Ultrasounds are fairly accurate - a fetus at 12 weeks is very small. A 22 week fetus is fairly large. They measure how big bones are, and the distance around the head. There is no mistaking a 12 weeker for a 22 weeker.

I presume you are asking about dates in pregnancy. Nothing is absolutely certain about pregnancy dates, as I hope you doctor explained.

Because it's about 12 days of conception


I Should be 7 weeks but ultrasound says 6 could my due date be off?

It is unlikely that they would be that far off. They're often off by a couple of days or weeks, but not usually 1 1/2 months off. I strongly suggest that you speak to your doctor about it for more information.

36 weeks is 9 months, you are full term. due date could be off by a little but i think you are about ready to go.


8 weeks pregnant went in for ultrasound saw sac but no baby now have to wait for another week for another ultrasound is it normal to be off on the weeks pregnant?

it is called a blighted ovum if your counting of the age of gestation is correct and yet no baby is formed except of the sac. on the otherhand if you are not sure of your counting then do an ultrasound 1-2 weeks after your first ultrasound to see whether the baby develops or not at all. just cant flawlessly explain the blighted ovum. check out on the web or much better ask your physician.


If an ultrasound says you are 25 weeks 4 days pregnant when in fact conceived 25 weeks 2 days what date should be relied on?

My first ultrasound was done at 16 weeks and 2 day and I was woundering if a ultrasound done at that far along was acurrate in deteriming how far along you are or could it be off by like 4 weeks?

I'm assuming you wnat to know this because you are unsure as to who the father is? Please, forgive me if I'm wrong though. Ultrasounds can be inaccurate by a margin of about 2 days. There's no way they could be off by as much as 4 weeks though! Sorry, I hope things work out for you though!
