i went ta see my gynae yesterday coz according to last menstrual period, bb should be 6 weeks 2 days.. but the scan yesterday showed only 5 weeks 3 days according to the size of the gestation sac... any one had the same? ie... bb is younger then expected?
i'm just worried if it's coz bb is not growing as well as it should be.. or are there other reasons...

Re: travelling
I travelled at 13th wk for my 1st pregnancy. Only went for gynae check before that and gynae said everything's ok to travel, didn't have any letter.
Actually don't need letter from gynae if early in pregnancy. The airline people won't be able to tell anyway. The letter is only for later stage (2nd tri when you look preggie) whereby airline staffs are worried that you might deliver on flight. Then you will need to produce the letter which your gynae will indicates that you won't go into labour anytime soon.

Hi Mommies! This thread is BOOMING!
I just found out about my pregnancy last week and it was a roller coaster ride. A 3rd pregnancy, unplanned and uncertain as I went thru some medical procedure for my prolapsed disc.
WIth x rays and a procedure done without knowing about myself being preg. Was worried abt the risks I exposed this fetus to.
Luckily my specialist and my obgyn worked together on my case and discussed and finally advised that this bb is safe to keep!
Hoping to make some friends here too!

@Jo, How is ur pain at thw womb side?
PLease do see a agynae to cfm that its not an ectopic preg.
I once had a sharp pain in my tummy area till I woke up in the middle of the night. I called the gynae and he advised me to go down to his clinic immediately for a blood test.
to have a peace of mind, pls do call or go down to ur gynae

I've been reading this thread for a while and first time leaving a message.
Find it so hard to get through work nowadays, especially after lunch. MS + energy level drop = hard to concentrate on work. It's a busy time at work somemore... feeling really dreadful & stresed.

visited gynae and finally saw the beanie... but beanie shows slow hb with the 'bottom' U/S. a little worrying coz it's not beating fast & strong enough. Calculated to be 7wks but based on the development, beanie is only 6 wks.
just pray bb is staying stronger each day. next scan is 4 weeks later

BB, yes based on LMP. but understand it could be a late ovulation. At first, doc used the normal u/s but no flickering detected. then changed to the other scope & finally see slow flickering.
He said 2 possibilities 1) baby just started engine so it's slow and should grow stronger each day; 2) the engine is slowing to a stop.
So need to wait till next appmt.

<font color="000080">Mrs Chris >> When I saw the flickering dot via v-scan, I kept pestering the gynae to tell me if it's normal speed but he said don't think so much and didn't answer me :S I read online that for hb the v-scan not as accurate as tummy-scan. Going back for another appointment on Saturday... by then will be 7w4d. Hopefully can see thru tummy scan liao.</font>

tethysea, really? v-scan not as accurate? but normal u/s can't even spot the flickering.
but my ms not as strong, only bloated-ness, dizzy & feel like sthg stuck at my throat & slight cramps on-off. in fact hoping it will turn out to be stronger, at least a signal to tell me bb is healthy & growing.

<font color="000080">Using v-scan can see better, but cannot hear the hb. Using visual quite hard to judge the heart-rate accurately. By the time can use tummy-scan, the fetus is also bigger, so a hb present in a more developed fetus means more stable than a hb in an early fetus.
