My OB originally gave me a due date of 11/21 based on LMP, then bumped it down to 11/15 based on an early scan. Well, 11/15 has come and gone, the baby seems quite content to stay put, and I'm looking forward to still working tomorrow - after telling my boss and everyone that I may not be around all of last week :silly: Thanksgiving this year is going to be... interesting. </p> <p>I don't know if I should be worried that baby is overdue, or if it's just that my original due date was right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-iui#post-2796945 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 16:14:55 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2796945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How was your due date calculated? </p> <p>By date of last period or by date of insemination?

I’m needing a little piece of mind. We had our 7 week scan and they indicated the baby was measuring 5 days ahead of my LMP due date. I am concerned because I have Type 1 diabetes and I know exactly when we DTD and conceived. Am I already measuring big from the diabetes or is this something that is common? This is our second child and our first measuredn right on time. Any words of wisdom are much appreciated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774519 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 14:38:19 +0000 Mrs.Macaroon 2774519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tomorrow is my first scan and I am super nervous. Based on my LMP I will be 6w1d. I know that many say that they were able to hear a heartbeat at 6w. However, I have a feeling I'm not quite 6 weeks yet, I typically ovulate a day or 2 later than the norm. MY guess is that I'm closer to 5w5d. Do I still have a chance of hearing the heartbeat? I have been a ball of nerves and I feel like hearing that could calm me a bit. </p> <p>TIA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-cramps-round-ligament-pain#post-2513532 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 10:04:25 +0000 stiletto_mom 2513532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know that round ligament pain is more predominent in the second trimester, but I wouldn't describe my "cramps" as sharp or anything.</p> <p>They don't even feel like typical period cramps.</p> <p>I'm maybe 5 weeks?

If not, what did you do till baby came? Keep working till the baby finally showed up? Order pizza and eat ice cream every night? :wink: </p> <p>I am just so ready to be done and I'm only 32 weeks! My mother had 5 of 6 kids early (one came two days late) and my first was 11 days early. This baby is also measuring ahead just like my first. I know babies come when they're ready, but I can't help finding reasons to expect this one early! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-due-datemeasuring-ahead-question#post-2627685 Tue, 27 Sep 2016 09:46:05 +0000 ValentineMommy 2627685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably going to sound rambling since I'm off caffeine, so please bear with me.</p> <p>My due date has changed twice. First, they dated me off of my LMP (July 20), which gave me a dd of April 26. Ok, fine. I had told the doc that I knew I always ovulated late (usually cd16-17), and actually this particular month, even later than my normal (cd19). They said they would adjust my date at my first ultrasound.</p> <p>When I had my first ultrasound, baby measured exactly right for my O date (not LMP) - so they moved my date back....to May 1. Ok....still with me?</p> <p>Then, I had my MFM appt (I'm AMA, yay). Baby was measuring ahead a few days. I ended up having a third u/s, and that confirmed baby was ahead again. They decided to move my date based off of these two new u/s. Which brings the date back to April 26th (same as LMP dating). </p> <p>I don't actually care/worry about the date or measuring ahead a few days. But here's where my question comes in.... DH and I only BDed 3 times during my fertile period... CD11, CD14, and CD19 (which was my confirmed O date). Based on baby's growth being ahead, does that imply that baby was conceived from CD14 even though O didn't occur until CD19? So, 5 days before O?? Is that even possible? Or is baby just measuring ahead and it doesn't really mean anything?</p> <p>Sorry for the longest post of all time! I'm just curious, I guess. I didn't have any weird dating issues with DS's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-lo-born-1#post-2613873 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 09:54:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2613873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie was born on his due date!</p> <p>Olive was born on 35 weeks, 2 days, which was completely unexpected.</p> <p>What about your LOs?</p> <p>For all of my closest friends, all their babies came as early as 33 weeks, and for the most part were early!

I have had four different OBGYNs and four pregnancies, and never had a doctor wiggle around on a due date. After the 12 week dating one and the 20 week anatomy scan, it doesn't budge, even though I consistently measure 2 to 3 weeks bigger. </p> <p>Has anyone had their OBGYN change a due date after the 20 week scan? Or, like me, once it was set it was set? </p> <p>Ps how can I talk my doctor into doing this! Currently have a csection scheduled for 12/28 but I really want baby hear around the 20th (39 weeks is actually Christmas, so he wouldn't be here that early) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-due-date-what-would-it-be#post-1988819 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 19:45:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1988819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What would be your ideal due date?
