Pregnancy Concerns

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I have been on. I'm now 34 weeks pregnant and have been having a few problems that I hope you guys might be able to help me out with. Firstly I had to go for a scan yesterday coz the doctor said that my uterus was undersized. The sonographer handed me a piece of paper to give to my doctor explaing the scan and on it it said 22 weeks, I'm hoping he made an error and it's meant to say 32. but I won't find out til next week. My question is has anyone else had a smaller than normal uterus without any dramas? Also I have been getting really bad crampy pains in my lower stomach and around my hips and lower back. I'm not sure if they mean anything but they really hurt like hell. I was up til 4am this morning coz I couldn't sleep through it. so if anyone has any ideas on what it might be from that would be great. Thanks in advance everyone.

Re: Pregnancy Concerns
Hi
Sorry you are feeling bad. I had the same problems. First of all I did not know I was pregnant because I was not showing and came to find out my uterus was small and did not want to expand. This was with my 4th baby and I had just had a baby got pregnant 6 weeks later. I had the same pain in my lower back and hips its called your syatic nerve (not sure of the spelling). They say that should go away once you have the baby it just got pinched by the baby. If you have any other questions I am more than happy to try and help
Good luck
Katie xoxo

Ultrasound scans aren't accurate, but they are usually not off by that much. They may be off by a few days to a week or so.

Re: Pregnancy Concerns
I wasn't told anything about the uterus, but was told the foetus was undersized.  DD was born at 36 weeks, I was told that the foetus is the size of a 29 week foetus and would have to be born that weekend, and would only be around the 4 pound mark, or under but would have to be born as my health was failing, so the baby wasn't growing. The following day she was born a day before the  c-section was meant to happen (natural birth so i got lucky) and was 7lb 8oz with no dramas at all.  That's not to say you won't have problems, you will have to keep a good eye on things and keep up contact with the doctor, but that's my story and it worked out fine.  Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy, and just know that if bub comes early from this point on, medical science is very good with dealing with premmies.
