Okay, I have two questions and I never remember to ask them anything I plan on asking so hopefully you ladies can help me out.

1. At this point I'm still losing weight. By now I've usually at least gained back a pound or two, but I'm more like losing a pound a week. I'm still trying to figure out what I can and can't eat since my surgery and have a lot of trouble keeping things down. At what point is the weight loss going to be an actual issue and not just something I'm worrying about because I'm worrying about everything?

2. Because of my PCOS when we found out I was pregnant they did an ultrasound to confirm the due date. My LMP based date is August 10, but the u/s put it at August 12th. I was kind of shocked because I usually O closer to CD 20-25, and the date meant it was more like CD 14-16 so I guess your body really does do things better right after you've had a baby. Anyways! I keep forgetting to ask if they actually moved the date based on the u/s since I know they tend to ignore it if the variance is only a day or two. They wanted the u/s scheduled for 19 weeks and put it tomorrow which would be 19 weeks if I go by the first date, 18 weeks 5 days if I go by the second. I'm starting to think they're still considering August 10th my EDD. What do you think?

I'm losing weight for a different reason, because I need to (I am not doing it crazy, I'm doing it a healthy way). I'm not sure you might want to bring that up with your doctor. Especially if you're starting to become concerned with how much you're still losing.

I guess 2 days really doesn't matter. I'd go with whatever date you want. Maybe just wait 2 days before you schedule your scan so you're in 19 weeks either way? My first son's due date was the 31st of Dec by my LMP but the doctor said the 30th of Dec and I figured its 1 day, what does it even matter? He came 5 days after the date they gave me. My other son was switched by 3 days and we stuck with the 2nd date given to me and he came a week after that date haha.

1. Not sure, I would talk to your doctor and see if maybe she can suggest some tips to help you with gaining weight. I can't see that losing weight now would be good for baby.

2. My doctors in the past have always told me they won't change the due date unless it's off by 10 days or more. Honestly 2 days really does not make a difference.

Thanks ladies. I'm going to try to remember to bring up my weight tomorrow if they don't. If it keeps going at this rate I'll be the lightest I've been in 7 years soon which will make me underweight again. As far as the date goes, the more I think about it the more I think they're going by LMP. They're the ones that scheduled the 19 week u/s and wanted it done tomorrow which is 19 weeks going by the first date. The only real reason I'm even worried about it is I know we'll at least end up scheduling an induction as a backup because of my history and to me 2 days on that is pretty huge. If it's going to be that way again I'm fine with that, but I don't want the baby here a day before 39 weeks unless he/she makes that choice.
