2nd timers (or 3rd & 4th...)

I had my first appointment today and everything looked good except my fundal height.  The doctor said that my uterus shouldn't be above my pubic bone at this point and that I am measuring around 12-14 weeks, not 8. 

I know that my dates aren't that off.  My LMP was around 9/29 and I got a BFN at 9 DPO and a BFP at 11 DPO, so I am pretty sure that my due date is close.

The doctor has ordered an ultrasound to rule out :::gulp::: multiples.

Could it just be because this is the 2nd time around?  I knew that I would probably measure a little ahead due to this being my 2nd pregnancy, but 4-6 weeks??

    I measured six weeks ahead with my second one the entire time.  The dr was sure my baby would be close to 9-10 lbs once he determined there was only one.  She was 5 lbs 15 oz and my uterus is just a big ol' stretched out bag :)

    DD3 measured a few weeks ahead, but never as much as DD2.  My first DDs had the same due date a year apart so not too much time for things to get back to normal . :)

    I have had no experience measuring ahead! My younges was 7lbs7oz and 1w3d late. I have a titled uterus which may be lead to be a little bit of a pain but he said nothing else out of the ordinary.. I'm sure I dont know what I am asking for, but I think it might be cool to have multiples! How long do you have to wait for your U/S?

    I'm 9 weeks and at my appointment last week, my uterus was slightly above my pubic bone. My doctor didn't comment on it at all. I can feel that it's moved up a little higher since. *shrug*

    With Olive(my second) my uterus was always 3 to 4 weeks ahead from the very beginning. Looks like it's the same thing this time around as well.

    My ute is right on schedule measuring 8 weeks, and the gummi bear only measured 3 days ahead on the U/S. So, I'm not experiencing that at all.

    Yikes @ the possibility of multiples! LO was by NO means an easy baby so I am not as excited about the idea of twins as I was the first time around! Better to measure ahead than behind though IMHO.

    We love our little guys!
