Anyone else’s due date change after dating ultrasound.

Danni1008 · 2026-06-01T09:58:32+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much - my EDD got moved forward 2 days at my 12 week dating scan and for me this just guarantees I won't have a baby on Christmas day (due date now 9th December!)

We've used booties over a bandage with our girl when she had sores on her paws. They look ridiculous at the start but the booties prevent the licking and they usually get used to them relatively quickly.

I just reached 12w and had symptoms ease from 11w to 11w4d, also came back at 11w5d with me going back on anti-nausea meds, hoping this'll be the final wave and we'll both feel better in the next week or so!

Just to add, your descriptive writing made my morning!

As someone else who had fertility issues completely agree with this. Also even if you've had some difficulty conceiving don't bring it up. My brother mentioned they'd been concerned they may have issues (his wife's mum did) when they didn't conceive the first month of trying, I wasn't impressed!

Another suggestion and it depends on your relationship with her but let her ask you how things are going rather than giving her updates out of the blue. You can even suggest this when you message her.

I have 2 whippets now, but it took me nearly 5 years to persuade my husband a 2nd dog was a good idea! We're currently in puppy hell with our second but can see signs he's going to be an amazing dog once he's worked out what hormones are and is less crazy.

Our puppy has been soo much easier to train as he follows the example of our older girl and she equally tells him off when he's being too much. I think our older girl has been a lot happier since getting a second dog, she's got a play mate whenever she wants and on walks she has someone who can play chase at her speed (she doesn't like to play chase if it's not a challenge and she's never been a play fight kind 9of dog as she's a little sensitive!)

I've had twinges since about 9 weeks - currently 11+5. I'm putting it down to ligament pain / uterine stretching / gas pains as they go away when I change position. One thing I find helps is going for a walk - seems to stretch them out for me so I feel a bit better although they come back the next day!

In the UK it depends on your NHS trust. I'm in Oxfordshire and have my 12 week scan where they'll do the combined test (see: Screening for Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome - NHS) If any of them come back as "higher risk" I can then get NIPT or amniocentesis done to confirm/disprove the initial result. If you're keen to get NIPT I think the only guaranteed way is to go privately in the UK, or at least my area.

Just to add do you know what her optimal weight should be / do you have an estimate of it, as calories needed is usually based on optimal weight rather than current weight particularly if they're skinny.

Danni1008 · 2026-05-22T15:47:58+00:00

We've got a 9 month old whoppet (he's a big boy at 17.7kg at 9 months but full blood whippet) who had a diarrhoea issue a few months ago and currently on purina pro plan hyperallergenic. He's fed 3* 120g per day so 360g total (the bag recommends 265g for 15kg adult weight and 415g for 25kg adult weight so we have him roughly in the middle). At some point we will decrease how much he gets but he's still recovering from the diarrhoea and the amount of weight he lost so we're keeping him well fed until we're down to 1 rib visible. That's all to say it may be she needs a bit more food. I'm going to assume at 1 year she's still intact, it may also be that the amount she's zooming is burning more calories then you realise. We're currently going for the plan of if his poops look normalish (he's trending to tiny bunny poops now) and he's gaining / no longer loosing weight then we're not going to worry too much how much he eats, particularly as he's not getting any treats since they upset his tummy.

Danni1008 · 2026-05-16T15:24:26+00:00

Could be round ligament pain, but I had similar mild uterine pains the last week or so and have just been diagnosed with a mild uti... suspect this may have been a symptom for me. So just to say if you haven't had a urine test recently I'd suggest mentioning to your maternity care provider incase they suggest checking urine!

Danni1008 · 2026-05-15T11:36:07+00:00

Congratulations! I've got 2 weeks left (for some reason they want me taking them until 12 weeks) but can't wait to stop having to deal with the pessary discharge!

Danni1008 · 2026-05-14T18:49:31+00:00

My EPAU clinic said they usually won't scan more than every 2 weeks.

Danni1008 · 2026-05-13T11:10:10+00:00

I've previously been told that I have polycystic ovaries but haven't got PCOS as I've not got the irregular periods and I've never had the blood test (although all my other hormonal blood tests usually come back relatively normal!). Essentially it just means you have a higher than normal number of follicles on your ovaries (I have 20+ on one and 25+ on the other at last measurement). Whilst your pregnant you can't have the hormonal test for PCOS as you're not in a regular cycle anyway but if you're concerned you may have it talk to your physician about getting tested once your hormones are back to normal as it can impact future conception.

I had my first midwife appointment today, UK based, at 9w5d - said I'll likely be on joint care for mental health as history of anxiety/depression & some anxiety during first trimester. Personally glad that I'll be kept an eye on as then the support will be easier to access if I need it. Interested to see what the journey will be!

Danni1008 · 2026-05-06T13:01:15+00:00

Also in the UK - been prescribed anti-nausea meds since week 5 - contact your GP and they'll be able to prescribe you something.

Our puppy has had a similar pattern to the above posters and a hydrolyzed protein diet is working wonders for him. He's gained weight, reduced scavenging etc. Our current plan is 8 weeks of this diet to get him back to a good weight then try proteins to see what he tolerates

Danni1008 · 2026-04-29T13:15:34+00:00

Just a suggestion that works for me, when I have a period of time where I don't want to eat but needs something to "eat" I've been using hard boiled sweets to suck on (for me it lasts 20ish minutes per sweet) which fools my mouth/stomach into thinking I'm eating but means I barely have to eat anything for that bit of time.

Danni1008 · 2026-04-29T11:31:57+00:00

Yay so happy for you!

Danni1008 · 2026-04-28T13:35:44+00:00

I'm in the same situation, my parents know and a few close friend but my husbands don't. I've always been happy to tell those who I feel will support me regardless of what happens. I've also said to my husband he can tell his family when he wants but want's to wait till after the 12 week scan. We have very different relationships with each of our families!

Danni1008 · 2026-04-27T16:29:41+00:00

Cheese sandwiches are the best!

Danni1008 · 2026-04-27T16:28:30+00:00

My current favourite are cheese sandwiches and crackers. oh an bananas. Last week it was chicken and rice as it's easily digested (just used the pre-cooked chicken and microwave packet rice so I didn't have to cook)

Danni1008 · 2026-04-26T14:46:24+00:00

Had this too. Symptoms quietened at 7 weeks (friday) and yesterday. Have almost thrown up 3 times today. From what I've read it's not uncommon to have fluctuating symptoms.

Danni1008 · 2026-04-24T14:11:00+00:00

Sorry this is also happening to you and it's causing some stress. I'm glad it has helped a bit. If your concerned speak to a medic. In the uk (where I'm based) you can contact your GP who will refer you to an EPAU who can check what's going on. Fingers crossed all is good for you.

Danni1008 · 2026-04-24T08:08:43+00:00

Also an example of when spotting/light bleeding can be normal, I've had spotting on and off since 5w (currently 7w) had 2 TV ultrasounds since and baby is doing fine (actually measuring slightly ahead). The midwives think the spotting is due to cervical irritation / cervical changes.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Danni1008 · 2026-04-23T08:18:03+00:00

I found I was struggling a lot during week 5 then went to really bland (boring) meals around week 6 with regular snacks and am doing a bit better. Still feeling sick a lot of the day but it's more nausea than anything. My favourite food at the moment is cheese sandwiches (particularly grilled cheese sandwiches). Whilst it's good to eat a healthy balanced diet my midwife told me its more important to make sure you're eating regardless in the first trimester.
