    No, you shouldn't be worried. Do as your doctor tells you and you should be fine.
  • Nov 26, 2007, 01:42 PM
    NowWhat
    When I was 7 weeks along, I started cramping and then spotting. My husband and I were put on "restriction" for the rest of the 1st trimester. It was explained to me like this - everything is swollen down there - more than likely a blood vessel was broken during intercourse. She said that we needed to lubricate a lot when we finally were able to have sex again.

    Hiya I'm shelley when I was about 8weeks pregnant I was getting cramps with spots of blood sometimes a brown colored liquid not very nice I know!
    I was told to have plenty of rest take, take things easy and not have any sexual intercourse until everything had settled and I felt OK also drink plenty of water and a reasonable diet.
    I'm now 30weeks pregnant with my baby boy and he's doing just fine :) xxxx
    Good luck hun all the best try not to worry too much xx

    How far along!
    I was told that I am 8 weeks 5 days but I went for the ultra sound and they said I was still really early! My doctor told me that my due date is July 12 2008!! (LMP was oct 5 ,2007) can someone tell me how far along I might be!! I'm not able to go to another ultra sound for another couple of weeks if someone is due around the time I am!! Please help me if you are due around the time that I am due so that I can estimate how far along I am because this is driving me crazy!

    Please be patient hun, I just got home from class studying for finals when you posted your question. All of us here are either students or mothers and do this on our own free time.

    According to Nagele's Rule, your due date is indeed July 12, 2008. You see to calculate that you take the first day of your last period and subtract 3 months, add 7 days, add one year.

    That would actually put you around 6 weeks as ovulation typically occurs 14 days after the first day of your last period if you have a 28 day cycle.

    Well my baby is due the 1st July I am 10weeks today!!
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:16 PM
    melissa1
    So this would make you 8weeks 3days going from your lmp

    Keep in mind that your due date is just an estimate. The baby will come whenever it is ready, due date or no due date. :)

    This is where we differ. Her LMP was 8 weeks ago tomorrow and pregnancy typically occurs during ovulation which is around 14 days after the LMP (for a 28 day cycle), so she could be around 6 weeks. Very few people actually get pregnant while on their period.

    Yeah I no this my midwife and doctor and everyone else in the uk go by your lmp not when you ovulated that's why pregnancy is 40weeks not 38weeks
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:24 PM
    melissa1
    Her last period was 8weeks 4 days ago
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:28 PM

    Oh, yeah, I see what you are saying, and I agree, but above she said that she was "still really early" so I gave her the possibility of exactly how old the baby may be, or when she actually conceived.
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:30 PM
    melissa1
    If you go onto Google or something and put in pregnancy calendar and put your lmp date in it will come up with how far along you are it says 8weeks 5 days pregnant and 6weeks 5days gestation but here in england your pregnancy would still be said to be at 8weeks 5days today
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:32 PM
    J_9
    I'm not going to argue with you, as a nursing student about to take my neonatal exams, I learned it a little differently.

    All I was saying was when CONCEPTION occurred.
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:35 PM
    melissa1
    I wasn't arguing either if you go back you will see I rated your answer!
    I didn't even mention conception I was going by her lmp and checked on a calendar that's all!!
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:43 PM
    J_9
    Maybe we are just not understanding each other. I just mentioned because she is "really early" that baby may be small and that if using the 14 day rule, conception occurred at or around October 19, which would make the fetus only approx 6 weeks along.

    Please excuse my quick answers, I am answering and studying for finals. LOL... Back to studying.
  • Dec 4, 2007, 05:45 PM

    No probs xx
    Enjoy studying
  • Dec 5, 2007, 06:07 PM
    mustang0529
    Thank you all very much!! Now I understand but what would be my answer to tell people that I am 6 weeks 5 days or 8 weeks 5 days?
  • Dec 5, 2007, 07:52 PM
    mustang0529
    Is there something wrong?
    A lot of you guys already no that I am pregnant!! 2 weeks ago I went to my family doctor took blood test the same old!! And then went for an ultra sound last Thursday but I was early very early!! So my next appointment was suppose to be dec 15 but they had called me yesterday saying that they need me to come in earlier then that all they told me it was about was the ultra sound!! I don't understand what could be the problem there's nothing wrong with me so why would they need to call me in earlier then when they were suppose to c me can anyone help me and give me some idea's on what it might be about I'm nervous that it might be another miscarriage!
  • Dec 5, 2007, 08:16 PM

    I understand how you feel I had the same thing when I was pregnant. I would say that you are 8 weeks and 5 days too. Leti
