My ultrasound has three separate pages with crown-rump measurements. One says 11.2mm, one 7.9 and the page with final numbers says 9.6, which I'm assuming is an average of the other two numbers. I see online that 11 is normal for 7 weeks. But, the doctor said the size looks perfect and is actually measuring 7w2d, even though I'm 7w exactly today. I'm confused. Which numbers are right? Why is there more than one? Anyone else have numbers to share from 7 weeks?

I'm not sure about numbers but it's completely normal to measure ahead. I've always measured about s week ahead with both my sons. Congrats con a good ultrasound!!
-
Ooh congrats, that sounds positive!
-
You should trust the tech and stop obsessing about the numbers! And 2 days ahead is well within the margin of error of the machine so that's not a big deal
Congrats!
-
Don't worry about the numbers. That's great. Glad it went well!!!!

@CatchAFallingStar: I know it's tempting to analyze all of the numbers- but trust the tech! Sounds positive to me!
-
Even a tiny twitch in the tech's hand can change the numbers. Trust them and definitely don't stress about 2 days.
-
At that point of pregnancy, I think there is a margin of error... Maybe +/- 5 days?
-
Yep, @Mrs. Jump Rope is right. My current pregnancy (23wks) suddenly measured 5 days smaller than my first ultrasound and he just eventually caught up again. Positioning and the way the tech measures makes a difference sometimes. Enjoy your pregnancy! Don't worry about little details like that, sounds like your baby is doing well!
-
that sounds good! I never knew what the actual measurements were
-
R was 2-5 days ahead the whole time.

I wouldn't stress about specific numbers. My LO measured behind at 7 weeks, right on track at 9 weeks and ahead by 12 weeks. Being on track at 7 weeks is an awesome sign!
-
I never knew what my actual measurements were either. The doctor says everything is on track, put the report down and step away
