when US tech measures baby

Today I had an ultrasound and when the tech was measuring the length of the baby you know how you can see the numbers by the measurements or in the side well mine said 16.3D does that mean I could be 16 weeks 3 days ? I didn't want to ask since i was spotting and they were checking my cervix and baby and ovaries.just concerned being last week they said i was 12 weeks.

Well their going off the baby measurement for now bc idk my last LMP and haven't gained weight I've actually lost weight so I'm hoping I don't have a big baby,my first 2 were 6 and 7 lbs. And only gained 10 lbs with them. With this one it's hard to know my actually due date.

Just means the baby is measuring bigger..... I'm 34 weeks but measure at 39 weeks. No concerns on my part cause my first born was almost 10 pounds, so I know my babygirl will be big as well. Just eat right and exercise, your baby and body will do the rest....
