How many weeks can an ultrasound be off?
And it be considered normal? When I went
to get my ultrasound I was like 16 weeks
almost 17 weeks and the u/s tech said I
was 14 weeks. He said that the baby
weighed 4oz and was almost 4 inches in
length. Is this normal?

They go by the size and development stage
of your baby once you have had u/s. When
I had bleeding at the early stages of my
preganancy, the gp told me that because I
had skipped a period, I was about 9 weeks
pregnant. I said that that couldn't be
possible, as we hadn't been trying that
long. It turned out that we were only 5
weeks pregnant which was shown at the
u/s.
I hope this helps. It's a right pain,
when you think you're further down the
line than you actually are!
Good luck anywho!

If you are 14 weeks and the baby weighs 4
oz and is 4 inches, that sounds right for
you to be 16 weeks pregnant and the baby
to be 14 weeks gestational age. Don't
forget when we calculate our pregnancy, we
start 2 weeks before the baby actually
starts to develop.
