I am 7w4d today (according to my LMP) and I haven’t gone for my first official sonogram yet at my doctor’s office - that will be end of next week. I did go to a private sonographer yesterday though since I was feeling nervous and haven’t seen the baby yet. I just wanted to make sure something was in there. She said the baby was measuring small and wasn’t sure the date was right and we could barely see it. The photos are pretty unclear and just look like a blob and she said she only saw a flicker of a heartbeat but it was hard to tell. The private sonographer told me to come back in two weeks when it’s grown a bit, but the whole experience sent my anxieties through the roof. I’m wondering if I’m measuring small because it stopped growing and I may have a miscarriage coming up? Is that a possibility?
I have the most mild of symptoms, if any - aside some mild cramping but I’ve had that for at least 3 weeks now consistently, it hasn’t been anything worrisome, and just large and sore boobs. And napping quite often. No nausea though, limited food aversions. Just some frequent peeing and night insomnia but I feel like that’s because I’m so nervous about this baby.
Help for a nervous mama!
Re: Measuring Small
A few things, when do you ovulate? I ovulate late. I know this. So my LMP is not a great indicator of exact dating. With my first I was due Sept 21, they moved it to Sept 27 at my 20 weeks scan because baby was measuring smaller (healthy but smaller). And then she was born October 6 - with basically zero signs of being overdue. Hah. So, 16ish dates past what my LMP date was. Baby was and is healthy - started grade 2 this year!
