Measuring a few days behind

[Samb87]

Been for a scan today. We are 6 weeks 5 days but baby is measuring at 6 weeks 2 days. Nurse didn’t seem bothered. Is this okay?

It’s fine. Mine was a few days out. At your 12 week scan it will probably change again x

Hi, I had a scan at 6 weeks and one at 7, and the dates didn't work out. The sonographer says different equipment can make a difference, and even less than 1mm in measurement can make a difference by a few days, she told me to ignore the dates and focus in health if that helps

I wouldn't worry. It all depends on your cycle. I ovulate really late, something like day 21 usually. So when I went for my 7 and a half week scan, I measured 6 weeks 4 days. I guess most women ovulate around day 14 on average, so I'm a week later than most! I had my second scan 2 weeks after and measured 8 weeks 4 days. Strong heartbeat and growing normally. You probably just ovulated a bit later than 'average' x

Hi Samba don't worry much it can happen some time you are not massive behind so don't worry enjoy your pregnancy and relax 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I went at 6+1 but measured 6+5 then my next scan I went at 10+2 they dated me at 10+3 then my 12w at 13w exactly measured 13+1 I’ve jumped nearly a whole week which is very strange as my cycles are short which means going off lmp & ovulation I would have ovu as my period ended but I feel ovulation I get cramps so I know when I ovulated. But they said it’s fine only concern if it’s weeks different (behind I guess)

When I had a pregnancy that didn't work out, it was measuring almost a full week behind at 7 weeks - three days isn't a big problem, the measurements are so small at that stage anyway that it's only a tiny bit out and will hopefully catch up by next time xx
