My daughter measured a week ahead, but they wouldn't change my edd. it's my understanding that they only move it up if it's over a week ahead. My sil measured two weeks ahead and they still kept hers the same.

My dr said they won't move my date even though baby is measuring about a week earlier.   So I guess I have to wait and see.

All of my pregnancies have measured further along on my later scans and my doc eventually would up my due date by abt a week..I have bigger babies!! Three 9 lbers!! This little guy measured a week n a half bigger last week but my doc doesn't up my date until later @ my 30 something week scan..;-)

The only reason it will change is if there is more than a weeks difference. My daughter just had her scan yesterday & she went from 19 wks 2 days to 20 wks & 4 days.

Hi, i dont think they do, i thought it was only your dating scan at the beginning that could because up until then they go off your last period which can be out quite a bit, i know they say the earlier the scan the more accurate they can date the pregnancy as some babies are obviously bigger or smaller than others later on so they just check the development! so Im pretty sure after your dating scan your due date doesn't alter. hope this makes sense and helps Xx
