Due date confusion?

Question

Before I had my first ultra sound I had my pregnancy confirmed at a free clinic and my LMP put me due April 18th. However after two ultra sounds they put me at two other different due dates idk what to believe. Someone explain this to me? Which is my actual due date??

First check up - April 18th (LMP estimate)
First ultra sound - April 15th
Second ultra sound - April 14th

But they continue to tell me my due date is April 18th even tho I've had different measurements of how many weeks/days I am. Please help.

Answer

Baby is harder to measure when it is so small, but you should always go off of what the baby measures as over what the LMP puts you at. When was your last ultrasound? I would be going with the last date they gave you, because baby would have been the biggest and easiest to measure then. You may get a final due date change at your twelve week scan, also.

Answer

At my doctors office they don't change your due date unless your dating ultrasound is more then a week off! Like for example, my lmp due date is April, 6th, when I went in for my ultrasound, the baby was measuring with the due date April, 7th. But they kept it at April, 6th.

Answer

Always happens. My first us they said due 4/12 then I had my 11 wk us and now they say 4/9. I bet next time it will be different. That's why when people say they were like 9 days early or 4 days late you never really know it could be the true due date. Some babies grow larger than others

Thank you ladies I appreciate it
