Frustrated.. Due date keeps changing!!

Ugh I'm really annoyed!! I know my dates, I know when I had my last period, and i can probably pin point the day I got pregnant. So my original due date was march 7th, I always knew in my mind this wasn't right. I went for my dating ultrasound and I though for sure I was 8 weeks 4 days, tech says 6 weeks 4 days. I thought there's no way I'm exactly 2 weeks behind. I go for My 20 week ultrasound and baby is measuring a week ahead; I think okay this seems to be a bit more on point as to where I think I'm at. Then my next few appts the doctor still says march 7th for my due date. Then around the time I need my rhogam needle he says oh wait!! You're due date is now February 20th which makes sense and is where I though I was. Now again it's changed back to march 7th :/ I just figure my little guy will come when he's ready. I still say I'm 2 weeks ahead of what I was originally told. My next appt I got to an actually OBS clinic, my family was able to do all my check ups up until third trimester, that's if I chose to. Then for the last couple months I go to obs. It worked out good in a way since the obs clinic is 40 minutes away from where I live. My doctor said they should be able to give me a better estimate as to when I'm actually due.. Anyway that's my rant, thanks for reading :)

    I have the same issue, at my 12wk u/a they told me the 2nd feb, at the 20 wk it was the 1st feb and at my growth scan at 32wks it now the 25th jan which with my lmp dates should be spot on (I thought the 27th until the first u/s) it irritates me too that it keeps getting changed around.

    Ultrasounds before 12 weeks are the most accurate, after that babies grow at their own rate. 

    I would stick with the first date.  It annoys the crap out of me when I hear OBs change the dates based on later ultrasounds.

    This. I would seriously side-eye any doctor who changed due dates that often and so late in pregnancy.

    I feel for you My doctor changed mine a few times, the first due date he gave me was Jan 2nd due to my LMP, even though I told him I had very irregular periods and knew I had ovulated because of temping and OPKs almost a month later. Then when he did the ultrasound he moved it to Feb 7th. I'm actually probably due Feb 1st or 2nd according to my dates.

    Mine has been the same way. According to my LMP my Due Date is 11 March, according to my O date its 8 March and according to my first scan its 6 March. My original OB was going with the 6th and then I switched offices and they changed it back to the 11th. No one will listen to me when I say I KNOW when I ovulated and it should be the 8th of March.. O well.. baby will come when she is ready I suppose.

    I have the 6th, 8th and 10th of jan. No big deal, it's only a few days. Now a few WEEKS I would be annoyed about.

    I'm 2 weeks off lol so that's why it's frustrating. My doctor is going with my original ultrasound which would make me due march 7th. He will come when he's ready, I keep telling myself this!

    I have a date calculated by LMP but my dr hasn't actually told me a due date himself and I'm 20 weeks tomorrow. My dr delivered my boss' son and she said her due date was changed 3 times in the last month by more than just a few days.

    Good luck!

    I go back and forth between the first four days of April. My current OB half the time doesn't even remember how far along I am (I'm currently switching doctors). But if you're delivering without a C-Section, I wouldn't worry too much, your baby will come when it's ready

    Agree with PP's... due dates +/- 2 weeks.... don't mean much of anything. Having a due date doesn't mean that your LO will come on THAT day... actually, it would be very rare if babies did come on their due dates.
