A bit worried after my early scan šŸ˜©

Hello mommies, Iā€™ve calculated since my last period (22nd of December) and Iā€™m pretty sure my pregnancy is now at 8 weeks but yesterday I had my early scan and the doctor estimated it at 5 weeks + 1.

Measurements

Our baby boy measured in 51st percentile at our 20w scan, and had my bump measured at 28w and measuring in 97th percentile. I know scans and tape measurementā€™s arenā€™t compared. Just wondered if anyone else had had such a difference?
