First appt. with my OB Posted: 05-06-08 20:56pm


I just met my OB today, she's really nice, a very friendly woman which is good We went over some things, what hospital i will give birth in, follow up appointments etc. I also found out that i am due now on the 22 of august! AND!!! She also had the results of the ultrasound with her, and just before we left, she had asked, 'so i guess you both know what your having right?' And we said no, so she said 'well have a look ' ITS A BOY!!! Our family doctor had a different sheet with the u/s results than the results my OB has and it confirmed its a little boy! We're so happy I had a feeling it was going to be a little boy! I have a follow up appt. in 4 weeks and im very excited about everything

You tested positive when you were less than 2 weeks pregnant? Odd that you got that false positive then when you really did turn out to be accidentally pregnant. I guess that morning sickness that started on Christmas day wasn't really morning sickness - just the regular kind of being sick.

no, she actually said, i concieved most likely more towards the middle or near the end of November. So what i was experiencing was actually morning sickness. The next day i even went to the doctor for a blood and urine test and was positive too. That was back on Dec.9 when i did at home pregnancy test, it was a digital read and said Pregnant. And Dec. 10 when i did urine and blood test. And my blood test results said i was indeed pregnant. So the morning sickness back on Christmas was BOTH the flu AND morning sickness following it. I would have concieved on about the 22 or 23 of November.

I plugged your due date into a few different conception calendars and they said you conceived on November 29th or 30th.

You would now be 25 weeks pregnant. With a due date of August 22nd you would have concieved around November 29.

Your doctor didn't tell you how many weeks pregnant you are? You're just guessing?

EDD = August 22 Last period = November 15 Probable conception = November 29 Your doctor has a little wheel that has all this information on it. There are literally thousands of online calculators that will give you this information too.

But wait..my last period was Nov.8th not the 15th. I think i should get my OB to explain this to me again, she said something like even though your last period was the 8th of nov. it doesnt mean youhad a miscarriage or anything...but i can't remember exactally word for word what she said, i was a little excited about hearing its a boy.

It means you didn't ovulate until November 29th.

My boyfriend and i had sex yesterday,
November 7th and he finished inside me.
Today, November 8th, i went to the washroom, and noticed a little blood so i put on a pad. Im getting a little blood and some brown colour too.
My period is supposed to come on November 13th...
Could this be early implantation bleeding?
Or a sign of pregnancy?

Has this happened to anyone, if so could you give and share some advice?

Then your due date is a week 'off'. You should go back to your doctor and ask her why she changed it from August 14.

the only reason why she changed it was because of the first ultrasound that i had a 6 weeks and the u/s tech said she could not see a heart beat, said i looked more like 3-4 weeks but that my uterus was looking good.

Maybe your baby isn't growing at the average rate? My baby's growing faster than normal and it changed my due date.

No, because if that were true, they would have seen that and told me when iwent for my u/s at 18weeks. And my Ob would have also put me in for another u/s right away if that were the case. Im measuring at the right rate. Everything is fine and going well with my baby. Did your doctor or OB tell you that the baby was growing faster, and did you have an u/s that determined that? Were you measuring farther along than you should have been to also determine that?

Yes, I was measuring farther along when we went for a U/S. I didn't mean it in a bad way. Baby's all have different growth rates, you know. Your U/S should determine your due date, not just what your doctor says. So if you're measuring right for the new due date, then your baby actually COULD be growing slower (NOT necessarily a bad thing.) If you were measuring right for your old due date, your doctor would not have changed it.

The only reason why she has changed it is because of the first u/s at 6weeks that i had. it looked more like 3-4 weeks. so she is thinking i concieved later on in november. The ultrasound would have shown if the baby was measuring too far along, or slowly developing. I know you dont mean it in a bad way, but im pretty sure that if that were/is the case, they would inform me about it. My fiancee also counted from when i was ovulating after the first u/s and thought that i most likely concieved around my ovulation day. where as with doctors, they use the wheel and go by the last period. When you dont get pregnant on your period[yes it does happen sometimes but is rare] and that is an estimate for when you would be due. When i go to my next OB appt. i will ask her why exactaly she moved the due date, and if the baby is developing well and such. I remember my sister inlaw said that she always was a week ahead of her pregnancy when she would get ultrasounds done and measurements.

See, I think its more likely that your baby isn't developing as fast because how in the world would you get a positive test so early on? Doesn't add up at all.
