Ultrasound dates

Just had my 20 week scan at hospital
I saw three different dates on the screen 20w,20w2d,20w6d.  The tech wouldn't explain what they ment, anyone have any insight?

Most people get only one growth ultrasound, but i have a growth ultrasound on monday (ill be 32wks 4 days) because my daughter measured very small and came out 5'6 at birth at 40wks 2 days...so now with my son they want to make sure he's growing properly.

it means your baby is measuring where he or she should be. i asked the tech that too but mine actually told me.... if say the leg measurement showed "22w4d" thatd mean that the leg length would be that of an anverage 22week 4 day fetus.....

you're measuring perfectly! right on track!

when i was 18wks 4days my baby was measuring 23wks. so i have a long baby...lol
