October 2014 thread 4 - scans, scans scans!!

[bumpbangbump]

New thread ladies. I should really leave it to someone who can link the old one. Can someone add the edd list and whatnot? Or maybe we should start again now edds are changing after scan.

Bumpbangbump dc#2 EDD 2nd October

As far as I understand it ohthegoats (please correct me if I'm wrong Me23 the dating scan is very precise as up until 14/15 weeks ish (don't know exactly) the baby growing process is a very precise one- it's like cell division during the early stages, all babies measure exactly the same in mm depending on their gestational age. LMP is used as a guide prior to dating scan but EDD from LMP should be disregarded once dating scan has been done as women can ovulate and therefore conceive at different points during their cycle. It is different again from conception date a the gestational age is calculated as actual gestational age plus 14 days (as it's then closer to the date of LMP - they expect you to ovulate 14 days after LMP. Pregnancy is estimated as 40 weeks only when those two extra weeks are included) in short, disregard all other dates given (including subsequent changes) other than that of your dating or 12 week scan! You've then narrowed it down to a 5 week period in which you're most likely to give birth!

Lovely to hear all the good news scan reports, I have mine a week on Mon.

Random question, for those who have had water births or being in the pool during labour, foes water go up your bits?

diamond!

Congrats musical, binky and sparkle! Got a good result today for us too! Been put at 13 weeks, so due on 2nd October.

I've missed quite a few posts over the past day or so but one stuck out from loulou about her OH. I've been trying to send my DH an email each week from the mumsnet pregnancy calender so he knows what's going on and the changes and how they could be making me feel. It's not much but he feels involved and I feel like he has some sort of understanding of how bonkers being preggers is making me feel. It's working for us so far anyway

Diamond that really made me chuckle! Does water go up your bits in the bath? It's pretty much the same experience but of course with some contractions thrown in as well.

Hooray, what a fabulous scan day!
Looking forward to mine in the morning!

Due date buddies monkey!! Been so nice letting the cat out of the bag. Everyone is so excited for is.

As for water up your bits... Do love a little chuckle after work! My only problem with the water was the fact that I felt like I was being boiled alive!!! Had the midwife check the temp several times in the hope they'd let me put some cold in... Had to get out in the end as I though my skin was poaching off.

I thought hot water wasn't good for the baby. Or is that because it brings on contractions so not good early on but great for labour?

Yesss bump, due date buddies! DH and I are going out for steak tonight to celebrate being 'out'.

captain trouble I wasn't sure, I thought not but I thought I'd ask the question

[Blush]

We always go by the scan edd for reasons trouble outlined in her post.

Glad all scans have gone well, good luck tomorrow troubleandfyfe

I've felt sick all day after my good day yesterday, also feh heartburn is already making it's presence felt had it with every pregnancy! Ranitidine here I come!

How are you doing bythesea

pebble in labour and especially when birth is imminent the water temp should be 37 degrees this is to ensure the baby doesn't become hypothermic at delivery as this can lead to breathing problems and low blood sugar.

I have a slightly different dates problem the fmc make me 6 days further on than the NHS by scans

Is the avoiding hot water thing a very important rule to obey in pregnancy? Because I'm still having a bath the same temperature as always. I assumed it was just one of those don't do it in case you faint rules.

So glad to hear more good scan news. And I'm sorry the care your receiving has been so shoddy bythesea. I'd be taking myself down to a & e.

I'm still so hungry, just sent DP to tesco to get more crumpets as I've eaten all 6 since yesterday evening.

I'm in the bath now! I have started reducing the temp a bit as normally I'd have it really hot. I read somewhere that if it makes your skin red it's too hot. Warm is apparently fine.

Oh and Me23 thanks, it's great having an expert here. Let us know if you get fed up of working when not working!

Now, that I have absolutely no idea on gun! Hardly a small discrepancy either!

Could someone please remove me from the list. Bad results at prenatal test. Thanks, and good luck everyone with your pregnancies

Good job I'm only planning on having 6 months off.Starting to feel the nausea again now but should be having pizza and salad on my lap within few minutes.

So sorry to hear that Olilos hope you are getting lots of tlc x

So sorry olilos hope you have all the support you need.

Re hot baths in pregnancy it is thought that very hot baths can cause developmental problems in the first 12 weeks as they raise core temp. Also not advised due to risk of fainting and feeling sick.

Also found this link that explains scans and dating a bit www.ultrasoundcare.com.au/services/pregnancy-ultrasound-5-17-weeks-dating-and-viability.html

So sorry olios. I hope you have good support in rl.

Sorry Olios
Me23 that's really interesting and proves me quite wrong - I thought they were much more accurate than 3-5 days! Why 'correct' women's LMP dates if they're potentially that inaccurate?!
