Wrong date?

Hi girls, I’m abit confused here, so I have a midwife appointment booked on the 18th of next month because the dr who did my appointment said that’s when I will be 8 weeks however I’m positive my workings out would make me 10/11 weeks at the time of my appointment? Do I bring it up to my midwife at the time of the appointment? I’m very confused, I found out I was 2-3 weeks pregnant on 29th of April… and my last period started 22nd of march so if I took the test on 29th that would mean I got pregnant on or around the 8th or 15th is that right? I’m not sure how it works lol

Do you have irregular periods? And how long is your usual cycle length? If your last period started on 22nd March you would be considered to be 10 weeks pregnant now.

No my periods have been spot on normally the 22nd/23rd every month and they normally last 4-5 days x

Strange. Did you mean your last period was on 22nd April?

Online figures you out to be 10 weeks pregnant now due to your last period being 22nd March. I would call your doctor and check their workings

Pregnancy is always dated by the start of your last period unless you have crazy irregular cycles, which was my situation and we just went by what my dating scan said 😅

They do the initial ultrasound between 10 to 12 weeks ! You can't see much beforehand unless you have a medical condition it should be fine.

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

2nd baby

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.
