Brief Answer:
Send ultrasound scan report

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I understand your concerns.

If your pregnancy is in advanced stage, this method may not work. Please let me know when was the last menstrual period.

Also attach an ultrasound scan copy so that I can assess the period of gestation and advice further.

Regards
