    Measuring large for dates

    I had my first o.b. appt. today....and after it was all said and done, she told me that I was measuring large for my dates and that we'd do an u/s to confirm dates as well as ruling out a multiple pregnancy. :thud:

    I was able to get an immediate u/s and......



    it's just one little jumping bean. I can not believe how...perfect the baby already looked at just 13 weeks/3 days.....2 arms/2 legs...perfect little head and body....Aidan climbed up on to me while she was trying to do the u/s and he was watching the screen...and the baby put it's hands over it's face like it was playing peek-a-boo with Aidan and I.

    All of my self-doubts just evaporated.....I can't wait to meet this little one.

    The tech needed several extra minutes to measure the heartrate (158) because it was moving, moving, moving, kicking, twisting the entire time...."wow, how much coffee did you drink this morning?" None...I tried not to eat/drink anything since I was being weighed :>

          You had me fooled! I was thinking from the first half of the post you were going to announce a multiple pregnancy!! :thud:

              Great, great news! All you preggos should share as much as possible so that the rest of us can live vicariously through you. Some of the best (and scariest) moments of my life occurred during ultrasounds.

              Enjoy.

                Great news Kris!!!
                I've had 2 US's by now, one showing absolutely nothing and the next one showing a little bean with a beating heart! It's good to know there's something alive in there!
                Are you finding out what you're having???

                  I even asked the tech if it was possible to get a peek now. She basically told me to be patient and wait...any guess before 18 weeks is not accurate. I have a 'feeling'...but...I'll have to wait until Jan 17th to confirm.
