1st Trimester

Just a little confused?

So I went to the hospital because I was cramping up a lot and the ER doctor said that I was 10 weeks 2 days. This was on the 29th of December. Then, I went to my actual doctor yesterday and got my first real ultrasound and at the top corner, it says I am 11 weeks and 5 days. Do I go by what the ER doctor told me or from my regular doctor?

    They both did an ultrasound. The ER did one and so did my doctor. Like I said, the ER doctor came in and told me I was only 10 weeks at that time, not 11 weeks. But when I went to my doctor yesterday, she said I was 11 weeks and 5 days lol they have me so confused.

    Personally I'd go with what the OB said.  The people in that office are going to be better trained in prenatal ultrasound measurements and at this stage, the tiniest margin of error can make it seem like you're days ahead or behind.

  • It's only a few days difference. It's really not going to matter much.

  • I'd probably go by the OB because I imagine that's what they're going to go by. 

    I'm assuming you don't know your LMP? 

    DD1 4.14.10
    DD2 8.22.13

  • I would go by what the OB says and your LMP.
  • Your OB might have put in your EDD based on your LMP, which is what the machine showed. The ER doc might have used actual measurements to get his number. In my great experience, different U/S printouts will show different things, depending on the settings of the user. Better to ask than to try to interpret yourself.
