Unhappy with US

in 1st Trimester
So at about 8 weeks we had our first US to confirm the date.  The dr. who did the US was a different dr. from my first pregnancy.  He was quick and to the point.  He said I measured 8 weeks.  Did not tell me my due date and didn't tell me the heartbeat rate either.  His office sched. me for the NT scan next week.  I told hubby I do not want to go back to him.  So according to the US I got pushed back a week!

    When I was pg with DD, my due date changed a million times.  I have no idea why.  Perhaps becuase I was getting NST weekly for my GD but still. It was annoying! Sorry your not happy with that Dr. I would say you have every right to request who you want next time.

    sorry you had such a bad experience. Like pp, I also had multiple due dates with DS, it was very annoying. You may get another date at the NT. Good luck!

    Why didn't you just ask??  Its not that hard to speak up when you want something.  You can't blame the doctor for getting pushed back a week, obviously the conception date was just a little off.

    2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
    TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
    Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14

    It was just a totally different experience from the first pregnancy.  Hence the reason why I won't be going back to him to have my NT done.

    This. They've actually never told me the exact heart rate either; sometimes I can see it on the screen and know it from that, or I've asked.  But they've never said, "And here's the heart rate at 150bpm"...just "Looks good!"  I actually haven't ever been given a due date from an ultrasound either. Mine are just going off LMP even though the baby has been measuring 4 or 5 days ahead.

    If you were measuring 8 weeks exactly it shouldn't be too hard to calculate - just add 32 weeks!

    He isn't my reg. dr just a refferal to have an u/s done.  And I don't think I am blaming him for pashing the date back.

    Thanks.  I never had this issue with my DS.  Just bummed cause I thought I was further along.  Will wait to see what they say at the NT scan.

    I only had 1 u/s with my first and that was around 20 weeks.  This time I had some bleeding last week, and they had me come in and do an u/s.  I saw the u/s tech who does all of the u/s at my OB's office.  The first thing she told me was the heartrate (what a relief), then she measured and said I measure exactly how far along I was.  She checked everything else, and everything looked good. 

    If you are not happy with the dr, I would definitely see another one.  Maybe he was rushed because they were overbooked, but I would still want my fair share of his time.
