Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2016

I just had my first ultrasound at 5.5 weeks. It was quick but everything seemed fine. They saw the gestational sac and yolk sac. They seemed convinced there were twins even though we could clearly only see one. They even said next week at the heartbeat u/s they'll be able to tell. My dh is so scared now but I'm pretty certain it's just one.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...5bd23017c1.jpg

One week isn't that long, but right now it feels like forever. Also I really hope the baby is healthy, that is of course the main thing.

Purple, I understand, 5 weeks until your next scan is a long time but I really hope everything is fine with your baby. Did you have ms with your sons?

Does your dh have a preference? I'm already nervous because I swayed boy for dh. Are you symptoms different this time?

Okay this is probably a really dumb question but it's been a LONG Time since I've been pregnant. I know the exact date I ovulated (2.5 weeks ago) and when I type that in to a due date calculator it tells me I'm 4 weeks along. Why?

Because they count your due date starting from CD1, or in other words from your last menstrual period. Technically you are only 2.5 weeks but the due date includes the beginning of your cycle when you were on your period.

That's what I figured but that just doesn't make sense to me lol why would they count the time are aren't pregnant as you being pregnant? Lol so strange

Talking from my pro home birth side that makes me feel like it's just another way to tell women they are "past their due date" and rush them....

It's because it is to include the fully mature egg which starts at CD1 as it is being prepared to be released by the ovary.

Ok as far as we know. Feel like crap on a cracker most days so hoping that is a good sign. I am 7 weeks 5 days today. Next u/s is in just over 2 weeks.

🙏 for a healthy 🌈 🚼
