1st Trimester

Due date changed... what could this mean

My US today showed the baby at only 9 weeks.  I know it only changed a week, but I pretty sure of when this LO was conceived.  Why could the baby be measuring small? 

Just curious... not worried.

Re: Due date changed... what could this mean

  • Oh, man! That is disappointing. Might be you have a small baby or might be a miscalculation. Whatever the reason, just remember that baby comes when baby wants to and the EDD is only an estimate. Babies frequently come 2 weeks early or late by their own choice, not a date the doctor put on a calendar.

    Even if you know when you ovulated/conceived, it could have taken a while for the sperm to swim to the egg, or implantation could've taken longer than "normal". As long as baby is growing and healthy it's all good

  • I think when they do the measurements they are about estimating whats right. I mean I was suppossed to have a 5lb baby and she was 6 15oz!!! So yeah you shouldnt worry.

  • it probably means nothing.  maybe you ovulated late, maybe your babe was scrunched up when he or she was measured. 

    that happened to me last time with lula and she is fine.  i'm obviously not a doctor - but when i went in for my 9 week appt. i measured 6 weeks.  based on my LMP i calculated my due date at may 16th and the measurements put me at june 6th.  she was born may 19th.  sooooo - i'm pretty sure i was right all along.  take it for what it is - a complete estimate. :)

  • my son always measured a week late and was born 15 days early.. i think it's hard to be exact sometimes even in an ultrasound.
