How many weeks am I?

Question

Throughout my pregnancy I've been due on 16th April, which makes me 34 weeks today. But in January I had a growth scan where they said he was measuring for the 8th April. I went to the hospital yesterday for reduced movement (all is fine) and they kept saying I was 34+6? Do I stick to my original due date like I have been doing, or go by the new one?

Answer

You stick to your original due date. The hospital will do that also. A week or so either side makes no difference, all baby's are born different sizes. They can have growth spurts also.

Answer

A week doesn't really matter, they'll generally keep your original due date. Especially if it's your first baby - they'd rather allow your baby the extra 6 or so days to mature before inducing than doing anything too soon as most first babies are 'late'. Maybe ask your doctor? My baby is measuring 5 days ahead in every ultrasound from beginning but they kept my original due date from my LMP for this reason, being my first baby. :-)

Answer

My friend is an ultrasound tech and she said the measurements on the baby can be almost +/- 12oz, so it's just an estimate. She did a 3d scan for me with my son at 33 weeks and he measured that he would be almost 2 weeks early...he actually came 4-5 days early.
