500 and 500 more.

I’ve been feeling unsettled since the scan, the numbers don’t add up to me.

1st scan was at 6w6 and crl was 11.5mm, at the same gestation J was 8.8mm - I’m sure they over measured by a couple of mm at least.

2nd scan was 8w6 and crl was 21.5mm, from memory I’m fairly sure J at 9w1 day was 24mm & was measuring a couple of days ahead. Estella at 9w6 (from EC) was 21.2mm which the FMC dated at 9 weeks.

So 21mm is fine for 9 weeks & they were inaccurate with the first scan.  

I’m feeling scared because the measurement is so close to Stella’s - which is just superstitious.

And silly. 

None of this really means anything but I need to get it out of my head.  

Well by my ovulation dates I’m 8+6 today, I’m sticking to the LMP dates in the hope that if we get to a live-baby-delivery scenario we’ll get it out a few days early.

It’s still there & alive - didn’t measure heart rate but it is beating. CRL was fine for 9 weeks exactly which is good? Except it is only 10mm longer than last time (14 days ago), embryos (feti?) are supposed to grow a mm a day at this stage. And yes I am worrying about it.

With the first scan they warned me the measurement was inaccurate (they tend to over measure) because it was abdominal not vaginal & it was measuring 3 or 4 days bigger than I expected. So probably it’s fine.

Probably.
