Hi all,

The doc had a feel and is sending me for an urgent scan he said sometimes people dont know there pregs till further along in pregnancy he has written on scan form, '9/40? pregs, abdo swelling, no fundal edge but ? 36/40?'
What are your thoughts could i really of been pregs without knowing? xx

What was your build prior to pregnancy?

MaybeAMayBaby · 17/12/2012 21:52

OMG! Does he think you're 36 weeks?! Or am I misunderstanding? Your bump photo is bigger than mine at 18 weeks Confused.

Has your stomach gone like that recently or has it been growing for a while?

HayleBoppingAroundTheXmasTree · 17/12/2012 21:56

To be honest you look bigger than I did when I went into labour!

Good luck for your scan. Keep us updated.

DinosaursOnAnAdventCalender · 17/12/2012 22:00

I'm almost 34 weeks and you look slightly bigger than me. Maybe it's sextuplets Grin

hanzz89 · 17/12/2012 22:06

Sextuplets :-S and im guessing he thinks i could be 36 weeks he did have a good feel of my stomach and that and said it wouldnt be the first time its happend to someone.
if ithink back its been getting bigger gradually at first when i first found out i was preg (very end of oct) i just put it down to gas but thinking now it may not of been :-/ i did say to doc could it just be where organs are being pushed up and he said no it wasnt that, alos last couple of days i have felt what feels like kicking when i mentioned this to doc he wasnt surprised at all x

I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 36 weeks so it is possible, it isn't that rare apparently.

Good luuck

ItLooksLikeRainDear · 17/12/2012 22:21

OMG! Either there are lots of babies in there or you are much further along... It could be a Christmas baby.

Good luck with the scan tomorrow!!!

A friend of a friend has just been told that she is 37 weeks. She had NO IDEA she was pregnant! Shock These things do happen!

NoTeaForMe · 18/12/2012 07:44

Have you had your scan? What did they say?

TotallyEggFlipped · 18/12/2012 07:47

Have you had your scan? Hope everything's ok.

looneytune · 18/12/2012 12:43

Just wondered if you'd had a scan yet and if so, how it went?

slippyshoes · 18/12/2012 13:07

Sometimes you can get very big, very quickly. Happened to me with both of mine, hardly showing at 8 weeks, suddenly at 12 weeks looked like was 6 months pregnant with belly button popped out etc, at 20 weeks measuring bigger than full term (couldn't reach keyboard at work, driving car difficult as couldn't get close enough to the steering wheel etc). With first pregnancy had additional tests and scans to check dates, baby size, fluid levels etc but all normal, just measured very big externally. Baby perfectly normal size when eventually came out, at term. I'm short and slim so I guess there was just nowhere else for the bump to go than forward!

Not to say that you won't be further on than you think, happened to my friend who only found out she was pregnant when she went to hospital with stomach pain and they told her she was about to give birth!

hanzz89 · 18/12/2012 13:41

Hi all no scan yet going to book it after work today :-) xx

Wow!

Ive known people be much further along than they first thought.

Can't wait to hear about the results of the scan.

Good luck Smile

ItLooksLikeRainDear · 18/12/2012 21:48

Hope you managed to get your scan booked.

MsElleTow · 18/12/2012 22:03

Blimey I wasn't that big at term with either of mine!

backwardpossom · 18/12/2012 22:45

Wow! You're bigger than me at 28 weeks!

Marking place because I'm a nosy cow to see the outcome! x

StrawberryMonkey · 18/12/2012 22:50

When is your scan? Hope all is well. Good luck!

1978andallthat · 18/12/2012 23:44

Also marking place as nosy Grin

Greenoes · 18/12/2012 23:58

Good luck with your scan! (Shameless place marking)

bugoven · 19/12/2012 00:45

In a way I really hope to find myself in an advanced pregnancy one day. It would save me the TTC stress and first trimester anxiety. Good luck Smile

Jollyb · 19/12/2012 00:48

Can't get the photo up - any tips anyone?
