    Congrats! I don't know if there is any other way of finding out how far along you are apart from having a dating scan. Are you booked in to have one?

    I'm not booked in yet, I'm seeing my GP on Tuesday for a referral. Yeah 11 weeks sounds like a good guess, lol imagine I was pregnant all that time and didn't know! Way to skip the first trimester hehe (I hated my first trimester last time). I'm hoping I'm as far along as possible to excuse my protruding stomach!

    with my first i had no idea how far i was either due to a lack of periods. I was given a dating scan to give a rough estimate. at the time i was only 5 weeks along. I have my fingers crossed that you are around 11 weeks although 10 weeks keeps jumping out at me... I will be watching to find out how you go

    I thought they could tell from a blood test also ??? Either way though you have to wait for your GP but your blood tests might come in sooner thn you can get an US depending on where you live

    I just thought of something, I think they can get a rough idea from either your bloods or your urine. Whatever those pregnancy level thingy mibobs are (I am having a shocking night)found in. Is it the level of HCG???

    I didnt find out i was pregnant with DD until 12 weeks.

    I'm pretty sure they only way to know your gestation is via ultrasound. Even a blood test wouldnt tell for sure because everyones HCG goes up at different paces.
