measurement discrepancies

Another question about measurements and date discrepancies...
I had an ultrasound on May 2nd and I measured EXACTLY 6 weeks... (early from my dates) and then I had an emergency scan on Sunday the 8th (6 days difference) so It should have been around a 7 week scan. They said I measured about 6 weeks and 4 days....they said a few days discrepency isnt anything of a concern, and that the heart rate went from 108 on Monday to 136 on Sunday and that it was a sign things were going well. I'm still nervous! Is this normal? Do you get more accurate dating and due dates in your 10-13 week scans?

My understanding is a few days early on is nothing to worry about! Dating scan will be more precise...12 week scan. Sounds great from the HB!!! congrats!

Its normal, your 12 week scan will confirm your dates
