Ha oyster your comments make me laugh! It's all glam here! Glamour and constipation. Lush

brooke pretty much what b&w said a difference of a few days at that point is nothing. They are measuring something really small through your abdominal wall and a difference of a fraction of a mm would change the date the scan comes out with. I had a scan on what (by lmp) would be 11+4 and the measurement was 12+2.

I had a completely hormonal hissy fit last night. It stunned DH so much he went and sat in the car with the air con on for 5 minutes! He'd been painting the outside of the house all day yesterday, caused some mess and dust in the house. I insisted on helping him clean the house from top to bottom last night to help him out, even though he told me to just have a shower and chill out, stubborn old me wouldn't listen.

We were both finished by about 8:30, ordered some dinner, by which time I had gone past it. All he said was, "I told you to order it at 6 and I would re heat mine when I've finished". That turned me into a snivelling wreck, can't even remember what actually upset me now! We did laugh afterwards!

As for clothes, I'm living in leggings and dresses. Lots of floaty cool fabrics.

I'm going to London for a couple of days for mums birthday at the end of July, kinda dreading the heat and the tube if it's warm like yesterday. Can't even make pit stops in pubs, well we can, but it's not as much fun when you're not drinking!

Oyster you just have to take a peep at this thread

So, go by 12w scan results, and if they change the date then? Just got to try and not stress until then, daily cramps aren't helping :(

The heat has caused my Foxes Crunch Cream biscuits to separate themselves, thus ridding me of that small pleasure. I am more upset than I should be.

Edgar that sounds like an emergency that only ice cream an enormous magnum can solve

Brooke, that's what I would do. Try not to stress. Cramps are normal in pregnancy btw, your body has to do a lot of internal expansion and reorganisation to accommodate the baby (well at this stage it's mostly the balloon of the uterus).

I measured a week behind my dates with DD1 at 12 weeks. I knew when I'd ovulated, she was just little for dates. Cramps are very very normal. Even serious stretchy painful ones! Try not to worry.

blackcat that thread is brilliant!

poe I'm upset on your behalf.

Just had to sign for an unexpected delivery, boobs a-sunder. Nearly had the poor fella's eye out, but today is just not a bra day.

That's interesting coffee. So did you not change dates? Thhey told me to and said it's unlikely bean is just measuring small. But more likely I implanted a while after ovulation. Guess I'll no more after scan tomorrow

Love that thread

made me howl with laughter when I found it yesterday, even though every giggle made my tummy hurt!

loveulots it's due to 'cool down' to mid twenties down here in next couple of weeks if that helps!

Anyone else finding water has a really rank taste to it???

Also.... Absolutely no idea when I OV'd so going purely on LMP which was 9/4/15 so 12wk today could be buggered by next weeks scan lol!

Hoping we hear some good news from Liliana soon. Was her scan at 11?

yes I was hoping too impatient

fisherman no-one mentioned changing my EDD ... this was 6 years ago, maybe things have changed. However, this time around (different country and system granted), baby measured 4 days ahead and the sonographer just said don't worry about it, baby will come when he comes. She took a note of it for my doctor but that was about it.

V likely I did implant late or similar though with DD1 - she was 15 days over in the end and only 7 pounds 3, which is on the small side for a baby more than 2 weeks overdue!

I'm not saying this to frighten anybody, the only thing that I worry about regards to not getting dates correct, was with dd, I knew when I had conceived her, and they allowed me to go 2 weeks over before inducing me, but by my dates I was 16 days late and she'd pooed inside at this point and was then quite poorly :( I don't want to relive that again.

I too hope Lilliana is OK, such a worrying time isn't it.

How are things with you miss?
