My sister has a very strange pregnancy
Her last period was 7th February 2015 so that would date her at around almost going on 8 weeks. She had a bit of bleeding and last friday we took her for a scan where she was measuring 5 weeks... there was no baby yet just a sack, and the scan person said she was going on 5 weeks. Then on Wednesday she had another scan that had a heartbeat and the scan lady said she was going on 6 weeks and that her baby had a very strong heartbeat.
Would you still go by your period or would you go by the scan measurement. I have had 2 kids myself and know that by the 12 weeks scan your period date is irrelevant and you go by the measurement of the baby. My sister says she is going by her period because she wants to be further ahead lol. My sister keeps saying she is 8 weeks but I personally think she should go by the scan because that is more accurate. Her argument was that the doctor said 'scans can get it wrong'... I dont think you can go from a 5 week sac to 8 weeks in a couple of days
