wonderland vent

I am a little upset I do not know what my due date is the doctor has waited this long to have anything looked into when it could be up to 6wks off...that's a big difference!

I had iud removed and irregular bleeding my doctor thought I had a false positive/chemical pregnancy prior to this pregnancy. Turns out that could not be the case.

I have been consistantly measuring 6wks ahead had a positive ffn this passed Thursday.....ultrasound for measurement day after tomm. I am somewhere bw 33/3439/40wks...it just freaks me out because idk if the ffn is detecting preterm labor or if it is normal bc ffn is normal at 37wks. And even after the u/s....it can still be off being so far along.

I.didn't have this issue with my two prior pregnancies and my ob was great then and very attentive. Now I can't say he is. I guess baby will come when she is ready....just sucks to be stuck in this wonderland of a gap.

Vent over.

I had u/s done, not for the purpose of dating, at 5 7 19 23wks. I asked about due date accuracy at the 5 and 7 but all she said was it was too early to tell if due date was right and it could be off.

I had 2 big babies and always measured on time.

The 6 wks ahead is fundal

I had an u/s done at 5w3d (initially thought I was 8-9 weeks at the time). It is not too early to tell (estimated) due date at that time. In fact, measuring the gestational sac (and what is visible at the time-yolk sac, fetal pole, absence/presence of heartbeat) can help distinguish how far along you are... Did your subsequent u/s match up for due date. (How did your 7 week u/s compare to your 5 week?) I also had an u/s at 11w4d (and it matched up perfectly with the due date from my earlier u/s) I had u/s at 19w1d, 23w1d, 27w1d, and 31w1d ("due date" accuracy is not as reliable at this point as babies grow at different rates) but LO is still measuring close to original due date from early u/s (sometimes a bit further along, sometimes right on track for the week)

They never told me...all they said was it was too early to tell both times. I know baby was 1.07cm long at the 7w but that's it. I wasn't too concerned w the due date accuracy in the u/s bc I never had that problem before...wish I would've paid more attention...just was concerned on if there was a baby in there at the time bc they thought I had a false positive prior

The later u/s have baby at 76thile in size and due date off by 5 days I believe. I wasn't really too concerned bc it was not abnormal.....but thenvi have had all of these preterm labor symptoms...positive ffn. I feel the due date is wrong.....I have showed/felt things extremly early....but that could just be bc its my baby 3
