for our 1st appointment??? You are certainly doing you part to make sure all peoples know about this and I am too by telling all my female friends and family of childbearing age about this. :-) Thank you for a fun blog!!!!!
