2+ weeks ago I had an u/s and the baby was measuring 0.33 cm which made me 6w+0d. I thought I was 6w+2d or 3d, but because I have irregular cycles and don't know my exact ovulation day (my best guess is cycle day 22-24) I thought that was probably it and they dated the baby's age based on that u/s.
Today I had another u/s at 8w+4d (new OB) and the baby was measuring 1.68cm making it 8w+1d. That can't be the correct age even with very late ovulation. Hubby wasn't around for any "baby making" after that, so I know it can't be that late.
The doctor said within 5 days they don't worry, but since the baby was smaller than I expected the first time around also, it does kind of add up to about that much behind. He also said it is hard to measure when they're so small because the machine is 2D and the baby is not. He said the HB looked good but didn't give me any numbers.
So basically now I'm just worried (of course). I do realize that if something isn't right there isn't much that can be done, but I guess I am just hoping for reassurance. Has anybody had experience with something similar?
In the early weeks my son always measured spot on, or a day or two ahead, so I try to tell myself measuring a day or two behind is really no different. But of course I can't help but worry something is wrong with the placenta or baby :/
