Measuring one week behind.

Hey I’m due in August but your post popped up on my fyp. When you’re so early it can be really hard for them to get an accurate measurement so they can often be off. I had a private scan at about 7 weeks and they took a few different measurements and each one had a different gestation and then I went for my 12 week scan and I was actually a couple days ahead. I’d wait for your 12 week scan as they’re much more accurate. Sometimes they can catch up later on or even just stay a small baby but be perfectly healthy

Thank you so much for the reassurance. I think because I’ve been so unwell with IVF I am stressing out so bad x

The heartbeat was 130 x

Not IVF but might be helpful, I was 100% sure when I ovulated because I was having scans and when I went for my first scan I was supposed to be 6+3 but she said I was measuring between 5-6 weeks I automatically thought the worst because I knew when the baby was conceived so in my mind they were measuring behind already, I went for a scan a week later and was measuring bang on 7+3 exactly the day I was supposed to be, baby had either caught up or couldn’t be measured accurately at the first scan due to being so small, I honestly think all will be fine, that’s a good heartbeat too xxx

Thank you so much 🥹❤️

I went for a scan 2 weeks ago when I was 6 weeks pregnant, but was only showing 5 weeks. Went for a repeat scan yesterday and I’m now 3 days ahead. I think it’s just very difficult to see baby properly at this stage xxx

Ok thanks so much for the reassurance xx

I think baby was just having a lazy week xx

I bloody hope so haha xx

My first baby was IVF and I remember this worry. He measured smaller at a few scans but after discussion the first time they kept his due date per the ivf date since its literally the most accurate. But other times he measured large I think it's so hard not to stress at all stages but the scans aren't 100% accurate for length
