    I started leaking at about 18 weeks in my first pg.

    If you know when your last period was, and are confident it was a real period, then your dates shouldn't be too far off. The most accurate time for the docs to determine bubs age by ultrasound is before 12 weeks I think. It'd be pretty inaccurate to do it now at 25 weeks.

    I was pretty huge with DD and everyone was convinced I was going to go early.. and well.. I did.. she was 6 weeks prem LOL. I hated people saying it to me tho.. and hate it even more now that they were right!

    You obviously just have a big beautiful bump! Enjoy it I loved looking pregnant, I'd be very disappointed it people couldn't tell I was pregnant LOL.

    The reason I done a HPT for my second bub was that I had started leaking. I was 5 weeks pg.

    As for the comments on size etc - I am always copping that. It can be quite maddening.

    sometimes the scan does the wrong date but usually your period date is accurate. my last period due date was september 3rd but my first scan at 8 weeks said i was due september 19th. I gave birth september 7th and they said she was definently overdue despite being small (6 pounds 15) - apparently you can tell by their skin or something and the placenta? Mind you as the scans progressed it was looking earlier and earlier with the last scan guessing the 10th.
