Tummy feels bigger than my dates suggest and need a scan
Hello,
Has anyone else heard of this happening?
At 11.5wks my tummy felt like 14wks but the midwife said it was probably down to it being my second pregnancy. At almost 16 weeks she says it feels like 18/19wks and I need an urgent scan as my dates could be wrong and this would skew the results for the double test taken at the same time making the baby appear to be at a higher risk of Downs etc than it really is. She doesn't think it feels like twins.
My blood results will be back next week and supposedly there's a 6wk wait for scans so my 20wk scan appointment will probably come through first. We don't get a 12wk scan here. Not too worried about the double test result as the risk was extremely low last time. Just would like to know if it's happened to anyone else, which I'm sure it has, but I can't help thinking about it.
It would explain why I felt movement at 7wks and my husband at 14wks.
Thanks,
Manfs
