What due date?

Question

My ob has never told me my due date ao I'm a bit confused on which to go by
1) first appt supposed to be 6+5 but measured 6+1
Baby has caught up now. So...
2) today's appt supposed to be 11+3 but measured 11+5. 
Do I just go by lmp and original due date? The days aren't terribly off. But I never thought  to ask.

Answer

so around d the time of my last period my grandmother got sick and passed away so. I can’t remember honestly when I started my period. They had me guess, and baby measures consistently 4 to 5 days behind. They kept my estimated last period to calculate my due date. Said it’s always considered an estimate unless the baby is measure more than 2 week ahead they won’t change my due date.

Answer

I’m in the same boat... when I went to my first scan I was measuring a week behind so they said they would use my dating scan instead of my LMP this was in January. Now I went to an appointment yesterday and they’re still using the LMP date instead of the dating scan. So I’m confused as to when my due date is. When I asked she told me I’d have to wait until my anatomy scan to find out exactly which one they will go by.

Answer

You typically go by first dating ultrasound. If your OB didn’t advise changing it then you would keep it off LMP.
