Still Confused.

Questiooon.
I dont remember my last period since it
was so long ago, so everytime a doctor
asks me when my last period was, I have no
response. Anyway, I went to a clinic and
they stuck this stick thing in my cervix
to see how far along I was, they said 13
weeks, not exactly how many days because
they can only tell you by weeks, so i'm
guessing my predicted due date could be a
buncha days late or before the actual day
right?
Do any of you ladies know if theres
another way of findout how far along I am?
Like exactly how far along I am? Thanks
(:

Ultrasound! They measure how big the baby
is on the screen and they can tell exactly
to the day *if* they get the measurement
part right.

;\ what if your baby is underweight and
small? Then wouldn't they predict the
date to be sooner than what it really is?

The earlier they do the ultrasound, the
more accurate it is. Your baby doesn't
starting being over or under weight until
later on. If you'd only be 13 weeks, its
probably not too late for an accurate
ultrasound evaulation.

13 weeks? Aren't you due before I am?
Ultrasound is the best way to tell, most
babies are around the same size until late
in the last trimester I believe. Even if
your baby is small, they should be able to
tell where it is developmentally. If I
remember correctly you were due a few days
before me and my lmp was april 11th.

If you're 27 weeks, why would they say you
were 13 weeks? Shouldn't your doctor
know how far along you are?

Ooooohhhhhhh. I was tripping and about
to tell you to get a new doctor. You've
had an ultrasound right? Do they measure
the fundal height hen you go in for
prenatal care visits?
