Do you change your due date if you’re measuring 6 days behind?

Question

I’m measuring 6 days behind, should I adjust my due date? Doctor didn’t say.

Answer

Depending on how far along you are, measuring a week ahead or a week behind isn’t a big deal. 
When I was pregnant with my third, we had to have some extra ultrasounds, and it was always mentioned that he was measuring about a week ahead. I asked if they thought he would be a big baby, and they explained to me, that for the first 1/2 of your pregnancy or so the differences in measurements between side by side weeks is so small that it wasn’t really anything to concentrate on. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Let your doctor make that decision.

Answer

They only adjust the due date if you measure more than a week ahead or behind, but I was told my son and myself are measuring small my entire pregnancy. He was born at 38.1 weeks weighing 7lbs 3 oz and was 19 1/2 inches. So those measurements aren’t always the most accurate.

Answer

They typically dont change the due unless it is off by 10 days or more
