Had my first prenatal check up this morning. Got to see the little flicker of a heart beat on the ultrasound but she said the baby did not look 8 weeks. More like 6-7. That freaked me out! Anyone else have this happen? My last period was May 4th. Cycles arn't completely regular. 28-34 days at times. Thanks for any input!
Re: Baby measured small...
I think the size of the baby is more dependent on when you ovulated, not when you last period started. Because of this, if you ovulated late in your cycle the baby would be smaller in size than based off your period start date. When TTC did you use any ovulation predictor strips, or take your temperature to see when you ovulated?

No we just did it when we felt like it and had fun. We were definatly trying, just tried not to get caught up on ovulation timing.
Hi there,
I agree with what everyone else has said! Try not to worry. I had the exact same LMP date (5/4) and thought I was going to be 8 wks today, but the u/s tech said I was measuring closer to 7 wks. My periods were usually around 30 days, but kind of all over the place since i had been on seasonale for a million years...
good luck!
Thank you. That helps! They wanted me to have an ultrasound but our insurance doesn't cover them. We pay 500$ plus 20% after that... and my husband just lost work and im a stay at home mom to our 2 years old. So we just can afford it. She said that they could have me see a more educated doc in 2 weeks (one that is better at us and dating) and get a better idea of development. They used a very old one and it was all blurry. You could see a small flutter and thats it. (probly why that one was free) So not heart rate.
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.
