Come on Melly...where is the report????

Hello MellyMel, How was your ultrasound today? We are all hoping everything went just great! Xo Kristin

Hello girls. I don't have time to type too much right now, but the sac, pole and heartbeat were all there!! They measure me at 6w/3d or something like that, but I have myself at 7w/4d, so now of course I"m worried that it is not growing properly. I see my doctor in two weeks and plan on speaking to her about these days. I was very discouraged when she told me that, because I KNOW I am 7w/4d! I will write more tomorrow..xoxo

Melly, I just wanted to say. . . ."YAY!" I know you are concerned that the dates are off. . . . I hope it's only something as simple as the u/s tech made a mistake in measuring and they need to re-do their measuring or their calculation. I'm so glad that everything else looked great!!

Alex - so glad everything is working out ok! I also don't know too much about fibroids, but just take it easy - at least you know your little one is OK! ~ MellyMel - glad your appointment went well! I wouldn't worry too much about the size - you may have just conceived a little later than you thought. (I know they go by the last date of your last period, but if you conceived later that could affect the size, measurement, etc....) ~ Well, I got the appointment for the week after next for the nuchal scan and blood tests - I'll be 12 weeks then, so timing is everything. (Melly - they are sending me to Nashua - if you do the tests they will probably send you there as well.) ~~ Have a great weekend eveyone - and good luck telling the families - I'm sure it will go well! I'll be thinking of all of you! : )

Thank you Perl and Daffy. I really don't want to call to bother them with this question and I'm trying to wait until I see the doctor. So you don't think it's anything for me to worry about then? I mean she said everything looked great, but did not elaborate and told me that "I" was off a week, but I think she is. I don't know. I'm just glad things look good, but that will fester in the back on my mind until I see her for 2 weeks. Maybe where we are only off a week I will not let it bother me so much. I will try not to call and wait until I see her. Good luck to you girls telling your loved ones this weekend and I hope you all have a beautiful Easter!!! xo

Hopeful~Kristin~Christa~Perl~Daffy~Aalex and everyone else. Have a HAPPY EASTER and try not to eat too many bunnies!!! xo

Mel, Are you counting from the first day of your last period, or from the date of conception. Doctors have there own way of determining dates because techinically the embryo does not start to grow until after conception as you may well be aware, and I would not pay too much attention to a difference of 6 days. Seems to me everything is just fine..I am really happy for you..try not to worry. Xo Kristin

and...HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU TOO! XO Kristin

Kristin-I'm counting from my lmp which was 2/21. Or, I believe I conceived March 4th, but that does not necessarily mean that is the day you start to count the fetus right? I mean it may not have implanted for a week is that right? If so, then that definately would make sense. Thanks for shedding light on that for me. I will not worry, they said things look great, so that will be that! Thanks again. I LOVE this board and you girls are great!!! xo

But wait, that makes me due in December now!! :( LOL. Oh well, close enough. I think the tech said 12/1. Another December baby for me I guess. I thought I was just getting by with November too!!!

Hi Melly - I'm exactly the same........I don't like to bother the doctor with too many questions and can't quite get my head around the dates that I've been given. I wish she would give me a due-date but it seems that she doesn't work like that so I've calculated it on the 'averages'. She throws so many dates around the room I get confused. However, the last scan I had on 5th April, she said all was fine and then when I went to see her yesterday (about some weird pins and needles in my hands!) she didn't ask about the pregnancy specifically so I can only a__sume that she thinks all is going well. Like everyone seems to be saying here - Try not to Worry! All your results look fine and a few days don't make too much difference. I'm also worrying about on/off symptoms - my b___bs don't hurt at all today and last night I had a weird feeling in my abdomen but nothing I can put my finger on - not really painful, more like a discomfort (Wind?) It's a nightmare and my lovely fella is getting disheartened with me saying that I've got no symptoms - as he says, we should be grateful rather than wishing ourselves over the toilet bowl!! aalexand - I wish I could take a leaf out of your book, as you sound so confident despite all your difficulties. I should count my blessings and stop moaning! I think part of the problem is that I'm really nervous about telling the family on Sunday. My best friend rang yesterday and told me that his wife is 17 weeks and they've only just started telling people - including their parents - so that makes me think I should wait after all. However, I keep telling myself that it's out of my hands and that if anything did happen I would want the support of the family around me. So the plan is that I'm still going ahead with the choccie egg subst_tute. Perl - are you still on course to announce on Sunday? I hope so - I could do with some moral support! Anyway, congratulations to all for getting this far and have a VERY HAPPY HOPPY EASTER BUNNY!

Hi Mel, I went to a couple of those sites one "parenthood.com" Due Date Calculator and another Pregnancy Calender and this is what it said. If your LMP was Feb 21st then you conceived March 7th and your due date is November 28th. You are 52 days pregnant and are in your 8th week. Technically you are 7 weeks 3 days preggers. I conceived Feb 28th and my LMP was Feb 14th...I am one week earlier then you. My due date is Nov 21st. But as we all know these dates are just guidlines for the most part. XO Kristin

I'm suppose to announce to my Mom this weekend too! Like I have said before..I am nervous about this..I did tell one of my brothers and his wife who has new twins of her own that I was pregnant..She was extactic.. In turn my one brother leaked it to my other brother..I really will feel bad if my Mom found out before I told her..I think my Mom would be hurt. In my heart I just hope everything will just stick with this pregnancy and I know my Mom will be happy for me eventually. All the best to you Hopeful on telling your family and you too Perl! Again, Happy Easter to All of you!!! Kristin

Told my mom..thought it would be better to do it just before Easter on Sunday. Well, her response was less than favourable. I knew she would not be happy for me..and it's not so much being pregnant,she is not happy with my situation with my partner. Firstly, we are not married..and secondly in the past he has been a jerk to me...and mothers do not forget this. Her first response was "well I guess this was planned wasn't it?" I said "yes, mom I do very much want to be a mother" I may never have the chance to do so again. I am 38 and have never been married. I have been with my guy for 6 years. He is Greek and I am not and ther are differences in the way I have been brought up and the way he has been brought up. She does not like the way he speaks to me at times..I agree with that. But the bottom line now .. if all goes well, I will have a baby this time..and everyone including my partner will have to step up to the plate and accept it as this was a choice and I am fortunate to make even this far. Anyway..hoping others have a more accepting response. I am going to start another thread as I have a question I need help answering. Thankyou XO Kristin

Dear Kristin, I'm so sorry to hear that your announcement didn't go well with your mother. Don't let it get you down and think about how your brothers and your sister-in-law are so happy and supportive. Also what's most important is that you stay positive. You are so excited about this pregnancy and you deserve it. I hope you get all the support you need from your fella too. Have a happy Easter now and I'm thinking of you.
