Measuring a week behind

Hi all!
Due to calculations of my last menstrual cycle, I should be 8+1 today. I had a scan yesterday (due to previous ectopics) and they have me measuring at 7+3.
Is this normal? It's my first pregnancy that's stuck and I'm a little worried. Would just like so reassurance

Perfectly normal they can never be so accurate at the start because they are just so small! I measured behind until a my 12 week scan where everything was normal x

I was measuring a little behind at my first scan. I was reassured it was nothing to worry about as when they’re that small the days are literal millimetres and it can be hard to get an accurate measurement. They said I would likely catch up by my end of first trimester when things are bigger and clearer. Congratulations ♥️

Totally normal!

I never measure ahead of behind for either of my pregnancies BUT I do know it can be a totally normal thing.
Continue to take care of you and have your regular check ups.. blessings for a healthy pregnancy 🫶🏼

Definitely normal. Unless you were tracking you can’t know for certain when you ovulated and conceived. Also at this stage a Millimeter makes a massive difference. Baby is still so small. As long as no one is concerned I wouldn’t be either x

Completely normal - they measured my baby 3 times at my 8 week appt, and got a different measurement/due date each time 😂. You probably just ovulated a little bit later than you thought :)

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
