oh and fulltimemum just let me know when you find out your edd so i can add you to the due dates list xx
 
WOW What a bump! I need to take a more recent one (before an after!).
So today is my day off and I've been LAZY ALL DAY LONG! Loving it!
 
Welcome to the new gals, happy and healthy 9 mos to you!!

Nothing much to report here, had a busy weekend, threw a BBQ yesterday at our house so busy cleaning up from that. Man are my legs and feet sore, I was on them most of the day/night.

Have a scan tomorrow morning with my regular OB (first with him and not fertility specialist). Hoping to see little one growing nice and on target and with a strong heart beat!! Scared because this was around the time I discovered the mmc last time. Another milestone I'm looking forward to crossing off my list!!

No major symptoms for me, boobs are only slightly tender (but a ton of blue veins remain on them), not much of a bump or bloat, and no real stretching pains either. Sometimes when I stand quickly I'll get a little niggle, but that's about it. No sickness either, felt like I was going to throw up on Friday but it passed and hasn't been back since. Lucky I know but I wouldn't mind a little naseau to put the mind at ease.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and that the coming week isn't too hectic for you.

Good luck to all those with upcoming scans, I think we're getting close to when many will have their dating scans, can't wait to see all the pics!!!
 
So when should a dating scan be? What is that difference between a dating scan and all the other scans? As in, how can they tell the age of the baby on this scan vs any other scan previously?
 
I've heard many get scans around 12 weeks (some are earlier though, some later). I'm not sure what the difference is, but perhaps 12 weeks is the best time to get as accurate a dating as possible. I think after the first tri as little one's grow at different rates it's harder to get an accurate date. And maybe before that time little one is so small and curled up that it can be hard to measure accurately.

It seems that for a lot of folks the dating scan is the first scan that they'll receive. Maybe some practitioners like to wait until around 12 weeks because by that time the chance of miscarriage is decreasing and unfortunately with the way hospitals and drs operate, they just don't like to waste their time in early pregnancy. I've only had early scans because I was on fertility treatment. Many of my friends only got their first scan between 10 - 12 weeks.
 
I guess that's why I've been having early scans too, because I was at a fertility clinic as well. It's really nice to be honest.
 
I know! My FS said I could come in as often as I wanted for reassurance and also said they are in the office 7 days of week so if I had a scare or bleeding to just call and they could see me. They really know how to take care of newly pregnant ladies there and give them the reassurance they need. Especially given all most of us have gone through ttc.

It's going to be hard transferring to my reg OB where I'm just one of the masses. Was so spoiled by my FS!
 
Thanks dietrad!!
