in 1st Trimester
I went to an elective ultrasound and it was so confusing. I am 9 and 5. She said the sack was measuring 10 weeks but the baby was measuring 8 weeks . This was abdominal. I had an internal ultrasound a week ago the the baby measured exactly on time of 8 and 3. Then she remeasured the baby at 8 weeks five days. Then she said the heartbeat was 180 but came down. I’m so confused…. Am I In trouble???

    Also I need to add this was a boutique not a medical facility

    Exactly why you do not go to private/ unregulated boutiques.  There is zero regulation on the machines or staff.  

    Stop going to these ultrasounds and follow the process your doctors office follows.

    Why expose your baby to extra/unnecessary ultrasounds.

    No reason to think anything is wrong. It’s easy for measurements to be off - human error. Stop stressing!

    I think the best way to determine your baby's status is to go to a private clinic. Don't settle for less.

    @nken20 did you not read???? The private clinic is WHY the OP is worried.  You gave the worst possible advice!

    I agree with what @harpseal135 said. Please go to your doctor's office and follow THEIR process. They are much better.
