Tell them you're not entirely sure about your LMP & get 'em to do an ultrasound. :devil:

Are you getting an U/S? You said they were going to measure you so that's why I am asking. It's to early for them to do it without one. If so you should see a HB now that you are 7wks+. I saw mine at 6 weeks exactly and then with the doppler at 9 weeks which is pretty early still. I got lucky. If you're not then I would take Sabra's advice to try and get one.
That is just horrible what that lady said to your DH. I can't imagine saying such a thing.

LOL, sounds like something I'd do.

I'd be looking forward to the u/s, even that early in the morning. Funny that they want you to drink the water though. At 8 weeks or so it will probably be a transvaginal one, and you don't need to be well-watered for those. I know when I had the dating u/s in my first pregnancy I drank water expecting a normal one, and they said "Oh, it's transvaginal, you didn't need to drink." :rolleyes:

I always get a tummy ultrasound before a vaginal ultrasound. The look at other things, so that is why they want a full bladder. They check your ovaries and the oversize of your uterus ect. Then they make you empty your bladder and do the vaginal scan. A literal pain to have to drink all that water. I hate drinking that much! So uncomfortable!

Yah, I hate teaching hospitals. The Navy hospital in Portsmouth, VA was a teaching hospital during my first pregnancy (for civilians, oddly enough), so for my first appointment they asked if they could have a resident do my pelvice. I was like, "OK, no problem," and it was all fine and dandy until the 'teacher' decided to repeat the exam. :eek:

My big ultrasound is scheduled for 4 weeks, Feb 1st! Woohoo! I had my 16 week checkup today. I am still -1 from pre preg weight. But at my size, he isn't worried at all, my tummy is definately getting BIGGER. Heartrate was 155.

Hi guys. Has anyone lost their pregnancy trackers? I know they say no outside links but some have been removed and some not. Really confusing I guess.

Flower- yes you have me beat. If I were 36, my oldes would be 17 years old but I'm only 32 and he's going on 13. Does people say you're crazy for having a baby after having your children nearly grown?? I haven't actually been told that but I"m sure people are thinking. My own Dr. told me I was starting over. I told him, not really cause this is the last one.

Sabra I hope you do stick around cause I am going to try breast feeding for the first time ever with this baby and would love your hints and tips on it. I am really wanting to pump and feed with a bottle and supplementing if necessary. I may be asking for too much but since this is my last baby, I wanted to give it a try.

Heather I hope your little one stays in until you're ready to see it. I had my twins at 25 weeks so you're definately in the positive being in the 30 week range already. I will feel some relief once I make it to 25 weeks this time around.

My u/s is on tuesday to hopefully amongst other things, reveal the gender. I have never known what my kids were going to be until they were born so I"m excited to maybe know this time.

Yes, everyone thinks I am insane that I will be getting my oldest his drivers licence about the same time I deliver! Owell, nothing in life is set in stone. My sister has 4 sons all within 5 years, That to me is insane! And she wants 2 more. This is my last. Took too long to make this baby.

I've been pretty good at getting pregnant when my prior kid is around one year old. :lol: Bobbie was 13 months when I got pregnant with Linda, and Linda had been one about a week when I got pregnant with Esther. It was kind of an oops in both cases. Since it took me 18 months to get pregnant with Bobbie, I really wasn't expecting to get pregnant the second time after a month of trying! With Esther...well, we were gonna start trying this past July, but I forgot one little thing about NFP--that you can ovulate the day after your fertile cervical fluid dries up.

Dana, I reckon I'll be around here til I quit nursing, and if past performance is any indication, that's going to be a few years yet. ;) I think it would be nice to have one year where I'm not pregnant. I've been pregnant at least part of every year since 2001, though I did have most of '04 free.

Marbear,
Your little one is sooo cute. Love the curls! :)

Yeah, Marbear! I'm an idiot & I keep forgetting to tell you how cute he is! :D
