Warning:This is long and rambly. Read at your own risk.Yesterday I hinted to the midwife that I'd like an ultrasound, so she ordered one. Normally they just do one at 20 weeks, but since I'd only had 2 postpartum periods before getting pregnant again it was fesable that my cycle was off so calculating my due date based on my last period might not be accurate. She said I was 7 weeks based on that, knowing when we had sex and that when I was charting before Maggie that I ovulated late made me think I wasn't as far along, maybe 6 weeks. Plus I took a pregnancy test on July 16 and it was negative, took one on the 19th and it was positive. The ultrasound tech had trouble getting measurements to even date the pregnancy. It stressed me out. She said I had a tilted uterus. We saw the sac and the yolk, finally she got enough to date me 5 weeks 6 days. I know logically this date makes sense based on the above and that it doesn't necessairly mean anything is wrong, but of course I'm worried that things aren't developing properly. The ultrasound tech told me I should call and see if the midwife will want me to have another ultrasound in a few weeks to get a more accurate measurement and see the heartbeat (which I interpreted as meaning to make sure there's an embryo developing) I have a call in to the midwife, but I'm having trouble reconciling this information. I've read way too many posts on first trimester about women having ultrasounds where they measure behind and then the embryo doesn't develop.
Ready to rumble.
