1 or 2 --- or just further ahead

[waitn838]

ugh...hey ladies....

so last week i switched doctors and i really like my new doctor...well when she was checking the size of my uterus she said that it def wasnt an 8 week uterus and she was sure i was further along or there was a possibility of more than 1 that was making my uterus so much bigger than should have been

so my belly is already popping...my hcg levels were pretty high...at 4 weeks exactly (supposadely) they were 303 and at 4 weeks 2 days they were 689...

so im wondering do you think its possible im having more than 1? or is it more common to just be further ahead...i know for sure my LMP date so im not sure what is going on

tomorrow i go in for my first real u/s and ill have my answer but i cant help but let my mind wander off today....

they moved me up from what my old doctor had by about 3 days...but if the growth continues like this then at my 18 week u/s they will adjust my due date...i believe my dd is still 8/24....but ill wait til i see the doc at my 12 week visit

So did they say you're further ahead than schedule? What's your new due date?

[waitn838]

hey ladies im back with an update

its 1 baby and the tech a very large baby LOL...i try to get a pic posted soon...i also got to hear the lil heart and the heart rate was 175....im still in shock but very thankful for a healthy pregnancy

I measured two weeks larger with my last baby but it didn't really mean anything. HCG doubles every 24-72 hours, so your numbers look fine. Sounds like it could be either, but mostly likely that you're further ahead.

If you've had another child before, it may just be that your uterus is growing faster, which is what it was in my case. I had no complications, no gestational diabetes, nothing!

You could have ovulated a lot sooner than you expected, your doc could be off on his "feeling" test.  As for drinking a lot of water...you're actually drinking just about the recommended amount.  I was at the health dept today and they said that you should consume an average of 64 oz per day so I don't think you're drinking too much.  Atleast you don't have to wait too long, since your u/s is tomorrow.  Keep us posted.

i will def be sure to post tomorrow after my u/s....im trying to not to get excited as its still like a dream to me even being preg but tomorrow will be my reality

plus hopefully ill get a heartrate so i should have some inclination of what im having...my son was consistantly in the 130s so anything over and im pretty sure its a girl

im riduculous...i know

thanks ladies for the feedback

My LMP was 9/9 but my Dr says based on the U/S, I am due June 9. Which puts it off by 5 days I believe. Based on my LMP the due date should be June 15. I'm going with the June 9 date, plus he said he will probably induce me since my last was 9lbs 130z and got stuck in delivery. You'll have better results tomorrow after your U/S. Good luck and keep us posted.

maybe extra fluid...i drink a ton of water everyday...its the only thing i can drink and i want lots of it...LOL

i think i figured out today i drink 60 oz of water a day...i think thats enough

[SliverCheer]

i don't know anything about HCG because my doc never told me the numbers but when i was pregnant I was measuring ahead of time, then again i wasn't positive on my LMP date.  so maybe multiples!!  But it also could be extra fluid maybe

[waitn838]

is there any other reason my uterus would be larger...my doc is saying im about 2 weeks ahead of where i should be by my LMP

According to the chart I found your HCG is within the normal range for 4 weeks but if your uterus is larger there is a good possibility of multiples.  But it doesn't gaurantee it.  The only way to know for certain is to wait for that u/s.  Let us know how it goes!!!!
