A member asked:
I'm about 18-19.5 weeks. radiologist who did ultrasound put in machine that i was 26+ weeks. can this affect the view and results of the ultrasound?

Dates off: The measurements of the baby would not be affected but the interpretation would be. The measurements at 18 weeks would be determined to be “small for dates” if the technician thought that you were 26 weeks. You should discuss with the ordering physician to make sure there is no confusion and an accurate interpretation of your sonogram
