Developing Pregnancy Posted: 07-02-05 00:13am
Hey everyone :p
i was just wondering if you're stomach
grows does that mean the baby is
definately developing?
Im asking this because I was pregnant a
year and a half ago and when I had an
ultrasound I found out the baby wasnt
developing and it was dead, and I hadn't
grown at all.
Im 13 weeks pregnant now and when you look
at my stomach side on you can definately
tell im pregnant.
This is a good sign isn't it?
Im just so scared of it happening again

I ahd 3 ultrasounds (5, 9, 12 weeks) in my
first tri cause of 2 previous
miscarriages. Then after I had 2 more
(ultrasounds at 19 weeks and 32 weeks) to
make sure he was devlopping properly.
You've made it to the 2nd tri so, so far
so good. See if they'll give you another
u/s if it'll make you feel better.

Im pretty sure that i'll still be
terrified though, cause the baby died a
week after I had my first ultrasound last
time.
And my pregnancy is considered high risk
even if the baby didn't die last time
which annoys the crap out of me cause I
only have one kidney that works half of
what it should.
And the clinic haven't given me an
appointment til i'm 16 weeks, in another 3
weeks so it looks like my first ultrasound
will be the 18th week or so.

That all depends because women aren't
supposed to show until their 4th-5th
month. Your tummy and intestines may be
pushing upwards to make room for expanding
uterus, but your baby is still about the
size of a lady bug at 13 weeks or so.
You need to get an ultrasound done or find
a doppler to use to determine if the baby
is alive.

I've actually read that at 13 weeks, your
uterus is the size of a grapefruit and the
baby is the length of you're fist.
I read this on good old ivillage!!!!!!
