Dates?

DOES anyone know bout the dates when your babys are due?

Bec my last period was on august 28, 2012. But the doctor has my due date June 19, 2013, and she has me at 25 weeks right now.  Souldn't it make me not 25 weeks tommorrow.  But the cau of the due date is giving my may 06, 2013. they mesured the baby at 25 weeks, and not by the day i had my last period.

Any comments please!

To figure out the due date you subtract three months from date of last period and then add 7 days,  which by your last period puts the due date around june 4, but if you ovulated a lil late which happens frequently and you had an early ultrasound your due date may get pushed back a week or two. An early pregnancy ultrasound is very accurate, once the pregnancy progresses measurements vary due to fetal growth patterns. Hope this helps!

Yes the 28th of August is the first day of my last period.

Is the 28th the first day of your last period? The first day of my last period was Aug 22 and my due date is may 29 ..... I'm 28 weeks today.  Considering that those Aug dates are pretty close together the 19th of June seems a little off.

Continue to go based off of the original due date that they gave you. Usually after the first trimester baby can measure 2 weeks ahead or behind. It is normal. But just go based off of original date.

i always had irregular periods...had to take tablets for induce thm....for me my last period was oct 1 bt according to that my due date should be july 8 bt my doc told that i had ovulated late so they given my due date at july 28...they said that every period doesnt need ovulation to take place ,if line of uterus become thick they will shed...so ovulation dates can vary...everything is alright as long as there is a contant growth rate for baby  that if ur baby is 2 weeks ahead thn on every othr scanning it shold be 2 weeks ahead....hope ths helps(sorry if confuses you more)

That's weird because I had a miscarriage nov 30 and the first day of my last period was aug 27 and my due date was June 10th.. But it really all depends on what your baby measures that determines your weeks ...

My last period was Sept 5th and I'm due June 12th. Are you sure your due date is not like June 5th? Plus, they go by when u ovulate. If your not a normal 28 day cycle then it could be a little later.

My Dr said the ultrasound you get around 9 or 10 Weeks is the best indicator as far as due dates goes...and that the rest are just indicators of the baby's growth. Although, a big baby is more likely (but not guaranteed) to come early.

Either way, you know the due date is +/- 2 Weeks, right? That baby will come out whenever it and your body wants (unless you can convince your doc to do a C-section).

Technically, it's 40 Weeks from your last period...not 40 Weeks of baby making.

Finally sumbody is kinda in my shoes.....my last period was Oct 2nd 2012 and my original due date was july 9th. I had a ultrasound on feb 19th and was told im 2wks further which at the time put me at 22wks instead of 20wks. If they ate right then im 24wks today either my lil boy is jus big. But that would mean I was pregnant 2wks before my period came which I dont think is correct...so the diff in my.due dates are about a week so your baby could jus be growing faster or slower I guess....i really dont know.

Are you basing it off of 40 weeks or 9 months.
