That happened to me too. I was supposed to be fourteen weeks but only measured nine. It was a missed miscarriage. Was there a heartbeat?

My first pregnancy a few months ago, I was suppose to be 10 weeks. But I only measured 5.   I had a "missed miscarriage", and a surgery to remove it called d&c. Being off by that many weeks isnt a good sign. Im sorry and I hope her dates are just wrong.

If she was 10 weeks by her last month period, then it's not a big deal. I was 12 weeks by my lmp and after the ultrasound it turned out I was only 7 weeks pregnant.
