Finally got a rough date.
Well after the uncertainty of the past 2 weeks I have now had a dating scan giving me a rough date. Everything was perfect with little one watching it dancing around and waving. However it was being a little pickle and didn't want to be measured. So curled up in a ball. With that and them discovering that my womb is severely tilted meant it was very difficult. So their rough measurements gave a date of 17 th June making me 11+5 but they did say that I was probably further than that. I am having my unchallenged scan sometime within the next 2 weeks so they might be able to get a better picture next time. I am induced 2 weeks early anyway so will be towards beginning of june no matter what. My dh is so relieved there is only 1 as we already have 3 children and this was a shock surprise anyway. Hope everyone else who has had a scan has had a good one. Am now looking forward to feeling better.

That is brilliant news, so glad all is well. What does having a tilted womb mean, will you need a c-section or can you still have v birth? Apologies for the dim question xx
True! Backache is a pain in the butt though, have you tried a birth ball, my friend swears by hers, she has had quite debiitating backache through out her pregnancy x
I would definitely recommend a ball for anyone who wants relief from any aches or pains. And for helping get into labour later on
The only problem I had was getting my OH to stop bouncing on it, think he thought it was a space hopper!
Look forward to relaxing on it again when I get it down from roof as it is only remaining item that I didn't get rid of!
I totally agree about the birthing ball, I used it all the way through my first pregnancy and all through labour as I went through labour mostly at home and it really helped with the pain and get the baby in the right position for birth.x
Had my second scan today. They have moved me forward a day as it was still difficult to gauge. Everything was fine. And booked in for my 20week scan on the 24th january when my dh will finally get to come to a scan. At least now I have a final date to look forward to. I know that will be the last day I have it as I am usually induced up to 2 weeks early. But still within June !
Hope everyone else's scans are going well.
