Early scan measurements - due JULY 22

I thought it maybe helpful for people who are having early scan measurements due around July to have a thread as a couple of people wanted to know measurements -
@
I'm in a couple of threads and one has a diary of scans but it's hard to scroll back and find them so I thought I'd start a scan measurement off.

3/12 - 6wks - measured 5wks 6days
14/12 - 8wks - measured 1.14mm

So from what I can see I'm measuring 7+1 for 8wks. My Nurse was adamant everything was fine and not to worry if it's slightly behind and it's normal as it's still so early and small to measure. She said it was in the gestational range.
She said baby was all curled up! So couldn't measure properly. And not to worry! Heartbeat was seen etc and all looked good. Yolk sac and gestational sac etc

So trying not to worry!!

But thought this maybe useful for others who have measurements- I know I find it useful. I know I've read early scans aren't for everyone but for me personally they do help.

I also have another scan at 9wks so hopefully can see more

Feel free to copy the dates and make into a list

Congratulations!
I had my baby in May. I just wanted to reassure about any unexpected measurements. At every scan, I measured ‘off’
I had a private scan at 9+4 weeks and measured 8.
At my 12 week scan I was actually 14+3 weeks but measuring 12+5.
At my 20 week scan I measured 23 weeks
Then finally I had a growth scan at 32 weeks because of a low fundal height measurement which measured me at 28 weeks. FH measurement are useless though as when I went for the scan, the baby measured 36 weeks Shock
My little girl was born any 41 weeks weighing 8lb 4oz.
My point is, measurements are definitely not an exact science so please don’t worry about being slightly on the small side at this point because you’ll probably find that the size will ebb and flow with every scan you have
