Absolutely NO reason for concern. Early ultrasounds are give or take 7 days. You could have 2 different people do an ultrasound back to back and get one reading of 9 weeks and another of 9 weeks and 3 days. >

I know how you feel -- I had 2 miscarriages before my daughter -- who I'm trying to keep amused with a rattle while I answer this! The nausea is most likely due to a healthy pregnancy. I found that progesterone (I was using Crinone) caused major constipation but very few other side effects.

I send you positive thoughts and my best wishes. I hope you will experience the same joy that I feel every time I look at my 3 month old miracle. Seeing the heartbeat at 9 weeks is a very positive sign. I look forward to seeing your birth announcement here in September!

Sorry, but personal e-mails will not be answered, due to time constraits and the desire to spend as much free time as possible with my husband and baby daughter
