Why won’t they do another scan and why didn’t you have a dating scan at 12 weeks
There are a lot of reasons someone might not have a 12 week scan. Including not having a radiology place near to them and some people like me who skip periods won’t necessarily know they are pregnant at 12 weeks.
I always go by the old rule of 9 months and 7 days for a pregnancy from the LMP. It's the most accurate.
That makes you due 17th March. Even tho your baby can really arrive at any time.
I was given a three month window of due dates 😂
As long as your dates are with in a reasonable time frame don’t be too worried. They sound pretty reasonable to me.
To explain: pregnancy was unplanned and it wasn’t unusual for me to skip periods as I was a dancer. The doctors, taking it on my last period was incredibly inaccurate.
The ultrasound was pretty close.
My first EDD was 15th June (by LMP on 13th Sept), second EDD was 19th June by my 12 week ultrasound. Third EDD was 9th June by my 20 week ultrasound. Baby finally arrived 25th June 🤣
Don't stress too much. Baby will come when s/he's ready.
What is it about September with you Lol, it's your horniest month by far!!
She's talking about the one pregnancy
All of my due dates changed, my first changed 4 times! Every pregnancy after that I just thought it was normal and would only say the month I was due instead of the date because I just expected it to change.
Every ultrasound I had it changed, not too dramatically, though, just go with the flow.
Can’t believe I remember this, he is 12, but here goes:
My calcs 17/11
First ultrasound 21/11
Second ultrasound 24/11
Third ultrasound 25/11.
He was just a tick over 3kgs, maybe because he was on the small side, born 18/11, which they called 39 plus weeks, I called 40 weeks plus one day lol
I’m currently 8weeks pregnant and I’m about 2weeks behind my expection due date from first day of last period being 21st December I should of been due on the 29th of September
But at my dating scan I was measuring 5wks 2 days due date 13th October
Babies come when they want to. The doctors give you a date but really it’s all
an approximate guess and a just in case it’s premature or overdue and needs extra support. My son was due 25 July and born 8 July. I thought I had at least another 2 weeks to organise myself! I wouldn’t worry about the date as the majority of babies aren’t born that day.
