How common is it for dr to get your due date wrong?

Question

34 weeks pregnant but baby is measuring 37 weeks, for my 10 week appointment he was 10 weeks exactly every time after that he has been 2 weeks ahead in measurement how common is it for my dr to get my due date wrong? What if I’m really 37 weeks?

Answer

Due dates are just estimates as are the ultrasound measurements. Baby is technically full term at 37 weeks. Dome people go all the way to 42. Just be prepared for any time within that range! It's definitely an uncomfortable feeling to have all that uncertainty, but it's how it goes!

Answer

The earliest ultrasound done is most accurate. Babies grow almost identical early on, so I'd say they are very accurate. Babies grow differently though after that first trimester and they dont fully understand yet what triggers the hormone release that starts labor but not all babies are ready at the same time. My baby measured ahead too at 24+ weeks but was to the day that I though in early ultrasounds. She was a week late, measuring big now doesnt mean anything.

Answer

My Dr told me my due date was an estimate give or take two weeks.

Answer

Due dates are estimates. My son came two weeks early and was 9lbs. Obviously his due date was off 🥴

Answer

My Dr said that due dates can be off by 2 weeks each way.

Answer

Due dates are estimated. So are growth.
If you're really 37 weeks it'll just Eman your body will be ready for labor before you think it'll be. Trust your body in this..
