So I had my first ultrasound yesterday, and praise God all looked well. We saw our beautiful, sweet baby and a good heartbeat. I'm 9 weeks and 4 days today, but the doctor said the baby is measuring at about 8 weeks and however many days (can't remember now). I'm positive of when my last period was, so that's not a question. I asked my doctor, then, how far along am I if the baby is measuring a little less? He said I'm still 9 weeks and we'll still keep my same due date of January 20th.
So, has anyone else measured a little behind? I guess it makes sense that not all fetuses grow at the same rate and are the same size...my dd is nearly 3 and is a tiny thing, she still fits in 24 month. And I'm small, too. So I guess my fetus is just petite also?

Its likely you ovulated a bit later in your cycle but a lot of OBs will continue to go off of your LMP unless you are over 5 days off on your EDD. During my first pregnancy I ovulated extremely late so my LMP due date was off by about 2 weeks. I had a healthy baby and healthy pregnancy.

I'm pretty sure the baby just implanted late, when I took my first test after my
late period the line was BARELY there, and it took a few days to show up bright pink. So I'm not worrying about it.
@HJ.Morgan We have the same exact situation and due date! Very cool!

ETA: I had a super successful induction with my last baby because I ran out of amniotic fluid. Less than 5 hour labor+ delivery for a first baby but my body was more than ready. I'd been contracting before we started the pitocin and I was already almost dialated to a 4 and 90% effaced
