Anyone measure ahead at dating ultrasound? What did you have?
I had my dating US yesterday for my third baby. I measured 6 days ahead based on my LMP. Based on my Ovulation date however it is only 1 day ahead. The tech asked if I ovulate early and how long my cycles are. I told her I measured ahead for my first two babies as well. They were both boys so now I’m convinced this is my third boy because I’m measuring ahead yet again.
Anyone measure ahead for a girl and I guess for a boy in the past??

I answered you via PM but I'm reposting here in case other people start worrying about this and also because I see I didn't finish a sentence in my reply.
You can't tell gender on a 9 week ultrasound and measuring ahead does not mean the baby is a certain gender. It simply means you might have ovulated a little sooner than you thought or the tech measured wrong.
Babies develop a certain way. Boys do not develop any faster than girls. There is a set pace at which human fetuses develop and early on in pregnancy there is practically NO variation in that pace even due to genetics. At 9 weeks gestation, you could take the child of two people who were 5 ft tall and the child of two people 6 ft tall and they would be the exact same size and stage of development! Variation in size comes later in pregnancy and more likely afterwards because boys and girls grow at different rates all thru childhood (and in fact as we all know girls develop faster at some points of childhood)
BTW my two biggest babies were my first boy (8 lb 9 oz) and my daughter (8 lb 8 oz) and they were all very nearly the same length at birth.
I understand the need to guard your heart and that's fine, but I don't want you despairing when there is no reason to.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Thank you. Sorry I didn’t see your message!
I did in fact ovulate early. My cycles when I conceived were around 27 days and it would seem that cycle I ovulated on CD10. Im just so nervous that it allll feeels too similar to my other babies that it’s all just the same again.

And of course it's good to prepare in case it's an opposite. I just want you to understand that none of this means anything and as you know already, but for others who are wondering - my two similar pregnancies were my 2nd boy and my girl. My other three were all totally different from those two and from each other. Symptoms just don't predict gender.

I know. I think I would have more hope of my pregnancies were drastically different. Like puking with one and not the other. But mine are so slightly different that I think this just falls in line with it all. Plus the other things that mean nothing (measuring a head and high heart rate) are just all the same. I’m sure if I fail my glucose test by 1 point I won’t be surprised as I did w my other two pregnancies as well.
