Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My 22-year-old wife is pregnant. She had her last period five months back. She had her first scan two months back. There is a gap of six weeks between the gestational age and her last period. I am anxious and concerned.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I have reviewed your reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). A difference of two weeks is normal. However, in your case there is a chance of growth retardation in the fetus. Therefore, I suggest you go for a repeat scan.
I hope this helps.
Feel free to ask for more information.
Good luck.
