Random...Yes, but

Ok so I should be almost 10 weeks this Friday but.. I had to go to ER for cramping (baby is fine) according to the nurse I talked to I'm more along 7 weeks 6 days how is my baby measuring 2 weeks behind? could it just be a little baby? I'm confused and of course they don't show or let you hear anything. I have my first ultrasound Monday if I still have it because insurance may count that one that they have against us as having one. This sux I need advice

I was told they add two weeks onto when u actually conceived. Like I should be only 2 wks...but they go by your last period. So I am actually 4 wks.

The size in the U/S is equivalent to the size of the official counting with is 2 weeks more than when you conceived. So supposing you did conceived at the correct moment then you should be seeing the size of 9 to 10 weeks. HOWEVER, it could also be that you ovulated late that period or even had double ovulation and you got pregnant two weeks later and everything is fine.

 The problem with early U/S is that it's just a snapshot and you cannot see if everything is good until you get the second one and see that baby is growing.

I say all this because I AM EXACTLY IN THE SAME SITUATION :/ and also worried. I was supposed to be 8 weeks, but I had an U/S this Tuesday and the size was only 5 weeks. So either my baby stopped growing 3 weeks ago, or I just got pregnant later.

 When did you get a positive test? I got it really really late (2 weeks after missing my period), so it even makes sense to be only 5.5 weeks. However, I will know only next Tuesday when I have another U/S.

It's likely you just ovulated later than you thought.  My due date was moved back more than week after my first ultrasound because DS was conceived during a particularly long cycle.

Did you see the heartbeat?  If so, I really wouldn't worry about anything.

No I didn't see anything bc it was at the ER I'm going on the hope I can see and hear my baby on the 12th. The dr said baby was fine good heartbeat and movement but didn't tell me the heart rate all I really got was how far I was.

I got my positive home test a few days after my period was late I was 2 1/2 weeks late when they confirmed so maybe I am just behind I hate that the ER won't tell ya anything at least they said my jelly bean is ok.

I wouldnt worry about it, did they tell you how they knew it was 7-8 weeks? what tests did they do? I dont think anyone really knows how far along the baby is until they actually measure it during the ultrasound. thats the most accurate way. good luck!
