my 1st u/s was today

Hello buddies,

I got my ultrasound this morning.

Today was the most wonderful day--to find out my babys ok.

Wow--thanks for listening

,

Can I just ask if you delivered vaginally? Or did you have a c-section?

Sorry. Am just curious.

Jaunita,

It has been many long years since I had my OB rotation in nursing

school, and my primary nursing experience is in ER not OB, but with

that said, I believe that the ultrasound measurements are used as

guidelines to track your baby's growth. The measurements do NOT

change your due date. The earlier the ultrasound is in your

pregnancy, the more accurate it is in calculating and verifying your

due dates. Many babies grow at different rates, and larger babies

will measure at a sooner due date, but that doesn't actually mean

your due date changes. I hope this makes sense. Your ovulation

calculations should not change based on your babies measurements.

However, if he is measuring larger than his actual dates, he might

be more developed and able to be born sooner than your estimated due

date. Remember...it is just an estimate. The little guy will come

when he decides he is ready, unless you plan to induce or have a C-

section that is.

I just mention this, because with my first child we had several

ultrasounds, and my babies due dates kept " changing " per the

ultrasound tech due to his " measurements, " and the doctor explained

all this to me at that time and said my due dates didn't actually

change because of his ultrasound measurements. Hope I didn't

confuse you!

Congratulations on a great ultrasound report!
