i had my first ultrasound 2 days ago, and i should have been 9 weeks, i thought, but the ultrasound showed that i should only be seven weeks. my doctor gave me a blood test 2 days ago and another one today, and my levels havnt gone up yet. they didnt go down either. is this something i should be worried about,?

Actually, the ultrasound estimated due date can be plus or minus 10 days. THe baby just may be measuring small. When I had mine at 20 weeks the baby measured 18. I just had one yesterday and it is right on target now. Just give it time. I am sure it will catch up.

Measurements during an ultrasound are not always accurate. Even if you are only 7 weeks, that's not neccesarily a problem. Just continue with a healthy lifestyle and wait it out. Things are too early for you to do anything about it anyway.
Good luck!

as long as your HCG levels are not down, you are just fine. if the doctor isn't concerned, then you shouldn't be. unless you had sex only once in two months, there is no way to tell exactly when you got pregnant. due dates are always estimates. most likely your doctor will have scheduled another ultrasound in the next two weeks to get a better estimate.

Nope I was suppose to be 17 weeks and had an Ultrasound done and my Dr. bumped me down to 15 weeks. I have a link on Hcg levels and the range they should be in through out your pregnancy.

I wouldn't be too worried yet. Just take your prenatals and eat healthy and see what the Dr. says. Ask her/him to be honest about what s/he is looking for, that way you can be prepared and do research if needed. My first two babies measured big for thier gestational age and my third measured small. Remember, a due date is a guess. Give or take two weeks. If there is only one possible day you could have concieved add two days and you have your conception date range.

The best thing you can do for the baby is not to worry..the doctor will tell u if there is something to be concerned about. Relax and enjoy the pregnancy.

You cant really put time on a baby. Every number your doctors throw out are just estimmates of how old you baby is or when she/he is due.

nothing is wrong dont panic. you will find your dates changing all the time, noone can say when they actually fell pregnant for sure. my dates changed four times thrughout my pregnancy on all two of my four children. i wish you all the best. remember dont worry.
