1st ultrasound (abdominal) I thought I was 6+4 but the nurse said only about 3 or 4 weeks.. Is this normal? I thought it was from the first date of last period which would for me be over 6 weeks... Xx

Also of your cycles aren't regular it will put it off...they usually tell you by the first day of your last cycle...like in my case if they went by that I would be almost 18 weeks instead I'm almost 15.

im also surprised they could see anything with an abdominal ultrasound that early...usually they do a transvaginal one.

If you were due for AF on the 18th then you should be around 6 and a half weeks or so......

So in a way, youre both right! She says 3-4 wks gestation, and you say 6 wks. Both right :)! Pregnancy is mind boggling!!!! Lol

A due date is an estimate. It's not the day you will deliver nor a accurate "age"

You could have ovulated later, so it's not a guarantee. This early in the game, it's hard to tell what's happening. It's a wait and see type of deal. My LMP puts me a full week ahead of my baby's actual gestational age, because I didn't ovulate until cycle day 21.

Last MISSED period :) do you know when you conceived?

You always tack on another two weeks to babys' gestational age to date how far along you are. So if you are about 4 wks gestation, then you are 6 wks along. Since its based on your LMP, they add two weeks for conception.

Ok so then that sounds about right! Your due date is what they said it would be. Plus early ultrasounds are the most accurate. The earlier the better. Once you pass your first trimester it becomes hard to date because then babies start to grow at different rates. They all look the same early on. :)
