Whatever the doctor says about my date based on LMP or baby size at my ultrasound does not convince me to change my calculated date of due May 10th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31466 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 01:05:54 +0000 erinpye 31466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have irregular periods, so basing it on my last cycle would put us 2 weeks further along. Because I charted, I have a guess as to the day I ovulated, putting our due date on April 4th, which is what I had them put on the forms, but since her 11.5 week u/s, baby girl has been measuring 3-5 days ahead of that date, so I just say April 1, or "the beginning of April." It's not super exact anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31291 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:57:11 +0000 katdevargas 31291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 due dates right now but I just tell everyone that I'm due at the end of feb/beginning of march. I'm not too concerned with the actual date b/c I figure baby will come when he or she decides to regardless of the date the doctor told me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31282 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:45:35 +0000 heffalump 31282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My on said they only change the due date if it's more than two weeks off. I was two weeks off so it stayed the same. And the baby came exactly on my due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31177 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:32:30 +0000 Weagle 31177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My due dates based on ultrasound measurements and LMP are about a week apart. The analytical side of me doesn't like the discrepancy, but I keep trying to tell myself that she probably won't come on either of those dates anyway :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31071 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 23:23:59 +0000 rachiecakes 31071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: I was at work! heheh I think most have passed though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31042 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:47:50 +0000 Mrs. D 31042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: are you taking bets? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31025 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:26:33 +0000 rachiecakes 31025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! LMP said 12/7, dating ultrasound said 12/15 - so sometime this week, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-31024 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:24:55 +0000 polkadots 31024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My date was also all over the place! one date according to my last period and one according to babys size. I just went with a due date week! Heck she wasn't even born in that week anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30968 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:16:30 +0000 pastemoo 30968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My NP said to trust the 1st ultrasound for dating, Anything after that measuring big or small is just about the relative size of baby/ baby's individual growth patterns starting to come through. Later you measure--more chance the baby is growing at its own rate giving you a different due date. Go with the first one. Use cycle length, not LMP or your due date will be too early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30959 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:09:45 +0000 L2sweetpea 30959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on my LMP my due date should have been 3 weeks sooner than what it was. When I went for my dating ultrasound they created my due date based off measurements. So that was the day I went with. Then at another ultrasound they would tell me how I was measuring (ie measuring 12 wks 4days and I was actually 12wks 1day)...they didn't change the actual due date though. However whatever due date your provider gives you it's technically anywhere 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30876 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:27:55 +0000 Mrs. D 30876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dates kept changing too depending on if you use my LMP or the length if my cycles, or my US. I figure, its all within a week, so it doesn't matter much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30871 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:25:53 +0000 MsMini 30871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Yeah, I am curious to see if they try to change the date at my anatomy scan (20 week ultrasound) on wednesday, because my first 3 ultrasounds were all in the first 13 weeks, and I am measuring big based on the due date from the 1st ultrasound (which was at 7 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30866 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:20:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 30866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: I didn't know that! So May 13th it is ;) I wonder if my second ultrasound will give a different date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30863 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:19:42 +0000 MsMini 30863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had about 4 different due dates floating around, if we went my LMP it would be April 25th, 1st ultrasound said May 5th, 2nd ultrasound said April 30th, 3rd ultrasound said April 29th. OB's office wrote down May 6th ... I just pick one, and I go with May 5th, because the first ultrasound is the most accurate dating method medically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30862 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:19:38 +0000 cyndistar3 30862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so weird and confusing they said I was 13 weeks at my appt today but im actually like 12 weeks 4 days... Maybe they just round up? Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-due-date#post-30855 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:15:26 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 30855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I know when my last period date is and with the calculations it says I'm due may 18th. </p> <p>Then I had my 12th week ultrasound and they said I was at 13 weeks. Pushing up my due date to may 13th. </p> <p>Then I see the doctor and says my due date is may 19th! </p> <p>Seriously can I just have some consistency. I know it's just a date and means nothing but I can go around saying I'm due between the 13-19th! </p> <p>Has this ever happened to anyone?' </p>
