Curious - changes in gestational age

Hi,

I had an early pregnancy scan on what was 10w+1d from LMP and it was found that the baby was actually 10w+4d.

And going by the prev scan, today was supposed to be 12w+1d. However, according to today's scan, the baby was 12w+3d!

Does this mean that my baby is growing faster??

I'm not complaining. Just curious if anyone else had such an experience...

Cheers!

My dates have never been spot on compared with LMP, a week different with both DS1 and DS2, 4 days this time. I would suspect it is moreso down to the 'user' who is human measuring slightly differently each time. I believe the 12 week scan is supposed to be more accurate in terms of dating. HTH!
