Changed my due date

Lindsey💐 • 25 • made righteous by Jesus • wife to Alex • mother to Emilee Quinn + baby #2 on the way
I had my first appointment yesterday at what I thought was 10w6d, but after she measured my uterus, she said I was too small to be that far. I had an ultrasound today to verify the date, and little peanut is only 8w5d. It's hard to wrap my head around when I think about my last period and because I have a decent idea of when he or she was conceived. Curious if anyone else's due date was changed? Thankful our little one is healthy, and I'm so glad we got to see him or her, but the end of my first trimester being even farther away is a sickening thought, haha. The nausea is only getting worse with time.

I had the same thing happen, but now at 29 weeks my baby is measuring bigger. Which would align with my original due date, but the doctor won't change my dates. Says its most accurate during the first early ultrasound.

I guess baby will let you know when he/she is ready. Thank you for sharing!

I was the opposite. Supposed to be 12 weeks and measured at 13. Not sure how that's possible because of my last period. Doctor changed my due date and everything.

When I found out I was pregnant, according to my last menstrual cycle, I was supposed to be 7-8 weeks along. After blood work, turns out I was only 2-3 weeks along!

Crazy! Hard to wrap my brain around, but I'm sure the tests are correct. Thank you for sharing!!

Same exact thing happened to me. I am almost 15 weeks and I still go back to my tracking calendar and it just doesn't make sense to me based on my ovulation and when we had sex. We also thought I was 10 weeks and 5 days and turned out I was 6 weeks and 5 days. It all turned out perfectly thought because I had more time to choose my midwife and gave time for my insurance to kick in.

At that far along they go by ultrasound I went to my first appt and by my period should have been due January 24 but by the ultrasound my due date was changed to feb 1. You'll get another ultrasound at 20 weeks and even if you're measuring ahead they probably won't change your due date again

Usually ultrasound dates are more accurate. Especially when they are done early in pregnancy. Then again you know your body......

I totally trust the ultrasound and the tech, maybe I just ovulated super late? Either way, 2 weeks shouldn't make too much of a difference! Thanks for posting :)
