7weeks

Has anyone ever experience this? Had the first ultrasound today which is 7wks and 5days. Ultrasound says it only measure 6wks and 1 day. The nurse practitioner said there is probability of miscarriage that the pregnancy is behind. How true is this cause I am so scared.

7 weeks must be the dating ultrasound. I would recommend to talk to your doc and redo the ultrasound at diff location.

I had this situation during my first trimester ultrasound where technician made mistake in the measurement and got me scared.
When I repeated the ultrasound everything was great.

How do you know it is supposed to be exactly 7 weeks 5 days? Is your period always on time? Could you have ovulated late?

it was done at two different places already same thing

calculated from the first day of last period. period is always 2-3 days late

If your cycles are longer or shorter than 28 days this can affect your dating scan. I have very short cycles so I’m always further ahead than what is calculated based on my LMP.

was there any problem,

Nope everything was fine. I just ovulate earlier than what would be calculated assuming a 28 day cycle, which is what they do when they use lmp

I’m surprised the nurse practitioner said this based on one scan.. usually they do at least two to monitor growth because unless you did Ivf and know the exact day, ovulation could have been later on etc

Update

After two weeks still measuring 6 weeks and 3 days. The doctor says it has to come down to a miscarriage. Says they can give meds or remove it or wait for it to come naturally. Confuse

Induction?

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

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

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!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
