what date should I go by?

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

OK so according to my Due Date I'm 17 weeks 2 days but according to the dates on my u/s I'm 17 weeks 3 day so which date should I go by?  I know it's only a day but I just am curious.

I think that since this is a leap year, it is throwing off many people's dates by one day.

i had two different dates to only by a day either august 19th or 20th, my doc said just to go by the first one that they gave me

My due date according to my LMP was September 2. My doctor hand measured me and  put me at 14 weeks when I was only 11 weeks. Had an u/s and that gave me a due date of August 27, lol. So six days off from my LMP!  This seems to happen with everyone of my pregnancys. I have went into labor befor the due date they give me any way:)  But I do know when my LMP was and when I concieved so..... babys come when they want to and they grow at diffrent rates:) Being that your expecting twin I really dont think that your EDD matters, lol:) You will more than likely have them early. Hope this helps. Have a good day:)

oh well actually I guess both dates are right Jacob measured according to the date on the u/s and Mekaila measured according to the EDD

At my last ultrasound they told me they only change your original EDD if it is more than 5 days different.

It doesn't really matter since my Dr thinks I'll deliver in July but I'm just curious

[Brown Eyed Gurl]

humm well my Dr gave me the due date of Aug 24th and my u/s say that EDD but then on the acutal dates on the u/s's on how far along I am it would mean my EDD would be Aug 23?  who knows

According to my dates im 18 weeks today but according to my scan im 17 weeks today.

According to my doctor im measuring 19 weeks so i have no clue!!!

I havent had a period in a year and fell pregnant on BC so your guess is as good as mine!! lol!!

The only thing the midwifr said to me is to remember that sperm lives in your body for upto 7 days so the day you had sex may not be the day you fell pregnant

Maybe some Doc's either count or don't count the 1st day of you LMP???  Not sure...just trying to come up with some rationale!

same w/ me...  by my due date i'm 26 weeks 4 days and by the docs i am 26 weeks 3 days...  i know my c-section will be scheduled so it won't matter for me, but i like to say i'm one day further!!!  :)
