A member asked:
Can a 8-9 week fetus measure big and be mistaken for a 12 week fetus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The difference between 8-9 weeks pregnant and 12 weeks pregnant is very different on ultrasound. At this early stage, an ultrasound measurement is accurate to within a few days of how far pregnant you are.
