Don't Know When I Got Pregnant

at the beginning of the pregnancy, they are just giving you an estimate of how far along you are...as your baby develops it may change and your due date my fluctuate...You will also have ulrasounds along the way to check on development and size and as you get closer to your due date, they will know when your baby is ready to be delivered. as long as you receive good pre-natal care, they will know when you are ready to deliver.

Ultrasounds are never 100% accurate in determining due date. Once you have another one they may change your due date. My sister had her's changed 3 times!! I wouldn't worry too much about it. Even if they are 2 weeks off in the estimate, 37 weeks is still considered term and your baby should be just fine. If you happen to go into labor on your own before then, you'll just have an "emergency" c-section!

I wouldnt worry, I have PCOS and never ovulate when I should, so with all 4 of my babies they need to do an ultrasound to get a due date. They werent off as far as I can tell, 3 of them delivered at 38 weeks and 1 at 37 weeks. If they notice things need to change, they will change them, which might mean an amno done, to make sure lungs are developed. I can tell you that no matter how prepared you think you are, you are never really ready for what can happen at birth. It could be nothing, it could be time in the NICU or whatever. So dont worry about and enjoy the fact there is a little being growing inside you and it will be a part of you and your husband. Its blessing. Congrats.

They could change your due date after the next ultrasound. The doctor actually told us that the due date is just an estimation. That going into labor 2 weeks before or after the due date is still considered a normal labor. I was scheduled for a c-sec because my son was breach. I ended up going into labor about a week ahead of time. They were still able to do the c-sec with no problems.

My due date was changed after a second ultrasound. ended up accurate then. Baby was breach so I had a C-section. My next one I had a scheduled C and went into labor4 1/2 wks early. My doctor suggested a V-back because he would be small and it would be better for his lungs. So I got to experience both types of deliveries whether I wanted to or not, but everything turned out great. Don't fret cause a lot can be clarified in time, and the baby will come it wants! good luck!

You will probably have a 20 week ultrasound and if the baby is measuring diffrent then the date by a lot they will probably change your due date. Mention your concernes to your Dr. I am sure this happens all the time. The due date for my daughter was changed because she was measuring small, but she ended up coming four weeks early so maybe it was right the first time. Babies come when they are ready:)
