Ultrasound Scans

Blue 6 years ago Hi Ashleigh, my best friend is pregnant and while mine follow a normal pattern, hers alter the date each time. We were due on the same day and, while my date is the same, now she is predicted to have her baby two weeks earlier! They are dating the baby to predict the due date, rather than the other way round. They do this by fetus size measurements. Each baby and mother is unique, growing at different rates to achieve different sizes, so it is just a guess for the due date and nothing to worry about.

In moderate doses caffeine has mainly positive effects for most people. But it increases production of cortisol, which can lead to health problems including anxiety, weight gain and heart disease.

I had one at 38weeks and still a little apprehensive until I got the ok then too. We paid for scan in between the standard ones as after this dating on you have 20 weeks and then nothing at all until the end unless there are issues which no one would want It’s all a set up for motherhood – third trimester you barely sleep and I imagine, as I’m due in 5 days, that we will worry about our kids forever. Keep yourself occcupied with work or something else I’m sure tomorrow will go great and you will wonder what you were worried about x 1 like Linda78 a year ago Totally normal to insanely worry!

Am now 26 weeks and still worry on an hourly basis – the dating scan is pretty thorough though and will let you know what is going on so try to relax just a tiny bit and enjoy it as I feel that I’ve missed out on any real excitement so far due to anxiety! Wishing you all the best for tomorrow x 2 likes emmab a year ago I don’t think the anxiety ever leaves. I got excited about the 20 week scan and then two days before the ‘what if’ set in.
