Which date should I go off of?

Question

My LMP was July 23rd which puts my due date at April 28th. At around 5 weeks blood work put me behind at about 3-4 weeks but an ultrasound measured me at about 8 weeks 3 days on September 22nd which would put my due date at April 30th. I know it's a 2 day difference but I am all about numbers and faces so curious what date should I base my due date at? Right now I'm 10 weeks 2 days if going off what the ultrasound measured me at.

Answer

I agree with Alaina. I saw a study the other day from the UK that said the due date actually can vary be 5 weeks, depending on your genetics, baby's growth rate, whether or not you've had kids before, etc. Just give people an estimate, like the end of April.

Answer

The dates are only ever a scientific guestimation anyway. The baby will come when he/she is ready. I'm technically due April 1st, but I just tell everyone end of March-beginning of April. Babies come early, late, or in between. I'd say just tell people you're due the last week of April, thst way they have a general idea of when to plan for :)
