6 weeks and 5 days

This was actually my second ultrasound ever since I learned I was pregnant. According to this ultrasound (wherein my OB was also the sonologist), I'm 6 weeks and 5 weeks along which moved my due date from Jan 13 to Jan 24, 2009.

We also saw only one fetus. Thank God! At first I wanted twins but I'm high risk as it is (overweight) that carrying two of them would make this pregnancy really difficult and would give me more complications than I can handle. We also saw the heartbeat which is measured at 133 beats/minute. It was pretty amazing.

The fetus is still quite small measuring 7.8mm. I can't wait until I reach my 5th or 6th month so we can have a 4-D ultrasound and see who the baby will look like.

hi rocky and ivy. no, we don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl. we haven't really thought of names yet. if it's a boy, BB definitely does NOT want to name him the IV. :)

there's a myth if the baby's heartrate is below150bpm then the baby's gender will be a girl. if it is above 150bpm then the baby's gender will be a boy.

4D ultrasound is very much appreciated if it is done on a later date like above 27weeks because by this time the baby has muscles at medyo may laman na. unlike on your early gestation period.....nakakatakot ang baby tignan. i saw pictures na skeleton pa ang baby. so i guess mga 6months ok yun.

umm... totoo ba yung myth na yan.. check ko nga yung 1st ultrasound ni miguel kung more than 150bpm....

cheryll hermosura said...

i checked miguel's 1st ultrasound and miguel was also 6 weeks and 5 days old that time and coincidentally also measures 7.8mm...with a heartbeat of only 120bpm....so i guess the myth is not true....

hahahaha! baligtad pala. here are other myths. i know sometimes it can't be true....it's just nice to share :)

You're more likely to be carrying a boy if...
• Your baby's heartbeat is lower than 140 beats per minute
• you're carrying all out front
• you're carrying low
• you're blooming in pregnancy
• you didn't suffer from morning sickness in your first trimester
• your right breast is bigger than your left
• you look at yourself in the mirror for at least a minute and your pupils dilate
• you crave salty food or protein, such as cheese and meat
• your feet become cold more quickly than before you were pregnant
• you tie your wedding ring to some thread, hang it over your stomach and it moves in circles
• your skin becomes dry
• you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is even
• your hair has become more full-bodied and shiny during pregnancy
• the hair on your legs has been growing faster during pregnancy
• you are more prone to headaches
• your pillow faces north when you sleep
• you're asked to show your hands and you present them palms down
• you lie on your left side when sleeping
• your urine is bright yellow
• you were the more aggressive partner during love-making when you conceived
• you eat a clove of garlic and the smell seeps out of your pores

You're more likely to be having a girl if...
• Your baby's heartbeat is faster than 140 beats per minute (this is so true to my baby)
• you're carrying all round
• you're carrying high
• you've missed the "blooming" period altogether
• you suffered morning sickness during your first twelve weeks
• your left breast is bigger than your right
• you look at yourself in the mirror for at least a minute, but your pupils don't dilate
• you crave sweet things, such as juice, fruit and sweets
• you tie your wedding ring to some thread, hang it over your stomach and it swings from side to side
• your skin is soft
• you are more moody than usual
• you're asked to show your hands and you present them palms up
• you were the less aggressive partner during love-making when you conceived
• you eat a clove of garlic, but you don't smell of it
• you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is odd
• your hair has become thinner and dull during pregnancy
• you lie on your right side when sleeping
• your pillow faces south when you sleep
• your urine is dull yellow
