Baby is fine. The Ultrasound is more accurate at estimating your term at 5.5 weeks, since you may not have gotten pregnant just after your period. The estimate of weeks is based on the baby's size and development. Unless the technician stated otherwise, the baby is fine. Actually, predicting the exact date of conception and birth is not an exact science, and can't be, since there are other factors that go into gestation.

A six-week discrepency is pretty severe. If you've missed two periods, you could be less than six weeks pregnant, so perhaps you miscalculated. Talk to your doctor about your concerns.

Had an ultrasound yesterday. LMP was Nov 2 so you should be 7 weeks The ultrasound only showed you being 5 weeks pregnant you are going back next week for another ultrasound Should you be worried?

You have two due dates...one accourding to your last period and one accourding to the size of the child on the ultrasound...i think the ultrasound one is more accurate


You are 13wks and 5days pregnant according to your last period but 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant according to your ultrasound but do you take off 2weeks from the ultrasound date you were told on 1st de?

You should be given an Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD) from both your last period AND the ultrsound, and they should match. If the ultrsound date is 2 weeks later than the period date it may be that you ovulated late in that cycle. The due dates for my pregnancies changed several times or more during the nine months. I'd follow the latest due date and you'll be so happy at the end if he/she arrives early. :)

If there is no heartbeat in 8 weeks pregnancy?

If there is no heartbeat by 8 weeks then you should schedule an ultrasound to make sure the baby is healthy. If you already had an ultrasound then chances are you might miscarry. There is no medical treatment to keep you from miscarrying, and it isn't your fault in anyway if that is the case so don't blame yourself and keep trying.

If someone has a false period during pregnancy will examination and ultrasound eventually establish accurate fetal age?

Well we just went to see the doctor about my fiance who according to her last period should be roughly 16 weeks along. The doctor said she was showing signs of being more like 20 weeks. My fiance's last period was late and light, and on further thought could quite possibly have been a false one. The doctor said when we go back for the ultrasound next month that we would be able to tell more accurately what the actual age was.
