1st Trimester

Ultrasound dates baby behind 5 days

So my LMP was 10/2 and got a BFP on 10/26 (which made me like 3w3d pregnant) I went for my first US today and babe was only measuring 6w5d.  The OB said not too worry but there is NO way I got a BFP when I was only 2 weeks pregnant.  Makes me worry about viability...but there was a heartbeat.  Oh the worries....

  • DD was measuring 4 days behind at our first ultrasound. Sometimes you may have just ovulated later than you thought, or it may have took a little longer for the implantation to happen. Nothing to worry about.

  • I had IVF so there is absolutely no guesswork or unknowns about when I conceived, but when I had my first ultrasound I measured 2 days behind for one baby and 5 days behind for the other. The doctor told me not to worry (so naturally I did anyway) and she was right. Now both little ones are measuring right on track.

    Keep your chin up! Those early dating ultrasounds are not really all that accurate sometimes.

  • Thanks ladies.  It's always good to hear that other people have the same concerns.  Even though this is my 3rd baby, I still have the same worries and concerns as I did with my 1st little nugget! 

    Thanks again! 

  • From what I understand unless the baby is measuring a week or more behind at that time there really isn't a cause for concern.

  • I measured a week behind on my first appointment and here I am now. Try not to worry, it happens a lot.

  • Lurking, just wanted to give reassurance.

    When i had my first u/s, by my lmp, I was 8 weeks pregnant.  The baby was measuring less than 6.  

    I had to have another u/s at 10 weeks, my ob told me that at around 10 weeks, ultrasounds are more accurate at dating, and it would only be maybe a day off at that point.

  • If it makes you feel any better, I measured 10 days behind my LMP at my first appt. I was supposed to be 9 weeks 1 day and LO measured 7 weeks 4 days. Everything ended up just fine. My next 2 appts baby measured right on target with the EDD from my dating ultrasound. Try not to worry, you probably just ovulated later than expected...
