Name: firstpregnancy

Today, I went for my ultra sound just to check why I was spotting (occasionally). I was under the impression that I was 16 weeks pregnant (my LMP is Dec. 19th) but after the scan the doctor said that I am actually only 15 weeks pregnant. The EDD has moved from Spet. 26th to Oct. 5th. SHe also said the reason why I was spotting could be that my placenta was lying low earlier but now it is going back to the right position. Can the placenta go back to the wrong place again...Please advice.
Otherwise, the baby is fine. Archie, the doctor told me that if I had the AFP test done, I might have come postive for Downs syndrome bec. they thougth I was 16 weeks pregnant when it is only 15 weeks..
Under your advice, my husband and I have avoided intercourse..but we do go for long walks. A few days back, we went shopping..spent a lot of time walking...the next day, I had another drop of blood. But with the u/s result, I am quite relieved...
The doctor gave me pictures of the U/S. I could see the baby's face. Its eyes were bigger than any other feature on its face. Is this normal?
Archi, I know I am asking a lot of silly questions. But being my first time (with the pregnancy), I am just scared about everything..I am just so grateful to you for taking the time to answer questions no matter how silly they may be. Thank you.
