Baby Measuring Ahead?

Question

Anyones baby keep measuring ahead? My due date has changed 3x, forwarding his due date a little over weeks.
If this happened to you are you keeping the most recent due date?

Answer

Most doctors will keep the due date from your first early sonó. The earlier the sonó the most accurate it is!

Answer

I'm high risk so I have had lot of scans starting at the beginning. Baby measured to the day what was "normal" at my 6.5 week, 8 week, and 10 week scan. At 12 weeks he started measuring a week or so ahead and has consistently measured about 10 days ahead since week 16. My doctor has kept my original due date from the beginning, as he says they are the most accurate (and it matches perfectly with my last missed period and when I tracked ovulation). Genetics play a large role in how your baby grows as the pregnancy continues, there is expected to be a variance amongst babies and measuring exactly on track just means your baby is average sized. My husband was a large baby and is 6'3" and has a lot of talk men on his side of the family. I'm not short and all the men on my side are also above average. It makes sense my baby would be larger. The most important thing to remember is that due dates are estimates, baby will come when he/she wants! I just keep in the back of my mind that he may come a little early so that I'm prepared.

How do they determine if ur ahead or not? My OB measures my belly but says it’s fine. Idk if I’m ahead or behind ...

Answer

I keep the most recent due date no matter what. They always want to change it but baby grows at different rates. I’ve never measured ahead but always behind. Which put my baby as a premie when if I go by her first ultrasound she would have been full term.

Answer

Oh me too! Due date is now 2 weeks earlier based on size estimates during scans! 
I just have notes in my phone. Should we update our glow to be the latest due date to get that weeks info?

Answer

Im going through this i will know more sep 10

Answer

You get the most accurate due date when a scan is performed between weeks 11-14. I just listened to a podcast where they cited this scientific article. After that, it's not recommend to change the due date anymore.
