DATES

Post by helenlouise »

HI all,

Hope everyones doing ok. Just been for an appointment at the hospital and have now been given a due date of 15th August which is 3 days earlier than we thought. Not that it makes much difference, but i find it slightly amusing as we know practically what time they were conceived let alone which day!
My bump is measuring the size of a 22 week singleton and i am 17+3 weeks , so my bump worry is calmed for a while.

BTW, i too am rhesus neg and the hospital today said they only give anti- d injections if you have a bleed. Otherwise they just do one after the birth and that is enough.

Roll on the 20 week scan, because then it will be spend, spend, spend!!!

Phew glad all ok with you - they keep bringing me date forward too! At my scan (16.6) they measured me as over 21 wk singleton and the twins over 17 weeks - about 17.3! Crazy isn't it!
We have or should I say I have been spending anyway - took one look at the bank balance today and nearly wept! Have not been earning since last september so my business better get going - yikes! Did they do anything else at scan - sex? Do you want to know.
When is your next scan - Mine is April 1st and I will be nearly 21 weeks!
Are they moving now?
Love
Tracey

hi girls
just so you know that you twinnies dont have the monopoly on dates being different. im now 26 2days but according to the scan im 24, like you lot i have to laugh as we know when it all started!!!! maybe its because i did have twins that the baby shows up smaller? or maybe these great machines are not so accurate? but my bump measures at 32cm... beat that... i have got diabetes test today, which app could be one of the reasons im so big, get the results on monday,
speak soon
love jackie xxx

Hi Girls,

glad to hear you are all feeling well. Just to join in on the dates thing, I went for my 12wk scan on 27 Feb, according to my dates from the IVF clinic I was 15wks+1 on that day with a due date of 20 August. At the scan they said I was 16wks+2 with a due date of 11 August. They said that the doctor at my 20 wk scan (on 29 March) would decide which due date to go with.

I have been quite good spending wise and have only bought odd bits and bobs like bibs and sleepsuits etc but cant wait for the 20 wk scan so I can go mad! We have decided that we are going to find out the sex as well. Has anybody got any names yet?

Take care all

Love Julie xx

Hi
I have been given the 12 August by the scan but the midwife is sticking to 11 August. I have not yet started to buy yet, did go the baby show on saturday and saw the bugaboo frog stroller that was being talked about a while ago and i was excited but have not decided on anything we are waiting until we come back from holidays in may. We are going up to john lewis to have another look then.
My midwife did say the baby is a good size for 18wks.

Hi Helen

great news about your scan.

I saw my midwife on Tuesday and there was a student in with her. She explained to the student that as I am carrying 2 babies my uterus would be approx 4 weeks ahead of my date, so about 25 weeks. Then she had a look and feel and said 'oh or maybe 28 weeks!' I am just hoping that the babies grow as well as my bump is. i sometimes feel like boobs and bump are going to become combined its that high!! That would look a pretty picture :oops:

Take care
Love Lisa xx
