nixon, depends on what measurement they were taking at the time - it may have been around belly or around the head. we measured 5.55-5.65cm CRL, over 7.3cm head circ - can't remember belly, but it had a little pot!
It was the only measurement I could see on the scan pic - I don't remember them measuring belly or head- oh well will just have to wait and see what they say at the next one.
does it have an EDD on there at all to show you whether it was unusually large measurement? i know for every measurement we had taken, it showed, based on that measurement, what the EDD would be. Every date was within five days of our EDD so on average it all worked out to be on par. if a measurement had been particularly out of character, the doc or sonographer would have commented i'm sure.
AFM - not a lot happening - still fighting ms on a daily basis, and trying to work out when next scan will be. was hoping to push morphology scan to close to 20 weeks for more clarity and stuff like that, but worked out we've hit safety net, hit 18w the sunday after Christmas, so if we have our scan done between then and new years eve, we can sneak in under the medicare safety net and pay maybe 20 for the scan out of pocket, instead of 100... DH loves the idea of finishing the year with morph scan, so will have to get referral from the doc next week and book it in.
we've also decided to have a 4d scan. it was for a while a maybe maybe not scenario, but we queried our local 4d scan mob, and they are, from what i have read elsewhere, about $80 minium cheaper than the places down in the city - and they do the scans from 26-29weeks (where i've read a lot of people saying they have to be 30+ weeks). timing works out that i'm 29weeks on valentines day weekend, which is when we got together, so we're looking at having the scan the week before that....
There is no way I can properly catch up on what's been going on in here!
Will have a go though, and try to get back into things.
Scooby and Numa - hey belly buddies!! Hope you're both doing marvellously! Not much longer now, it's getting scarily close!
TL - congratulations on your girl! Wonderful news. So glad that everything is going smoothly, and I love the name Charlotte.
Shannon - huge congratulations on the arrival of Julia and Owen, you must be so happy that they are here at last.
BG - LOVE the new avatar! So glad all went well at your 12 week scan. Very exciting to have a 4D scan!! I love getting a quick 3D glimpse of bubs at each appointment.
Kahlan - great news on your levels!
on tra_k - I hope you get some good news on your levels soon
BW - really glad to hear that all is going well with munchkin. My baby is also measuring ahead and OB is making 'big baby' noises, which concerns me a bit. But the u/s measurements have such a big margin of error, I'm sure we both have babies within the normal range. Hope work calms down a bit soon, when do you finish?
Hippy Mum - you said something a couple of pages back about being vegetarian. I wouldn't worry about it, I'm vegetarian too and all is fine. I haven't really had anyone hassle me about it. No idea what some people might be saying behind my back though!! I was vegan but thought it might be contributing to my issues with conceiving, so I took up dairy and free range eggs, and cut back on the soy products. I think it may have helped (well, that plus the fertility treatment )
LS and Nicole - congrats on the great 12 week scan results!!
Megan - congratulations on your little boy!! Wonderful news!
I'm really sorry girls, I just can't keep up with everything that's going on in here. I will try to keep up more from now on. But I am just so happy that this thread is so busy!! This has been one fertile year for LTTTCers.
As for me, had an awful start to the week that has turned out fine. Went to my ob checkup on Monday to find that there was lots of sugar in my urine, and pin pri*k test had blood sugar level of 9.9. So stupid midwife got in a flap and started saying I probably had gestational diabetes. She really scared me, and I got very upset. Finally got in to see Ob and he started talking about early induction (meaning he wouldn't be at the birth). Anyway, he sent me off for the 2 hour GTT, which I did the next day, got the results Wednesday night and I passed, thankfully. It was such an up and down week. But it has made me think more about my diet and that I need to do some more light exercise.
I am getting really impatient to meet our baby. Got a good look at him on Monday, he is looking pretty cute!! Ob says 100% a boy and that he is very well endowed! I think he may have been saying that to flatter DH.
Anyway, I'm really sorry to those girls I have missed. I've been reading off and on and trying to keep up with what's happening. Sending you all massive and happy mummy and baby wishes!

I hadn't been visiting the PALTTTC for some time now, but am so happy to be in here now and catching up with how everyone is doing. It's wonderful to see so many new lovely ladies - it's just so pleasing to see the thread so full at the moment! I hope you're all feeling well in yourselves and managing with all the pregnancy "niggles" ok. I will post personals when I have caught up properly and feel immersed in the thread again.
I want to apologise for disappearing a while back without any notice of what was going on for me - I just kind of shut down and stopped communicating bit by bit until I was off BB altogether for quite a number of weeks.
I had somewhat of a slow meltdown which resulted in me being diagnosed with depression, although I have been seeking professional help and started writing in my blog again which has been such a cathartic, helpful thing. I do know that there is wonderful support here on BB, and that I would have had so much of that here in this thread, but I just took everything internally and slowly stopped dealing with things effectively, externally. I'm sorry I just disappeared! The circumstances of moving into our own house (rental) here in the UK and getting all our furniture back from Australia after 8 months living out of suitcases (as well as trying to adjust to the huge amount of change and events in our lives in the last 12 months - including pregnancy) seemed to be the trigger.
I am so pleased to be able to say that CB is doing really well! Kicking occasionally despite the lack of room now, but squirming like a trooper the rest of the time! I was diagnosed with GD last week after being given the all clear for my 28 week GTT and have been testing my blood sugar levels all week - and hopefully I'll know later on today whether I need insulin or not. Growth scans indicated that CB was getting quite big (more like a 36-37 week size at 34 week scan), hence I was tested again for GD. Induction is looking likely, particularly if CB wants to keep comfy past my due date. If I have to go on insulin then induction at 38 weeks is likely (less than 3 weeks away!) I feel well physically - certainly not like a diabetic! - although I am really waddling quite a bit now, with quite a lot of Braxton Hicks (varies quite a lot from day to day) and find unbroken sleep is generally quite novel experience now! Just really starting to get excited about meeting little CB soon!
Anyway, enough waffling/rambling from me - I am really looking forward to catching up with everyone and following your journeys again - I'm sorry I haven't been able to for a while, but I'm excited to be here now to see how you are all doing!
Devon, Thanks hun...Yep i am very confident with my diet...my mother worries for me- completely unfounded. I have all the nutrition i need and I take really god care of myself. I have had to cut back on Dairy and don't touch soya because of estrogen dominance, i think that really helped me. It is funny, all our little bodies are just that bit different but i think the biggest gift is to know yourself as best you can. Yeah but mum is fine, I am alternative health and mum is very alternative..we just have a few conflicting views and she is very passionate about it. Love her though, she is just trying to help. I can't even remember what i said a few pages back now...but thanks for thinking of me hun.
Hun, I am sorry for the GD scare...hope all works out ok.
Miss_c...glad to have you in here hun and hope you are doing well. Boy i hope i avoid GD, you are handling it so well though. Boy i believe 3 weeks....so so close now.
I have been MIA this week, travelling for work but back in rainy Melbourne again - no place like home
So many posts this week I'm sure I won't remember all the personals but I'll try!
Bel - hope you are okay, thinking of you. Take care of yourself and great news about the bubs.
Shannon - congratulations on Julia and Owen, georgous names
TL - thank you for letting me read your blog, you have had such an amazing journey. Your blog gave me confidence and really helped me feel in better spirits about the spotting.
BG and Nic - great news on your scans, it must feel great to be able tell the world your good news.
On_Trak - thinking of you for you scan on Monday
Kahlan - great news about your levels - you must feel much better now. When is your first scan?
Janie, BW and Devon - hi and hope you are well.
I know I've missed some, Sorry! Sending belly rubs and happy mummy thoughts to everyone.
AFM - had some more spotting this week but it never gets any worse and pg symptoms are there every day so I am trying not to freak out every time I get a spot - easier said than done ! We have our first OB appoitment on Tuesday at 8 weeks and I think he will do a scan (or I am going to ask for one) so looking forward to making another milestone. Still and hoping everyday for everything to be okay.
