Does measuring ahead @ Anatomy Scan result in an Earlier Due Date?

Question

At my anatomy scan for my first baby, I was 19w5d. But head size and belly size measured ahead by 1-2 weeks. 
Does this mean I’m going to deliver earlier than the EDD (9/25/19)? Or will this just be a mega baby?

Answer

If your first ultrasound showed baby’s size measuring the same as how many weeks you were supposed to be then no. The further along you get the less accurate dating scans are as each baby grows at different rates and the measurements can be off the bigger baby gets. It’s always best to go based on your first ultrasound. It’s the most accurate

Answer

No. The dating us done at 12 weeks or earlier because babies all grow at the same rate until then. Agterb12 weeks genetics kick in. And growth spurts don’t happen for all babies at the same time.

Answer

With my daughter she measured right on in the beginning, as the pregnancy went on she measured 2 weeks ahead. They did ultrasounds almost every week in the end and she continued to measure ahead. They didn't deny csection until I was 39 weeks and she was 10lbs 12oz. This time they are monitoring me close to avoid another big baby.

Answer

They won’t change it and it doesn’t mean you’ll deliver early or that your baby will be huge.  I consistently measured 3-4 weeks ahead via ultrasound with my first and she was only 6 1/2 lbs at 38 weeks instead of the 8 1/2 lbs the ultrasound suggested a few days before.

Answer

My first measured 2 weeks ahead and her head was 4 weeks ahead from the anatomy scan onwards. I ended up being induced and delivered at 39w5d. She was only 7lb 10oz so for me the estimate was wrong. 
I'm sure I would have gone over due if I wasn't induced, she showed no signs of being ready to come out on her own but unfortunately it was necessary for medical reasons.

Answer

My son kept measuring 2 weeks ahead and they refused to changed his due date.  When I delivered him he had pooped inside and was a big baby. His due date was off by 2 weeks after the examined him they said if you didn't give birth today this would have had a very bad ending. My OBGYN was very unprofessional though too.
