How far along am I really?

Question

This was on Monday. According to LMP i am 9 weeks today. But I’m confused on this. My doctor didn’t say my due date changed but I don’t understand why the baby measured 7 weeks 5 days but yet they kept my due date as Oct 1st... how do I really know how far along I am?

Answer

They don’t change it unless it’s off by 2 weeks or more.
My baby was measuring ahead in the first scan then behind on the NT scan then spot on on the anatomy scan. EDDs are only estimates and many women have their babies before or after them.

Answer

Like someone else said if the estimates are less a week difference they wont change it. My first pregnancy was only 2 days off and my second pregnancy was 11 days off. They only changed it the second time. Its completely normal

Answer

The days between lmp and the ultrasound can vary. Based on ultrasounds I was a week behind what my lmp was. They didn't change my due date either.

Answer

They typically change the due date if baby is measuring a week or more off. So yours didn’t change because you are a couple days off of a week.

Answer

Maybe cause its really once a couple of days difference. The baby might catch up little later. My doctor changed my DD after my dating scan though. Idk I would ask your doctor!
