I need help. Father of baby

how accurate is an ultra sound? Doctor told me I was 6 weeks 3 days I heard my babies heartbeat on March 19th and saw his heartbeat on the screen as well. I found out I was pregnant March 6th and my week estimator said 2-3 on the 8th. On the 12th it said 3+. I had sex with my friend February 1st-February 13th. Lmp was feb 1st-5th then had sex with ex on feb 24 and 26th, went to doctors recently and they said baby is measuring two days bigger and my due date is nov 8th. But belly is measuring week smaller. Confused please help

The heart can be heard when it begins to beat, on an ultrasound.  But it does not matter anyway, since your doctor said you were 6w3d on March 19, making conception around February 15 or 16.  Please stop obsessing, and listen to your doc.

If the heart starts to beat at 22 days isn't it to early to hear it at 24 days is what I mean? It just started beating so how is it possible to hear a heartbeat that fast  right after it started beating? If that makes sense. Usually people don't hear a heartbeat at 5 weeks and 4 days they just see it and if it was the other guys then I feel like it just started beating so it would be to early to hear it beat. I know u can see it but not hear it that early? Sorry just w stress ball and I am probably the most paranoid person you have ever dealt with lol thanks Annie

From what I understand, the Right to Life people say the heart begins to beat around day 22 from conception, or 5 weeks 1 day counted the medical way (from the first day of the last period), so that clue is not going to be helpful to you because you had your ultrasound at 6 weeks 3 days.  But ultrasounds in the sixth and seventh week are pretty accurate, maybe a +/- a day at most, and your doctor said you were 6w3d on March 19, making conception around February 15 or 16.  So it does not matter if you can't get an additional clue from the presence of the heartbeat.

another way I figured it was the 1st guy is I heard the heartbeat at 6 weeks 3 days. And if it was my ex then it would have been Around 24 days since we did it from the 19th of March and I was curious if it's even possible to hear a heartbeat that early?  Thanks Annie

You're what, in your 7th month now?  I guess there would be no harm in doing a test with Ravgen, but given the two-thousand-dollar cost, you might just wait and do a test when the baby comes for three hundred dollars.

I assume you aren't interested in a relationship with either one, so when were you planning to tell, after the baby is born?  If so, you could see if the baby looks particularly like one or the other before you finally tell either one.  But in any case, I would test with the first guy before the second guy.  There are no guarantees in life, but the dates are pretty strongly suggestive that the guy on the 24th was too late.

thank you for your quick response. I'm just so absolutely nervous. How positive is your conclusion? Is it very rare that it could be the guy on the 24ths? I don't know who to tell but I don't want to tell both unless I have too. Neither of them know yet . Thanks Annie

Ultrasounds in the sixth and seventh week are pretty accurate, maybe a +/- a day at most.   If the doctor reading your ultrasound said you were 6w3d on March 19, conception would have been around February 15 or 16, too far back for the guy on the 24th.  That indicates the sex on the 13th produced the pregnancy, due to the long life of sperm in the woman's system after sex.
