Size of a 7 week fetus for 9 gestational weeks

Question

Hi hi, just did my 9 week scan today and my doctor said the size of my baby is for 7w++ only. He said it’s like that because my period is usually late for a week. Anyone experienced/experiencing the same? Was your baby able to catch up with their growth according to their gestational week?#pleasehelp #advicepls #firstbaby

Hi, if your period always irregular so I think if u ovulate late and conceive late so you might not be 9 weeks.. when i found out i’m pregnant, i calculate from my lmd and suppose to be my 7weeks but did my Transvaginal Scan only 4-5weeks. My gynae told me irregular menses can be the cause of ovulate late and conceive late.. My baby is growing well and now 10 weeks 😊
