Dear Doc, I've a query w.r.t pregnancy. My wife had her last mensuration cycle on 5th may 2016. Her pregnancy was confirmed on 20th June 2016. We had her first scan on 6th July 2016 and the report showed a discrepancy as (baby growth is @ 6 weeks 3 days as against normal growth rate of 8 weeks 4 days). Upon what I've read, my baby would have got its life on 14th day from the date of mensuration cycle which is 19th may 2016 and on 6 July it stands at 6 weeks 3 days which is normal. I would request you to clarify why the report showed a discrepancy. Please tell.
