how do you know which lmp to count???
| Fri, 07-30-2004 - 12:21pm |
My last period started on may 27th but it was lighter than my average period. When the nurse asked when my lmp was I told her may 27th but am now starting to wonder if maybe it was actually april 27th. I have heard that you can sometimes have a light period in the early months of pregnanacy. What do you think. Any information would be appreciated. do you think that I should bring this up with my doctor or just keep my may 27th date I gave to her?
Also, what made me start to think of this is my waistline is expanding more than expected. I am suppose to be 9 weeks as of yesterday but already I am having trouble buttoning my pants. should this be happening already? it is my first pregnancy.
Thanks for the help.

Yea, bloat. I don't think I was really gaining weight then, but there does seem to be a lot of bloating all through pg. I believe this is necessary to slowly stretch you belly out -- sort of like a balloon, before blowing it up you give it a few good tugs.
As for the LMP, I believe you told them the right time. Did you have an 8w appt? Did they give you your pelvic? If so & the MW felt you were further along she would have said something or scheduled an u/s. If you haven't had your 1st appt yet, then go ahead & tell them you had a lighter than usual LMP.
CONGRATS!
