AnswerDearsound scan for dating pregnancy Paula
Do not worry at all. Obstetricians never rely on a single ultrasound scan for dating pregnancy. Actually we count on serial ultrasound provided that the first is taken between 12-16 weeks of pregnancy
If any discrepancy occurs with the next scan, be sure that her, and he will make the necessar doctor will take a more detailed thorough history about her period and she would tell him all the events and he will make any necessary correlation.
Furthermore, the nasty brown stuff that u talked about does not necessarily be what is in ur mind. I do not see any reason for your worries other than this might be your first grandson/daughter.
Good Luck to you and your daughter.
