Hmm....should I change the date?

vtwd40

So, had my NT scan today. Everything went great, but baby wasn't really trying to cooperate. It took a really long time to get them in the right position. Now, based on my LMP, I should be 12weeks5days but based on my O date I should be 12weeks1day. Not a huge deal, but they said they would keep my LMP date because it was less than a week different. Baby has been measuring ahead of my O date though. Today it was exactly at my LMP, 12weeks5days. So, should I change my tickers? I know it's not that huge a deal, but since we're measuring ahead, I sort of feel like I should move things up a bit. I had just been using my O date from the start. I'd love to almost be a peach...though I know technically, I almost am anyways.

 Thoughts??

At my 12w u/s I thought I was 11w5d but I was measuring at 12w3d.  They say that the earlier number is usually the most accurate, and that they wouldn't change the due date.  I would just stick with what you originally had.  My OB said that it can fluctuate between 5-7 days, and LO could just get going through a growth spurt that week

Every time you get an ultrasound the date will change it seems. I would just leave it..

I guess I'll leave it for a bit. My first dating u/s put my due date at april 7th, my O date has it at the 9th, and my OB is telling me the 5th. I just left everything at the 9th. If things continue to keep me on track for the 5th I may change it later. At least I get to base my gender scan off their dates, which are almost a week farther along than my O date. Then, I get weekly u/s after 20 weeks because of my clotting disorder. I'll certainly get to see the growth....a lot!

I've been going by the date from my LMP.

It's tempting to change mine. I'm going to wait until I see the Dr again in 2 weeks though. I probably should go from my LMP since that's what they're doing.

I have four dates now: LMP, Ovulation (I felt it), u/s, and the one my MW came up with that's later than the rest to give me a better chance of getting in to the birthing center (they risk out at 41 weeks). I'm going by ovulation, which falls conveniently in the middle.
