Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound on October 27th, which said I was 37 weeks pregnant. On December 10th, it was said to be 82 days. This adds up correctly. According to the calculations, January 11, 2019, should be 16 weeks and 1 day pregnant. However, the ultrasound showed the baby was small, only 15 weeks and 3 days. What's going on? Is the fetal growth and development not good?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, I don't know when your last menstrual period was? The number of days pregnant is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. The detailed ultrasound examination is based on the size of the fetus to calculate the number of days pregnant, and there may be a difference of one or two weeks compared to the actual number of days since your last period. Pay attention to rest, eat nutritious foods, and always keep a relaxed mood. Timely prenatal check-ups are recommended. The above is my suggestion for this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
