Baby measuring a week behind

mrsround2 · August 2017

I need some positive thoughts:( had our first ultrasound and should be 7w4d, but baby measured at 6w2d with a slow HB. Dr tried to be optimistic but I can't help thinking the worst. I go back next week for another scan. Longest week ever! Anybody have similar viable babies out there?

I hope everything's okay! I remember DS measured a little behind at our first appointment, but I can't remember how far behind. Everything turned out fine! Sending positive vibes!

Are you pretty sure of your ovulation date? If not, maybe you ovulated later than what you thought?

Oh, I'm sorry you got a stressful result! Sending a bushel of good thoughts for a growing bean... I hope this week passes quickly and you get good news.

I'm so sorry you are worried. Sending positive thoughts your way.

@sparklingdiamond yeah, I actually think I ovulated a day early. Plus I had a positive hpt 5 days before my period. So if I ovulated late, that wouldn't be possible. Ugh, so nerve wrecking!

I hope you get some good news at the next appt!

Yes! This happened when I was pregnant with my daughter. We were very actively TTC and I was tracking EVERYTHING so I thought I was sure how far along I was. We went in for our first scan and I thought I was around 6 weeks. They said all they say was the yolk sac and that I wasn't even measuring 5 weeks. We went back two weeks later to the day and there was our little gummybear, nice strong heartbeat, measuring 8w6d!!I don't know or why it happened but it worked out. Sending T&P that you have a happy ending and it's just earlier than you thought!

@mattel that's so reassuring! Thank you:)

I don't have any experience with this but I am thinking lots of good thoughts that everything is ok. Try to be very kind to yourself this week, maybe go get a message or facial or other self-care?

mrsround2 · August 2017

@stalkinghorse I would love that

@mrsround2 my first measured a full week behind at the initial ultrasound. He's a happy healthy toddler now. Prayers it turns out the same for you!!

My friend from my first BMB (who is actually currently active in March 18) both of her healthy pregnancies measured a week behind. Though with her first, she was a week late and needed to be induced and she actually suspects the u/s was not "measuring a week behind" but rather, they set her EDD a week too early.

@mrsround2 hopefully it's a ultrasound machine fluke and everything is ok ❤️

First 2 vaginal US with this pregnancy, baby measured a week behind. First abdominal US & baby was measuring exactly where he/she is supposed to be. My OB said that sometimes it's really hard to get an accurate reading with a transvaginal US if the baby isn't positioned in exactly the right way since they don't have the range of maneuverability that an abdominal US has. I'm currently 14w & baby is doing fine! Good luck!

@rainafire77 I honestly felt like if the baby just moved a tiny bit, it would've measured fine. I'll just have to wait and see. I think the low heart beat is worrying me the most now:(

rainafire77 · August 2017

@mrsround2 What was the heartrate?

mrsround2 · August 2017

@rainafire77 dr didn't be say, only said he'd like to see it higher. Maybe it wasn't even measurable. I could see it beating though!

rainafire77 · August 2017

@mrsround2 That he didn't tell you the rate is weird. Just wait & see & try not to stress.

Had my dating US yesterday and I'm 6 days behind where I calculated my due date. Late O and some stubborn sperm? IDK. Doc and midwife were decidedly not concerned.

srose2917 · September 2017

This happened to me as well! It was measuring healthy just was off a week from
ovulation vs lmp ! But that is nothing to worry about

mrsround2 · September 2017

@samrose230129 I really pray that's the case. I go back in two days. The suspense huts! No bleeding or cramping though
