How many weeks pregnant am I?

So confused with my due date! I found out I was pregnant on 2nd nov, my LMP was on 25th September, according to my midwife I am 10 weeks 5 days however went for a private scan last night which said I’m 8 weeks 5 days - I’m so confused as this will make me 11 weeks at my 12 week scan! Should I say anything to my midwife or leave as is? Thank you in advance x

I wouldn't worry, at your 12 week scan they'll update your EDD to what you measure then and that's what they'll use for the remainder of your pregnancy, my DD was moved on by a few days when I went, LMP made my due date 7th September, scan said 11th and baby was induced on the 3rd. They can do your 12 week scan anytime from 10 to 14 weeks, so you'll fall between those dates easily. You could always let the sonographer at your 12 week scan know you've had different dates at your private scan and see what they say, you may have just ovulated later than you in your cycle. Congratulations on your pregnancy x

Go by what they tell you at the scan which is usually more accurate. My midwife used her calendar to work my due date out but the scan told Ms something different, although only 1 day out of eachother but baby was overdue and came 4 days later than EDD as I was over due so don't worry too much . Good luck

Thank you! I was 10 weeks 4 days at my NHS scan, going back in January for a more in depth as I was too early for the tests! 12 weeks on 1st of Jan. feels like the longest 12 weeks of my life lol!

Thank you! Yes I was measuring 10 weeks 4 days at my scan but going by my LMP I was 12 weeks 3 days. So need to go back beginning of Jan for a more in depth scan as I was too early! Lots of luck in your pregnancy too! Xx
