Help??
Posted: 05-25-05 22:14pm

I went to the Dr. Today and according to my last period(dec 19) I am 22 weeks pregnant.. But by my ultra sound and that tape measure thing they measure your belly with i'm 23weeks... Is this normal to be ahead.. When I count back the date it lands before my period even started.. Has this happen to anyone else?? Does this mean I will have a big baby??

It might mean that you have a big baby, or it may mean you conceived a week before you think you did. I wouldnt think about it too muck because pin pointing your real due date is not really a science that has been perfected.

date of conception is usally always 2 weeks ahead right??? Like say according to the ultra sound i'm 23 weeks then I actually concieved 21 weeks ago.. If I count back 23 weeks it lands like on dec 15 (before my last period on dec.19) but then when I asked so when did I concieve she pointed 2 weeks ahead on dec. 29.. And said you could have concived anywhere from dec. 25 to jan 3... So why is it that if the baby is measuring 23 then I didn't concive until 21 weeks persay... I don't understand i'll this I thought when someone was 23 weeks pregnant then that meant that 23 weeks ago they had sex with someone and got pregnant.... But actually they add 2 weeks on to your pregnancy... I just don't get it...
