My LMP was July 5th, so I should be due April 11th. Well in August I ended up in the ER with cramping and they did an U/S to make sure it wasn't ectopic. It was a normal pregnancy, and they gave me a due date of April 8th based on development. Then I finally got into see my OB last week, and they said ultrasounds before 20 weeks mean nothing and they changed my EDD back to April 11th. I know it's only 3 days difference, and I'm probably just being petty and hormonal but dammit, I've always been told that info from U/S trump everything else.
Plus, I've been having dreams over and over that I've had a missed miscarriage, and they won't do an U/S until 20 weeks no matter what. Just so frustrated!
Thanks for letting me vent.
Re: EDD change *vent*
ugh I know it's frustrating the same happened to me. I calculated April 15th u/s shows April 20th.. I've been 11 weeks for what feels like FOREVER! lol
With my first they just based my EDD on a 28 day cycle I were convinced they were wrong and due date should of been on a 35 day cycle. (i had no only 1 u/s in my first pgNT u/s) DD was born 3 wks early from EDD at 8.5lb this time they are basing it off a 35 day cycle.. I'm so nervous that I'm going to have a 12lb baby at this point if LO doesn't come early on its own!
I'm sorry about your dreams and stress. :
My insurance won't pay for anywhere else, but it's a group practice where I never know who I'll end up with in L&D. I do get to see my favorite (I had him with my last pregnancy) for one last appointment before he moves to Arizona (Arizonans are very lucky to get him!). I see him Tuesday for "abnormal pap" check (seems I get them whenever I'm pregnant). I will beg and plead then for an u/s. Hopefully he'll order one before he leaves. I'll feel SOOO much better if he does!
P.S. It wasn't him that I saw that frustrated me!
You might be feeling extra sensitive, but in the grand scheme of things this is not something to freak out about. Think about back in the day [as recently as 30 years ago] that they didn't have near the monitoring or EDD tools we have now!
