17 weeks but baby measured at 18 weeks 5 days???

Question

My due date has been july 16th 2016 since i found out i was preg. I had an ultrasound today (its a boy💙) and he is measuring at 18 weeks 5 days?? Wat does this mean?? Anybody know???

Answer

Your first US is usually the most accurate when talking about a "due date" but due dates will change half a dozen times throughout your pregnancy. I'm 18w today according to my first US, but I'm measuring almost 2 weeks ahead according to my appointment last week. My doc keeps my due date from my first US, as it's easier than changing it a million times based on measurements.

In the long run, baby is going to come whenever they're ready, and it'll have nothing to do with your "due date" unless you go past said date or need to be induced.

Answer

No worry shun:) all my boys measured at 16 weeks 19 weeks lol

Answer

Ultrasounds can give you a better prediction on your due date, so your most likely 18w5d. According to the pregnancy calculator I was given July 27th as a due date. I went to my first ultrasound end of Jan thinking I was 14w, and the ultrasound had me at 16w giving me a new due date of July 11th. Idk. I finally have my second ultrasound tomorrow.

Answer

I'm 15w4d and I went Tuesday measures 17w :-)

Answer

I'm also due in the 16th,  just had an ultrasound at 17 w 3 days but baby was measuring 16 w 5 days, not a big enough difference to change anything around.

Answer

With my son he measured 2 weeks a head almost the entire time. He was born at 37 weeks.
