So went to the dr today for my prenatal and because of my cramps I was having early this morning. She’s sending me for an ultra sound I should be 11 weeks on Friday but my uterus is only measuring 9 weeks... I really hope they can get me in soon so I can see if baby is ok..
@beckischerger, ER told me if you bleed or have water fluid then rush in otherwise it’s usually ok so hopefully you’re fine
@foxythecutefox, that’s definitely good to know why does this first trimester have to be so hard 👎🏻
@beckischerger, tbh third can be hard too ;-; heartburn and digestive issues kill but so true I hope you feel better soon and also drinking tons of water can help ease cramps too
My dr doesn’t use measuring tape to measure belly until 3rd trimester I would not worry at all that is actually strange that she would even do that so early
I don’t understand because it should just now be starting to move out of your pelvis.
@beckischerger, I wouldn’t go off this too much. They generally don’t measure fundal height til much later. Like 18-20 weeks. So don’t stress too much about this measurement.
@beckischerger, Try not to stress too much about it. Usually they don’t start measuring your uterus until your around 18 weeks or so. The only way they could measure you and tell you your small is through an ultrasound is early as 11 weeks. I’m sure everything is OK but positive thoughts your way girl.
With her measuring tape.. at 11 weeks it should be to my belly button but it’s not
Mine never measured til 20 weeks. Definitely not accurate this early. Not to worry!! It’s normal to be + or - 2 “weeks” on the measurement and even then it’s really not accurate cause it can depend on a woman’s anatomy, fluid amount, position of baby etc.
I was always a few inches behind try not to worry ! Even my doctors have said it’s common to be a few inches behind :) best of luck
