If you constantly measured ahead, did you end up having your baby before your due date?

Question

Every time I have an ultrasound, I measure ahead by a lot. My last ultrasound I was measuring ahead by 9 days. My doctor said he wasn’t going to change my due date though because it was less than 14 days difference. My original due date was July 8, the ultrasound tech said it should be June 28. Which date should I go off of? Did you have your baby earlier if you were measuring ahead?

Answer

I was measuring 2 weeks ahead at like 32 weeks and 3 by 35 weeks. I delivered at 40+6 to a 10 lb baby lol.

Answer

No! I was measuring ahead the whole time with my son. They even did an extra ultrasound towards the end of my pregnancy and said he wasn’t “too big.” He was born at 40+6 at 9 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long. He’s just a big guy. He is 2.5 and still in the 80-90th percentile for height and weight.

Answer

I measured ahead with my first, by 6 days but due date was never readjusted because it was less then the time they go off for changing due date (one or two weeks I can’t remember) and I ended up delivering exactly 6 dates early so baby came exactly when she was would be due based on her measurement had they readjusted😂 so now with my second pregnancy I take the measurements a little more serious just in case 😂

Answer

Original due date was March 24th 
Dating scan pushed it to april 2nd 
All follow up scans measured with a due date from March 21st-March 27th 
Fundal height always measured ahead. At 36 weeks I was measuring 40. 
Went into labor at 38 weeks 6 days and delivered at 39 weeks exactly on March 26th.

Answer

I measured 2 weeks ahead throughout my entire pregnancy.  My son was born at 40+3.  I went into labor naturally.

Answer

I consistently measured ahead with my first.  The final ultrasound predicted her at 7.5-8 lbs.  she was born a week later at 6 lbs 8 oz.  Go with the earliest ultrasound as that would be the most accurate because they take on their own growth pace in utero but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re further along

Answer

Go by the tech because it is just a guess. Ultrasounds have the correct date
Just because you measure ahead doesn’t make your baby more developed. Just means they’re bigger. BOTH my boys measured over 3 weeks ahead. My son was almost 2w late. & my second I was induced for medical reasons, not because of his size, just before 38w.
