19 wks preg but baby is 18wks GA how??
Hi there, I'm confused about my baby's gestational age, according to my LMP, I'm 19 weeks pregnant on Thursday but the ultrasound I had on Mon. 6 Nov said my baby is measuring 18wks gestational, how the hell can that be? Should my baby not be somewhere round 17 weeks? Does this mean I'm gonna have a huge baby that nappies won't even fit on?

If you are 19 weeks on Thursday then you were 18 weeks and 4 days on November 6th. The ultrasound is only accurate to within 3-4 days.
