Due Date?

Question

Had my first appointment today and my baby measured at 6 weeks and 6 days but she kept my due date at feburary 26th which would put me at 7 weeks and 3 days. She said she was putting my due date at the start or my last period but my baby measures 6 weeks and 6 days. Is that normal?? 
So should I go with Feburary 26th or March 1st?

Baby had a healthy heart beat and my little bean was so cute!

Answer

It's so close, babies rarely come on time anyway, I just tell people the month I'm due. This time around I was 2 weeks behind what my lmp was so I definitely went with what doc said.

Answer

I was measuring a couple days behind on my first ultrasound done at 6wks and 4 days. Went in for my second ultrasound at 9wks and 5 days and baby was measuring right on time from my LMP. I would go by your LMP

Answer

They won't change the date based off of one scan. If the baby still measures a good bit off with the next US they will change it but it has to be about 2 weeks difference in what the current due date and what is measured

Answer

They usually change the date based on your 6 week scan. I would ask about it when you go in next. They changed mine by a week and a half based on my 6 week dating scan.

Answer

Usually unless they are a week or more apart the doctor won't change the due date! ☺️
