We have moved up a bit at each ultrasound! It looks like we could be anywhere from 1- 1/2 weeks ahead of where we initially thought but we are sticking with our original due date :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201454 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 17:57:48 +0000 Sammyfab 201454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO measured ahead at our 18-week and 36-week ultrasounds but my midwife never changed the date. We ended up scheduling a c-section 1 day before the u/s edd. I didn't feel close to being in labour though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201426 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:43:54 +0000 mrsjazz 201426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was moved from April 16 to April 9 after the NT scan. LO came on April 17th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201421 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:22:34 +0000 DillonLion 201421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doctor will never change our due date at this point. Almost all babies are the same size at the beginning, and then grow differently as time goes on (otherwise all babies would be born the same weight, of course!). So, the only way to accurately assign a due date is at the beginning, when everyone's babies are the same size, in relation to their measured gestational age on the ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201418 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:18:38 +0000 HabesBabe 201418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did, after our first U/S around 8-9 weeks. My original due date was 7/13 and they changed it to 7/6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201417 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:18:18 +0000 LuLu Mom 201417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes this happened to em as well, but my EDD was left alone since I had an U/S at 9 weeks and they said that is more accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201406 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 16:05:46 +0000 heffalump 201406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours changed too but they said that if it's less than two weeks difference they don't change the date. LO came on her original due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201390 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:45:00 +0000 MamaMoose 201390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we have had baby measure as far as 4 days ahead but my doc said the same thing... later ultrasounds are much less accurate for dating so they stick with the early one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-measuring-ahead#post-201385 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:43:52 +0000 mrsjyw 201385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>found out today at our anatomy scan that our baby boy was measuring a week early! that would put me at 20w1d instead of 19w1d... the dr didn't change the EDD cuz he said that usually the earlier U/S are more accurate.</p> <p>did any of you have a change in EDD after subsequent U/S? </p>
