Bit of background - I had an early scan (due to having a previous ectopic) at what I thought was 6 weeks 2 days (I charted so thought I new when I ovulated). The scan showed I was 6 weeks 1 day so didn't think much of that.
I then had my first OB appointment yesterday when I was either 10 weeks 3 days (my dates) or 10 weeks 2 days (from early scan dates).
The whole thing was a bit of a disaster. The OB wasn't there as he was sick (fair enough can't help that!). So the midwife did my history and then the sonagrapher did a quick scan (his wife). The scan showed that I was only 10 weeks.
Should I be worried that each time I go I am loosing days???? Its really concerning me. I did see the heartbeat (172 bpm) and the baby was moving around constantly, so I guess that is a good thing.
The other thing I'm really concerned about is that I wanted to book my nuchel fold scan. They made the booking for the 2nd August, which by my dates makes me 14 weeks 4 days, or by the earlier scan 14 weeks 3 days. By the scan yesterday it would make me 14 weeks 1 day. Either way - this is far too late to do this scan. I know that it needs to be done between the 11th week and 13 weeks 6 days. I said to the receptionist this is too late and she said no - its cutting it fine but its OK and kind of fobbed me off.
The other thing is that I won't be actually seeing my Dr till I'm over 15 weeks pregnant. I can't handle that as being pregnant is not a good time for me after loosing my first baby all I can think about is bad things and I need reassurance.
