There is nothing wrong with that...baby's grow at different rates. Your baby is just measuring a little older...they take several measurements into account in this determination.
I am only 10 weeks, 5 days and my baby measured yesterday at 11 weeks, 2 days. At least the baby isn't measuring too small...everything will be fine.

That's normal. The difference between 18 weeks and 17 weeks and 4 days is just 3 days. He's probably just rounding. The due date calculated by the last menstrual period is just an estimate any way.

It is fine. Doctor's do not usually change the due date officially unless you are more than a week off. Plus due dates are not 100% accurate anyway. I know with my first pregnancy I had a due date calculated from my last period, then I had 3 ultrasounds which each produced a different due date. And with 4 due date my daughter still showed up on a completely different day! LOL No big deal!

Yes, it's completely normal. The due date is just an estimate. With my daughter, the first ultrasound showed my due date was Nov. 23, but the next showed Nov. 28. With this pregnancy, my due date is Nov. 19 based on my last menstrual period, but the ultrasound showed Nov. 22. Babies are rarely born on their due dates. It's expected for them to come within the two weeks before or after that date. Good luck!!!

Very normal. I got an ultrasound at when I thought I was 10 weeks pregnant, turned out with the ultrasound I was barely 9 weeks pregnant. Got another ultrasound at 11 weeks, when I was originally supposed to be 12 weeks pregnant, I was 11 weeks and 4 days. SO it went from a whole week off, to only three days off if that makes sense. Basically it just means, our babies can come earlier or later and that we should be very prepared before or after our due dates.

Totally normal. The due date that is determined by your ultrasound is rarely ever the same as what you may calculate based on your last monthly period. They usually vary by a few days. Who can tell the exact day you conceived?

Totally normal. The official count is from the date of the last menstrual period, and it will vary a bit. Measurements will vary as well.
Congrats and good luck!

If you had an US done that may be what he is talking about. Usually they are different from your last menstrual and the measurements in the US. Nothing to worry about.
