I don't think so Hun , scans are usually right but if they arnt they are only out by a few days here and there. Deffo not weeks out x

I know they go by the scan because its normally only out by a few days, you start maternity and everything according to the scan date so i doubt it would be so far out! xx

Scans can be wrong but not often. They are usually days not not weeks out unless you are sure when you ovulated and did the deed!?

No, scans are only out by a coyple of days or so. They use the size of ur baby to determine when u conceive.
I would be extremely worried if there was a 7 week difference.

Are you the one who asked this a few weeks back??

Its extremely unlikely they would be wrong by 7 weeks, the placenta only lasts for a certain amount of time hence why they induce, if they were potentially 7 weeks oyt on dating in some scans there would be an awful lot of babies put in danger!! X

what the other girls said, its really not possible to be out by as much as seven weeks. Are you aware that they date your pregnancy from your last period not the date you actually conceived. So technically you are already 2 weeks pregnant when you were with the father of your baby. Hope that helps. How many weeks pregnant are you now? We can help you work out your conception dates from that if you want.
