Just curious! Is it normal for my baby to keep measuring ahead?

Question

So my original due date is June 22. My doctor said he will not change it until 36 weeks. My 16 week ultrasound my baby boy was measuring June 16. I went yesterday for an ultrasound at 29w 3d and he was measuring to be here June 7th. He was already head down and weighing 3lbs 13oz. Is it normal to keep measuring ahead each time? Do you think I’ll have him before June 22? This is my first child so I don’t know what to expect!

Answer

My first measured ahead. They never changed my due date. I was due 12/30/13 and she was born 12/6/13. I had my csection scheduled due to her being big and it being my first baby. My water broke on 12/6 and my doctor gave the go ahead to have her instead of stopping labor. She was perfectly healthy weighing in at 7lbs 2.5oz. I had an ultrasound at 35w5d and she measured 5lbs. I had her a few days later so my ultrasound was off by 1lb which they say is normal. Good luck hun🍀

Answer

They did for my nephew! His EDD started at 8/23/18, got moved up to 8/6, and he was born naturally on 8/1 at 9lb 1oz. 😳

Answer

Have they officially changed your due date that many times? That is very strange to me.

Answer

That’s so odd... I’ve never heard of them changing dates that much. Usually around 12 weeks you get a scan to see when your due date actually is & that’s it. They don’t move your date. Baby can be measuring ahead, yes... but due date always stays the same. 
Did the dr tell you he was changing your due date?? If not than I’d stick to the date he gave you,

Answer

As your progress the baby is going to grow at a different rate than other babies. Your “due date” is an estimation based on you cycle. I’ve never had a doctor change my due date for the baby measuring ahead further along in pregnancy.
