Measuring ahead?

Question

My last period was August 7-12th. I found out I was pregnant August 28th due to morning sickness. I had my first appt on the 19th of this month, I should've been 10w4d but Tge baby measured 11w2d. My due date should've been may 12th. What would my due date be now? And is it normal to measure ahead? Second pregnancy.

Answer

I was told throughout the pregnancy i could meassure ahead or fall behind that its normal. It really depends on your dr if they are changing your due date. Mine told me we would keep it the same until my third trimester and see what happens then. I am also meassurkng a week ahead so know how you feel. Good luck!

Answer

I found out I was pregnant a 5 weeks 3 days had my first ultra sound at 6 weeks and like 2 or 3 days but I was measuring 6 weeks 6 days... It didn't add up with when the first day of my last period was but we decided to stick with the date of my last period anyways I am now 10 weeks 5 days today... Dr said I should get to schedule my next ultra sound Friday for some time around my 12 week but I'm going to wait until about 14 weeks to have it done to find out the sex of the baby...

Answer

It's very normal to measure several days behind or ahead: the baby goes through uneven growth spurts, plus there is variability in baby size that starts to become more apparent as your pregnancy progresses. They likely won't change your due date because earlier ultrasounds are actually more accurate at predicting EDD than later ones. FWIW, my daughter would sometimes measure a few days ahead, other times more than a week. She was 8lb3oz and born on her due date (which my doc calculated by LMP).
