Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a bit of a feminine touch here. I went with my sister to her 12 week dating scan (14 weeks after LMP) as her husband is in Russia on business. Anyway, the sonographer (think that is their name) said that given the size of the wee beastie it's approx 9 weeks (11 weeks after LMP).
So i consulted Dr. Google.... stupidly... and now having very irrational thoughts about my sisters health.
She asked the lady who was carrying it out how accurate the scans were and she said that they were accurate up to about 3-5 days at 9 weeks as babys tend to grow at very specific rates.
So what i'm looking for is any advice from folk who have been in this situation or know more about it than I do as Google is a nightmare..
Is it possible for a baby to be 9 weeks in size and realistically be 12/13 weeks, or are the dating scans pretty much accurate to within a week (i.e there is no way they can be out by 4 weeks!)
I'm quite protective of my big sister so would like a bit more understanding on this.
