A member asked:

If i'm 20 weeks and the doctor measured my uterus as 22 cm when it should be 20 cm does this mean that my dates are wrong?

No: Uterine size measurements should be roughly the same as how many weeks you are. They can vary by 2 to 3 centimeters. They can vary because of mother's weight or slightl differences between how different doctors get the measurement. Two centimeters is really not significant.

No necessarily: Us is better for dating than the measuring tape.

No: As long as you measure within 3 cm compared to your dates, this will be normal.
