First scan

So I went for my first viability scan thinking I was about 6 weeks and 2 days. She said it’s measuring 1.3mm and we saw a heartbeat!! But she thinks I’m under 6 weeks pregnant because of how small it is. I don’t really get it though because I know when I ovulated🤣 any thoughts? So much anxiety has been lifted since I’ve seen this wow. Think I’ll go back at 9 weeks!

Mine didn't line up with my ovulation date at my first scan, but had caught up by the time I went for another at about 10 weeks. Scans are usually accurate to within about 3 days - the margins are so tiny at this stage! :)

Hey! I was the same! I’m measuring under 6 weeks and it was 3mm but my app tracking said I was 7 weeks 😂 it’s confusing because the app was so spot on with everything else including ovulation days!

Apps usually date you from the LMP date (last menstrual period) so if you ovulate on day 14 then technically LMP dated will be 2 weeks ahead. Am I understanding that correctly?

When I went with my daughter they told us we were nearly a week behind what we though, then at my 12 week scan was 5 days ahead of what we though. So don’t worry too much

I went for my scan on 30th at 6+2 (I have very regular cycles, I’m certain of my ovulation dates and had a positive test at 10 dpo so it can’t be late ovulation or implantation for me) but baby measured 3.34mm which they dated at 5+4. They said they’re not worried and it’s normal to measure behind at this early stage, but I was still kind of worried because I’m so certain of my dates. I’m going back for a rescan on 16th x

Weird pain?

I'm 6 weeks pp and since about 1 week pp noticed a bruised feeling under the clitoris area (I.e not surface level but kinda behind it). I feel it when squeezing pelvic floor or when leaning forwards seated. No change in pain level since first felt it. I assume it's general trauma to the area during birth (also baby was born with forceps). Anyone else have a similar experience? 😅

Have you started dilating? If yes, how much!

Just reached home from my 36th week appointment with my Obstetrician - she told me I'm 0% dilated and that my mucus plug is 50% intact. I was wondering if there's anybody in the same boat as I am.
