When will midwife put my due date?

Question

I'm still waiting for my first midwife appointment (UK). My LMP was 21st November 2019. I have long cycles around 34 days. Lots of websites don't ask for cycle length. Will the midwife go off cycle length as well or just LMP? Thanks. I have my app set at a slightly later due date than going off my LMP alone. 🤔

Answer

Your initial due date will be based on LMP until you have a scan and then will be adjusted based on measurements. I haven't had my first in-office appointment yet but my doctor's office does a nurse intake appointment at 7 weeks which is a phone call and they did ask about cycle length then.  I also have a slightly longer than average cycle so I am expecting my due date to push out after I have my 10 week appointment.

Answer

They go off first day of last period ... then once you have your first ultrasound they measure baby and will adjust their estimated due date accordingly

Answer

I had messed up cycles since my D&C and was ovulating on cd 8 so when I got pregnant they first went off my lmp but as soon as I had my first ultrasound they changed it to match my ovulation since I was measuring a week ahead.
