A baby and a heartbeat is great news! Once you have seen a beating heart the risk of miscarriage goes down considerably!

You could have ovulated later than you think, and the scans aren't that accurate so try not to worry!!

Unfortunately I know I when I ovulated as I felt it happen. I have polycystic ovaries and it hurts like a stabbing pain when I ovulate. However, I do know that I implanted later so maybe I ovulated when I thought I did but actually conceived the baby a few days later? I know I implanted late. I had a blank test at 12 dpo and then a positive at 14dpo.

Augh, I don't know. I want to be happy but I've just scared myself more. I couldn't even really enjoy seeing the baby on the screen cos hearing her say six weeks just threw me

I guess there's a whole lot we don't know about what's going on inside us, even if you felt the ovulation pain it may be that things didn't happen quite when you thought? When I was trying for my first baby I tracked my ovulation and I used to get a positive ovulation test, and then another one a few days afterwards so I had no clue what was going on there

Try and focus on the good heartbeat it won't be long before your 12 week scan. Or maybe you could book another reassurance scan for 10 weeks? See how baby is progressing.

It's more than likely going to be fine!

Yeah I just said to my husband we'll have to have one in another few weeks. I'll be spending the next fourteen days in terror that it won't grow I'm supposed to be working now but I can't concentrate.

Hi @GeeKnox, welcome and congrats! I'm due Nov 14th so we're about the same amount of pregnant!! Don't worry about getting an appointment with your doc too much, there's not a whole lot they do until your 12 week scan (at least in the UK).

My symptoms came and went in my last pregnancy like that. Was awful week 6, week 7 was fine and then week 8 hit me like a truck. Enjoy the calm while you can

Thank you so much. I will try to take it as it comes.

@SockVortex - i know its a horrible time at the moment but please stay positive. Scans that early on are known to be out with dates. Sometimes it's just impossible to get exact measurements/dates when they are so small.
Seeing a heartbeat is very good so try and hang on to that rather than hanging on to the weeks.
You have said that you think implanted late so this could be why.
Stay positive otherwise you will drive yourself insane x

I measured less then that I thought, nearly a week. It all depends on when you implanted as I need exactly when I ovulated too. Its was the same with my DD I measured nearly a week earlier that I thought I was. If she said a good strong heartbeat there is nothing to worry about. I had a scan with the NHS and the lady told me there that their ultrasound machine isn't as high tech as what they use for the dating scans so my due date still might move front.

Stay positive xx

 

[SockVortex]

Thanks for all of your kind words, guys. I’m trying really hard to be positive. I keep looking at the picture and reminding myself that it’s really my baby and that it has a good heartbeat. I guess it’s all I can do until we have the next scan.

I realised I’ve been really dumb. I forgot that my cycles are roughly 33 days and not the average 28. I ovulated on day 19 and not 14...

I just put that number into the NHS pregnancy calculator and voila: ‘You are six weeks one day pregnant.’

It makes sense now, haha. Seems the baby is measuring bang on for my dates. I wish they’d explained that to me at the time! I even wrote down my 33 day cycle length for them which is why I guess they weren’t concerned! It also means I have to do week six all over again *sigh*.

This is great news though (however annoying that you've had to put your date back). Hopefully you can worry less now? (I won't say stop worrying because that never happens).
Yay for baby being perfect for your dates with a longer cycle!!

Brilliant news @SockVortex xx

Hello ladies. I'm new here and its my first time. Nervous as hell. Got my BFP 4 days before my birthday. I'm due 18th of November. I want to get an appointment with my doctor but we're still in lock down for the CoVid-19. Week 6 was a nightmare, week 7 has been very kind which makes me worry - a lot. Breast are a little tender, so ot reassures me a smidge

Congratulations and welcome xx

Lol, still feel sick every day. It's not too bad if I sit still so I'm mostly just on the sofa doing my work whilst my husband brings me things. I normal feel well enough to help out by tea time

Crazy sick We've decided to send the kids back to their childminder (both my husband and I are keyworkers so we can) so he can get his work done and I can just lie in bed and not vomit continuously all day.

On a positive note though, I got my appointment through for my scan. It's on 5th May only a month to wait!

I feel so sorry for you I can't imagine what it must be like to be so sick and to also have kids x__X I'm glad you can have a bit of a break now!

Damn about repeating week 6. Time goes so slow when you are pregnant! I'm so keen to get to trimester 2 already!!!

(probably) 8 weeks today and baby (who I have nicknames Pippin) is apparently the size of a raspberry. The thought of a raspberry sized baby is too cute!!

Hope everyone's alright this morning x
