I am right on the edge of May/June so I know I could end up with a May baby or a June baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456370 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 17:03:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 456370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My changed by a couple days at my dating u/s but otherwise no. My MW doesn't change based on late pregnancy measurement or size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456360 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:56:35 +0000 mole 456360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife told me that earlier ultrasounds are much more effective for dating purposes than later ones, given the height/weight differences of babies at birth. I have consistently measured ~4 days ahead of my due date, but that's definitely not enough to change anything! As other people have said, the due date is definitely just an estimate, +/- 2 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456321 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:42:02 +0000 blackbird 456321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was changed numerous times in the first trimester. She's told me numerous times to not just expect to have the baby at the end of March (i'm due 3/30) but ANY TIME in march! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456319 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:41:21 +0000 Adira 456319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My due date did not change - during my first ultrasound, they said they only change it if you're measuring a week or more off from the LMP date. I was measuring about 4 days off, but not a whole week, so my due date has stayed the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456289 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:31:10 +0000 tlcbaby 456289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Yeah, I have heard it is more of a "due month" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456287 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:30:12 +0000 rachiecakes 456287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to my cycle, I should have been due 12/7 but when they measured via ultrasound I was only 7w4d putting my due date at 12/15. They changed the date on my records from that point on.<br /> A due date is just an estimate anyway. My best friend just had a beautiful baby boy who was two weeks and one day "late". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456281 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:28:27 +0000 autumnlove 456281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My due date was set as 4/26 at my prenatal intake appointment based on my last menstrual cycle. However, my OB did some measurements at my first ultrasound at 7 weeks and he pushed it back to 5/2....which is what matches what Fertility Friend says based on the charting I did after my first period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/due-date-changing#post-456250 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:19:43 +0000 tlcbaby 456250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a weird question - did anyone's doctor/midwife change their due date at some point during your pregnancy? If so, did they do it based on the size of the baby or the size or you or some other reason? I don't know why this is on my mind, but I thought I would ask! </p>
