how many of u r sure on dd?

[kellylou]

Just wondering how many of you are sure of due date? Like most i was in the ttc forum so was hot on dates of last period etc cos in my book it said babies that are late due to miscalc on dates of last period suppose it cld be another myth???

Accordin to my dates I'm due 31st jan so will b interestin to see wen he arrives.

I have NO idea when my last period was before falling pregnant, and it wasn't even a 'real' one cos I'd literally just come off the pill and it was random bleeding. So I made up a date at my booking in (as you do), and that gave me 3rd Dec as my due date, then it was changed to 7th at my 12 week scan.
But then at my 20 week scan I was 20+2 and the screen said baby measured 19+6, so I won't be overly worried if I go overdue...just a bit bored!

i had no idea of the date of my last period either but knew it was roughly before valentines day, this was cos i had been on the injection for just under 5 years or so and was really unregular up until falling pregnant so im totally going by what ive been told at my scans.
I hope they have got it right lol cos im due tomorrow and cant take anymore of this. I thought with her being my second i would have gone earlier and my midwife said 2 weeks ago that she had a feeling i would have her by the end of that week so really confused and angry in a way im still sat here pregnant but obviously its better for baby the longer she is in there as long as everything going ok!

I'm sure on dates, I made a note of everything - was trying to get into good habits as I thought it would take us ages to conceive. I thought wrong lol! The main thing that could throw things out is that my cycle is shorter than the average, so most of the online calculators were putting my due date later. Scan says 8th, I calculated 11th, online calculators say 15th.

I have always thought 29th but early on they said 1st so i am curious as now all the family think he will be here on 1st x

I'm 100% sure my due date is 4th as hub n I only had sex ONE time that month!! So there is no room what so ever for any doubt. Plus the night we concieved, we had been to watch my best friend in a show, which I still have the ticket for, so there is no question at all about the date. My 12 week scan said I was due 15th Dec, which I knew was totally wrong. We've been having soooo many arguments with the hospital about my due date because I am 100, 100% certain that I'm due on the 4th. I guess we will find out! I hope it is true that babies come on time based on conception because I'll be a wreck if I go too far over due because the hospital haven't yet decided when they would induce me!! I posted a thread in Ask A Mum a few weeks back about when people's babies were born in comparisson to LMP/OV/Scan...you might find it interesting xxx

 

[sexyamy2005]

according to my last period i was due on the 21st,
12wk scan showed 23rd,
20 week scan (going by the 23rd, was showing baby at 22wks....

so im 40+4 according to the 12wk scan... 42+4 according to my 20wk scan...

and im STILL HERE with no baby, im starting to hate all the labour watches that are poping up, cos ive got no signs or sypmtoms watsoever... got consultant on tuesday tho so i think i will cry if they dont give me a sweep or inductions date.. according to bump measurements on tuesday (when i was 40wks) im measuring 45cm...... im only 5ft 1 so kinda worried im gona have a 9lb baby that will be in 0-3 month old clothes straight away n miss out on that tiny newborn stage

I think I'm due on the 29th really not the 24th becase of my dates, then they changed it to 24th on the 12 weekscan, but now I'm measuring 2 cms too small which goes back to my dates. Will be interesting! I also have a wierd feeling I'm not going to make it to my due date.... We will see x

 

[Sam's Mum]

Toby was induced 2 weeks late and it definitely wasn't due to miscalculation as I found out when I was 3 weeks 3 days - so if they'd miscalculated I would have tested before I conceived! The dating at the 12 week scan is usually pretty accurate though x

 

[x.Lilly.x]

I always just thougt you go by your due date they give you and that thats the right one?
I didnt know they could be wrong edd?
Oooh if you know when your last period was how do you work out your edd from that??

 

[kellylou]

I did it on the net as we were ttc knew when my period was but trust me it was in feb so a funy ol month which is y i got 29th and y docs got 1st but then it got changed on my first scan back to current due date x

 

[JJ Mum]

My due date from all early scans at 8 plus 6 and 10 weeks said Jan 19th, which meant I would have concieved a full 7/8 days after I last had sex! So don't believe that. and then at the 12 weeks scan they found me 5 days out not 7, from my dates, so they have a policy not to change dates if change less than 7 days! So I am still with the 12th Jan. Having baby into the 39th week anyway due to section, so not sure what that would mean for baby!! I'm like Flexi Lexi , and for some strange reason, I don't think I will get that far this time, but prob will if dates are out, so we will see.

Your baby will arrive when ready, but dead interesting when they will arrive tho isn't it.
I guess conception can take a few days too, and every baby arrives early, due or late so don't think any baby can be predicted fully - hope you kick off soon this Kelly

my midwife had my dd as 6th feb, the 12 wk scan said 10th feb and i had to have an extra scan and it said 12th feb. I know its not much between but its still confusing as midwife still goes by the dd at my 12 week scan? x

 

[LouLou1986]

they say with due dates two weeks before and two weeks after baby can arrive, the due date is just the middle off this period, thats what my midwife said last time, and codie was 8 days "late"

okies, thanks x
