Which Due date is right?

Question

Based on my LMP my due date is 8/13. At my first ultrasound they said I was measuring a week behind and due date was 8/21, then my second ultrasound they said 8/19....what do you measure your due date by? I know my LMP is accurate since I track it in an app....

Answer

I’d share the later date with people. This way if baby comes earlier, yay. But if not you don’t have as much nagging. 
Overall I think your doctor would decide which date, not you. Mine used date of my second ultrasound which was at 9’wks as she said that would be most accurate

Answer

My first child I was given two dates about a week and half a part. My first edd came and went and they monitored and baby. Everything was fine so it just came down to a waiting game. Finally baby came 15 minutes before the second edd lol he was due Christmas Day and literally was born 11:45pm on Christmas Eve. Also I know it’s stressful not having that exact date to count down to and plan around (especially if you’re not being induced or csection) but even if you did have a precise edd chances are you might not deliver on that day. 
I hope it gets sorted out!

Answer

Publicly? I would go with your LMP. Privately as you aware the birth of your baby, your new EDD may give you a clue as to if baby will come earlier than expected or later.

Answer

My doctor said to use the LMP unless the ultrasounds are off by a week or more.
