I saw my OB this am. He said my minimal symptoms are normal as many of you mentioned. I didn't gain any weight in the last 2 wks, so that is good. My bloodwork was all normal. He offered an u/s and I accepted.

The heart rate was 180 today and I was happy about that. The CRL measured 18 mm, which is 8 wks, 3 days. (According to my LMP, I am 8 wks, 4 days today. According to ovulation date, I am 8 wks 6 days.) The measurement sounds normal. However, at my last u/s 15 days ago, the CRL was 8.83 mm, and I was told that the baby measured 7 weeks. So, I expected to measure 9 weeks, 1 day today. Needless to say, I am worried about this growth.

I wish I could grasp onto the good news and not worry so much!

I hope everyone has great appointments this week.

It sound like jr is the size he/she is supposed to be. The hb is good as well. I know it is hard, but try to enjoy those things. Good Luck

Jen,
Congrats, it sounds like your baby is doing great! I know it can be so hard not to worry. I do that same thing, so what can I say? Just remember what a fast little heart that baby has already! I think it's fairly common to measure a little off in the beginning, so I don't think it's anything to worry about. Hang in there!

Sounds like you're right one, Jen! It's so hard not to analyze everything, but remember early on, the fetus can measure up to a week off, so you're totally within range for this time. Hope that helps you not to worry.

Hugs to you!!
