Gestational Age & Ultrasounds

Dorothy • I am a 24 year old wife and mom to two beautiful children. My daughter will be 5 in May and my son turns 2 on Saturday! We are thrilled to be welcoming baby #3 this October!

Okay, so I'm not sure if I'm the only one this has happened to, but here it is!

My LMP was January 22nd which would put me at 13w3d today.

I got a viability US at what I thought was 8w something and baby measured at 7w2d. Which put my due date from October 28th to November 7th. So, I kept both dates in mind as a "if I go within this 6 weeks, things should be good."

Well, I had my 12 week NT scan (12w today). The tech measured the baby and was like "wow! Baby is measuring big for 12 weeks." Baby was measuring in at 13w2d. Putting my due date at October 29th.

Baby is between pelvis and belly button (she was higher than I expected when doing my US).

Has this ever happened to anyone?

This is just so weird because my other two children, everything was on point. Daughter was born 11 days early and son was born 6 days "late". I am all for letting baby come when ready (especially since I had an elected induction with my son and even though I didn't have meds, he wasn't ready to come out), I learned the hard way.

So, Idk what to think lol
