Was it normal for me to do the prenatal ultrasound at 22 weeks?

Patient's question:

I did a detailed ultrasound check last time when I was 22 weeks, but the ultrasound report said the baby was one week smaller, only 21 weeks. However, I don't know whether the gestational age after this should be calculated based on the gestational age on the ultrasound report or based on my previous gestational age (my previous gestational ages have all been normal). I would like to ask for advice from the doctors.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, when we perform a thorough ultrasound examination, there is usually a one-week discrepancy between the actual gestational age and the estimated gestational age. For subsequent gestational weeks, the estimation is still based on the last menstrual period. It is recommended that you enhance your nutrition, engage in more outdoor activities, avoid sexual intercourse, and undergo periodic prenatal check-ups at the hospital. Maintain regular bowel movements, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid getting colds. The above advice is for the question "Was it normal to have my last anomaly scan at 22 weeks?" We hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
