ok...... So i have been questioning my due date since they gave it to me and it still doesnt make sence. My last period was September 5th to the 13th and i havent had one since but the doctor still put my due date for july 12. When i went in and had my ultrasound at 27 weeks and 6 days the baby was measuring 2 weeks ahead. I asked the doctor if my dates were right and all he said was" Oh he is just a big baby " i am scared that i am further ahead and if something happens and i go in to labor they will try to stop it and it will actually be the right time ........ What would you do if you were in my postion ???
just listen to the doctors. if you go into labor early then you go into labor early. no matter how hard they try to stop it, if it is truly time then you will have your baby.
Late ultrasounds are super innaccurate, so if you're basing your logic on a 28-week ultrasound, there's your problem. Early ultrasounds are the most accurate so I would base my logic on that instead. My baby had an EDD of May 30 based on my 8w2d ultrasound, yet measured May 24 at my 16w2d ultrasound. My EDD of May 31 is based on my LMP.
I would go by what the dr says. They arent trying to lie to you about your EDD. They asked you when was your last period was and then they looked at the wheel thing to figure out a EDD. My scan also told me that I was a week or so ahead but here I am still with no baby.
How long are your cycles? My LMP began on September 25 and my original due date was July 2, but my cycle was about 32 days and my doctor changed my due date to July 8. It is not unusual for baby to be measuring 2 weeks ahead. Remember its just an estimate. Unless you were charting and know when you ovulated, then I would just go with what your doctor says. He/She wouldn't stop your labor after 37 weeks anyway.
Re: due date vent .....
The size estimates are just that....estimates.
A lot of times, when they say baby is big, it just means they caught the kiddo right after a growth spurt.
Don't worry.
Doctors don't usually stop labor after 37 weeks so if you go into labor 2 weeks early you should be okay.
wow, you LMP was 6 weeks before mine, but we're only due 9 days apart?
how did they date that?

med/treatment free BFP 06/28/10. EDD 03/05/11 *** GIRL #2 (02/23/11)
