I'm a woman but I've never been pregnant, so I'm in the dark here
If a pregnant woman went in for her first ultrasound, and the heartbeat sounded fine and the development of the embryo looked normal (i.e. no visible defects) except that it looked about 2-weeks behind based on the date the woman gave as the first day of her last period, what would that indicate? How would the doctor react?
Could it be something innocuous, like assuming the woman is mistaken about the date or just ovulated super late, or would it inherently suggest something medically serious? What other tests might the doctor perform?
Thanks all!
