Scan at 6w3d measured 5w5d- should I worry?? UPDATE

[Gym knickers]

So as above, just had a transvaginal ultrasound at 6w3d roughly. Going my when we BD'd. Sonographer was a consultant- she said all looked great and pointed out the HB, but dated me about 4/5 days behind what i thought. I'm really nervous as this is my first natural pregnancy after a long cycle. The midwife said its within the realms of normal but does anyone else have experience of this? It's unnerved me a little!

Try not to worry, I had an internal scan today too and am a week behind what I thought, you will find it evens up the later on you are. It is very hard this early on as they don't all progress the same. You will have a better idea at the 12 week scan. x

Up to ten days is normal and nothing to worry about. My daughter was a full 10 days behind at our 6+4 scan but by 13 weeks had caught up and measured 2 days ahead. This baby was 7 days behind and now is a week ahead. In the early days scans aren't very accurate on dates, that's why the dating scan isn't performed till later in the pregnancy. Try not to worry over it

Yes, it's pretty normal. My daughter measured almost a week behind at the very early scans, but had caught up completely by 11 weeks or so. Congratulations! Xxxxx

my scans always say +- 4 days

With my son he was a week behind at the early scan and 3 days behind once we got to 12 weeks, try not worry

Thanks so much for all your advice! My girls both measured a week ahead at 12w and I was 100% sure of dates as they were clomid babies with BFPs at 9dpo. This one is a little bit of a different scenario as it was a natural surprise so I'm super nervous! Fingers crossed bean has caught up by 12w scan

Managed to get a rescan today as I've been so nervous. Bub has more than caught up measuring 7w 5d with little leg and arm buds, she showed me the spine, brain and HB- was fab! Thanks for all your reassurance!

Yay! Congrats!

That's good. At my early scan I was first measured 7w5d but she re measured and it came up 8w1d which is what I thought. Think it's just depends on the time and position of baby

That's great! Congratulations! Xxxx
