Hi there,
I went for a private scan yesterday at what I thought was 7+4. It's my first pg and I've been a bag of nerves since I found out as I haven't had many symptoms so wanted to make sure, plus I have a large fibroid and wanted to check that it wasn't likely to cause any problems- thankfully it's not in a dangerous position at the moment.
Anyway, I had some good news in that a heartbeat was found, which was such a relief! We also found that I have a tilted uterus so the scan had to be done internally. However, I was dated at 6+2 instead of 7+4, but I'd thought my own dates were pretty accurate given when I found out I was pg etc. I may be wrong as I have a slightly irregular cycle but have a few concerns about whether it's that the baby isn't growing fast enough. I had accidentally only been taking 1 prenatal vitamin a day when the dosage is 2, which caused me to have a total meltdown when I realised on Friday so hoping that hasn't set things back.
I just wondered what others' experience of early scans were in terms of dating? I have read lots of different views so am confused. Sonographer said at this stage it"s give or take a week so hoping that's the case. Counting down the time til my 12 week nhs scan (when the appt comes through) and hoping for the best!
