Wondering what to expect?

Question

This may sound weird, but I knew I was pregnant since late november/early dec. Even though I had a positive pregnancy test at home, the one at the Dr.'s in Jan. was negative. Yesterday, I went to a different Dr. who decided instead of taking tests she would use a doppler and sure enough there was a heartbeat of 160. Judging by my last period, they put me right at 19 weeks. Meaning I'm almost five months and didn't even know this whole time! What I'm wondering is what to expect at the 20 week scan, and is there anyway that the Dr. was wrong and and I'm not that far along? Even though I look it. LOL.

Answer 1

on your ultra sound they will measure the baby to get an accurate age.; than youll be able to see teh sex if you are over 16 weeks. they can tell if soemthing ovbious is wrong too. good luck. you really are going to have a fast pregnancy lol

Answer 2

Going by your last period can be inaccurate since some women bleed early in pregnancy. A scan will be more accurate so don't be surprised if they adjust your dates a little. If you haven't had your medical history done, they will do it next visit. They will also go over any testing that they recommend and schedule that. If you are at 19 weeks, you are half way there. Good Luck.
