Congrats and good luck. Hope you are feeling better soon!. At my first doc. An symptoms can start like asap the pee thing i feel ya im 38 wks now an it only gets worse good luck. The doctors really do the best they can with the ultra sounds and also the info about your last period, but it is always possible that they can be a little off.

You could possibly be a few wks ahead or maybe a few wks behind, but it's just a good estimate that's it. I doubt they are too far off, but it's possible to be a few wks off depending on the size of your baby.

Lots of ladies on here talk about implantation bleeding when they fall pregnant never experienced it personally so I don't know much about it though.

I have also heard of people who have experienced bleeding like af while still being pregnant. I had af like bleeding for two weeks after finding out I was pregnant scared me silly until we found out the cause since I already knew I was pregnant. In my case the bleeding was caused by a haemotoma small collection of blood that had formed when Kermit implanted and I was just gradually losing that blood over time.

It wasn't a problem with the pregnancy and Kermit is going well. I think the best way and probably the way that will put your mind at ease is to ask your gp for a referal for a scan that way you'll know pretty definately how far along you really are.
