EDD confusion

in Pregnant after a Loss
Good morning, ladies!  Question: since I never got AF post-D&C the doc can only date my pregnancy by where I was measuring.  At my first u/s I was measuring 6 wks, 4 days so I was given an EDD of 8/7; at next u/s I was measuring 9 wks (when according to the previous u/s I should've been 8 wks, 4 days) moving EDD to 8/4.  When I had my first OB appt, the midwife said she saw dates of 8/7 and 8/5 written in my chart.  When I asked about it, she said: tell people sometime between late July and early August.  :)What should I go by?

    i have heard of some ladies having their dr switch their EDD, but i in general i've been told that most dr's go by the earliest u/s measurements because that's the most accurate. it's not uncommon for u/s to fluctuate, sometimes measuring a few days ahead, sometimes behind. so i'd go with 8/7.

    I agree with with this. Sometimes you'll be measuring ahead and sometimes a little behind, all normal depending on when you catch the baby in a growth spurt. I'd go with 8/7 also

    My Dr. Changed mine from 6/27 to 6/23.. what I did was kept my EDD the same and just changed my ticker to match his growth.

    I'd go with the later date, only because when it comes time to deliver, you don't want to get pushed into an induction if you don't want to.  Some docs can get antsy about inducing if your a bit "overdue".
