Feel free to take your paperwork / test results with you on your doctors visits and ask them what it means.
Medical shorthand can be tricky to decode.

Welcome to Mamapedia!!!

> greater than
< less than

So less than 14 weeks.

Which hospital did you go to? Reston or Fair Oaks? Who is your OB/GYN? I ask because you live right around the corner from me!!! :) And if you don't want to me alone - I can meet you sometime!

sorry you had a scare.

It means you're less than 14 weeks. I googled "greater than sign" and found that this means less than. If you think you're 14 weeks or greater, call the hospital and ask or ask your doctor.

Call them back and ask them to translate hospitalize.

That means under 14 weeks. If you go to the OB they can help confirm your due date. So glad everything is OK, congratulations!
