LMP and Ultrasound off by 3 weeks

My LMP shows pregnancy at 7 weeks But ultrasound shows 4 weeks Is this normal to experience? My next visit is next weekend and I'm honestly so worried and scared :(

Had the same situation and had to return about slightly more than a week later for another scan. At the next scan, it was confirmed that I'm about 2 weeks off from my LMP! Could be due to longer menstrual cycle (say >30 days) instead of the average 28 days cycle so it is not accurate to rely on LMP to estimate duration of pregnancy. Try not to worry so much!!

Normal! If you want to count your weeks of pregnancy based on LMP it will never be accurate even if you have a regular period. That's why your EDD follows the ultrasound which is more accurate. Nothing to worry about!

Thanks for sharing! It's so precious to be pregnant and I really hope that the baby will grow and be delivered safely 🥺❤
