19+2 but scan measurements today said 19+6

So I had my 20 week scan today and I am 19+2 weeks going from my 12 week scan dates, and have been told these dates font change now

When I was having my scan , I noticed the screen said 19+6 , I question the lady scanning me and she said 'just ignore it'

I know it's only a few days different, but does this mean I am measuring at 19+6 rather than 19+2 ?

It can just be from position of the baby. Scanning for baby size is notoriously inaccurate even at term.

This is common! You still go with your EDD from the start though 🥰

My baby was also measuring ahead, about 6 days ahead. It's completely normal - it is true that they don't change the estimated due date after your 20 week scan as my baby is currently measuring a further 3 weeks ahead and they are unable to officially change my due date, but my planned csection will be brought forwards 3weeks 😊

Like she said, just ignore it.

That's a negligible difference, and anyway dating by size is less accurate at 20 weeks, which is why the due date is set at the 12 week scan and not changed.
