Query

I had an early dating scan today, they scanned and said everything looked really healthy and she thought she saw the yolk sac but wasn’t certain. Couldn’t rule out ectopic pregnancy so I’ve been referred. Thought I was over 6 weeks but seems I’m 5 weeks and a few days. I’m super anxious and stressing that somethings wrong, now I have got to wait for a follow up scan from hospital 😔

It's really common to measure behind where you think you are in terms of dates, it just means you ovulated/implanted a bit later than you thought. 5 weeks and a few days is too early to see much on a scan. It happened to me this time round, I went for a scan when I thought I was 6w but I measured a bit behind. All OK, I'm now 22w!

You can always book a private scan this is what I did, I got a cheap scan for £40, its normal for your weeks to be behind or ahead, in my case I went for a private scan thinking I was around 5 weeks when intact I was 8 weeks so was a total shock but iv also had pregnancy where I thought it was 8 weeks and been only 4/5 weeks don't stress x

Thank you. I just didn’t want to google as I knew it wouldn’t help my anxiety 😂
