Hi I went to the doctor and they told me my baby might have dandy walker syndrome. I'm supposed to be 31 weeks by first ultrasound that told me I was 8weeks. But by lmp I should of been 10 weeks. Is it possible my baby was just sick so it was off by 2 weeks. Or can women get pregnant two weeks after there period? I will know Sep. 2 if he is really ill so please keep me and my baby in your prayers. Thanks.
