We are having a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am over the moon! I wanted a girl so badly

One thing that was concerning is she said that I was measuring 8 days behind. I have read that anything over 1 week is a concern?
She did say that the baby was in proportion and it just may mean that it may just be a small baby. Me and my sister were both small so maybe my bub is the same? Any insight to this? Should I be concerned.

Also what causes the baby to measure behind or be small?

Thanks girls we are so excited we have a Princess on the way!

Congratulations on finding out you'll be having a little princess soon! I must say, girls are fantastic
Can't help you with the measurements though, but if your dr isn't too concerned, then neither should you.

Congratulations on your princess!

I agree with Jodi, if your dr doesn't seem concerned then neither should you Good that bub is all in proportion!

Thanks for your replies Girls. It wasnt my doctor that did the scan, it was just done at an ultrasound clinic. My results get sent to my doctor and I am due to see him in about 1 week.

you could have ovulated earlier than thought ... but hey when was you last period? Do your dates add up? as some time these u/s can be inaccurate as well.
I know as my pregnancy dates were a month out between when i though my baby was due and when the u/s thought he was due. Mine was July 12 edd from LMP and U/S was July 31 and i had him June 29 he was perfect! So go with your dates! xx
