Cute small sized baby :)

Just went for my first scan today at NUH! Number of weeks counted by the doctor from polyclinic previously was 12 weeks as of today based on my last menstrual cycle. Today’s scan showed my baby was of small sized and doc counted as 9 weeks. Not sure how it’s counted now ? anyone had the same case as me or knows why it’s like that?

When we first count the dates, we base it on our last menstrual period (LMP). That’s how you got 12 weeks. But the scan done is called the dating scan, which uses the baby’s measurements, and also compensates based on how long your menstrual cycle is each month, so the actual gestational age of the baby can be quite different from the dates counted based on LMP. The dating scan is usually more accurate, so take it as 9 weeks:) and congrats!
