5 weeks measuring 7 weeks?
Last week I attended my first OB appt. My doctor doesnt do an u/s on first visit, just a pelvis exam. My periods are regular and like clock work. My cycle the previous month was very accurate, as well as my period itself. When the doc did my pelvic exam he said that my uterus was measuring over 7 weeks. he asked me to come back in 2 wks (rather than 4) for an u/s. Is this something that I should be concerned about? I know some babys are bigger than others, but I have read up on this and it seems that this would only affect the size of baby and uterus in later months, when the baby actually fills the uterus. This is my fifth child and I have never had this happen. What could cause this?

Either you ovulated earlier or the doctor is just estimating. It isn't always possible to tell from a pelvic exam how far you are along in your pregnancy. He may be getting you in earlier as a precaution and even at 7 weeks baby is minute so maybe it is the way your uterus is tilted or bloating that might make the uterus seem bigger. I wouldn't be concerned about it at this stage.
