Hi All,

I've just had my dating scan & we seen our little baby for the first time! Was truely breath taking.

However I'm confused by my dates!!

My baby is 42mm which would make me 'around 9 weeks' says the midwife but she also said my due date was Aug 25Th but that would make me in my 11 week according to the internet calculations!!

Help I'm worried x

There is always an additional 2 weeks added on. Your pregnacy is classified as 11 weeks, but your actual foetal age will be 9 weeks.

They calculate your pregnancy from the first day of your last period, so I would presume conception is 2 weeks later.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant, but my foetus is only 18 weeks.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! It is a wonderful moment when you see the baby for the first time isn't it?
Don't take too much notice of either of the dates, the baby will arrive when he/she wants to anyway!
When you have the 2nd scan later on the date given then will be more accurate.
Have a happy & healthy pregnancy!
