Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

samtoby

I know it isn't that clear......

I am really pleased with the scan I have just had they took the time and were very kind. The Sonographer couldn't find anything on an external scan so I had to have an internal (like a probe). I have a retroverted uterus and she said mine is especially tilted back.

Baby is fine - she was able to take a scan of the heart beat which she said was strong.

I still have a bleed next to the pregnancy and this is actually larger now :eek: but she said its old blood and because it had lines in it (I couldn't see them) it meant it was dispersing.

I was dated 8+3 and then she re measured at a different angle and said 9 so she said my dates are right but at 12 weeks I will get my final EDD.

So I will take the 9 until the 12 week scan.

I am very sorry to hear your news today firey.

what a lovely scan pic samtoby, im very green eyed monster of other peoples scans at the moment! My time will come, just have to wait.

Well my little bud is 6 weeks today :T

Does anyone get car sickness? for the last two weeks on my way to and from work (longest journey during the week) I get really car sick, have had to pull over a couple of times but so far have not been sick. Most of the 45 minute journey is on country roads but today I tried a different way on main roads but still felt sick.

Except for drinking glass after glass of water, tiredness and some cramps I have had no other symptoms so far.

love to all xxx

Need a but if advice about my scan. When I spoke to the doc and hospital I told them I'm almost 8 weeks. I was so worried about the discharge I wasn't really explaining myself very well. The almost 8 weeks was going by my last period not ovulating date.

The first day of my last period was May 11th. Going by a rough estimate I would have ovulated between the 22nd and 27th May so say it was the 27th at the latest I'm only going to be 5+4 when I have my scan tomorrow.

Isn't that too early for a heartbeat? If so does anyone know how else they can determine everything's ok? Or am I gonna to put up with this unknown for another couple of weeks at least?

I'm just so worried.

I'm 5+4 tomorrow & my last period started on 27th may. They'll go by your lmp date so it sounds like you'll be around 7 weeks x

Hi Cherry, your pregnancy is dated by your last period date so you are between 7 - 8 weeks at the moment. You are two weeks pregnant before you've even fertilised an egg, which is confusing!! Hopefully you should be able to see a heartbeat as it tends to be visible from around 6 or 7 weeks, very best wishes for tomorrow xxx

ETA: And if you have very long and/or irregular cycles you tend to add on two weeks to the date you know you ov'd, in your case say 27th May which was 5 weeks, 4 days ago, making you 7+4 by this method . This is because dating a pregnancy from your LMP is only accurate if you have 28 day cycles with a 14 day leuteal phase... pretty uncommon!

Thank you both.

I hope I'm understand this right. When they say the heartbeat is usually detectable from 6 weeks that's 6 weeks from your last period. Not 6 weeks from a guesstimate ovulation date? So my almost 8 weeks should be fine?
