Hi everyone. I had my 12 week scan the other week and at the bottom right hand corner it said 15cm....now apparently my baby should be around 6.5cms.....is the 15cm the size of my womb or the baby? Any help would be grateful. x x

kater - 100 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i agree with all the other comments, they should also have an approximate gestational age written down somewhere, this usually gives a 1-2 week period they say the baby is in developmentally. it can be very confusing, if you have questions your doctor should be able to explain anything you are unsure of during your next visit

Carmione - 100 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) That notation is the size of overall view range that the ultrasound is generating onto the screen. It's not an idicator of womb size or baby. :) I asked that too. I like to know what the numbers mean.
