Baby Audrey's First Scan

This is Audrey's first ultrasound scan picture. It was taken on 14th October 2008. when she was about 6 weeks. You cannot see anything resembling a baby yet. Just a sac measuring about 9.7mm.

Doctors usually measure from the date of the last menstruation period as the beginning of the pregnancy, so baby will be born on Week 40. That's like 10 months. It sounds like a long time but how time flies. I am already hitting Week 37 now. Just another 3 more weeks or so. Depending on baby's schedule. :) Hard to say.

Doctor explained that baby could be due anytime between 2 weeks before or latest 5 days after due date. I am very conscious of any movements or pain in my belly now, just trying to figure out if it really is time yet. I am worried that I won't know if it's time yet but that seems like a stupid thing to worry about. I guess I'll know when I know.
