Hi everyone

I had a private early pregnancy scan today and was told I am measuring around 9 weeks 3 days (dates would have me at 10 weeks 2 days but my periods are irregular).

At the scan we saw a heartbeat and was told everything looked fine however since being at home I have been looking at the pictures and worrying about the fluid behind babies neck.

Does it look enlarged to you? I know it is too early to really tell but does anyone have any experience?

I am such a worrier and feel like the next 2 and a half week wait for the dating scan is going to be awful!

Thanks in advance everyone.

It’s too early to measure it at 9 weeks so don’t worry Flowers

I agree, it's impossible to tell. Pictures are blurred also, only they can get an accurate measurement, try not to worry or read into things. I'm the exact same and have done it thru my whole pregnancy and it drives you crazy lol. Enjoy and relax till told otherwise x

As PP have said, it's hard to tell this early. The scan will be zoomed so far as well.
Just looking at it without the measurements won't show anything
