multiple due dates?

[ashdensmommy]

I have been given multiple different due dates from September 16- October 8th? I have tried different online calculators and all of them fall between these two dates. i had a 28 day cycle "normal cycle" as they call it. and i am not sure about ovulation. my last period was December 26, 2011. I am just curious when i should have my baby shower and of course when my daughter will be here! :) lol this is my second pregnancy but first healthy one <3 i am nervous and excited.

My last period was December 4th ( but ovulated a week off) and I am due September 18th.

Might not be true. I had a scan yesterday and was told my baby was 8 weeks 2 days. The scan before that was last Friday (so, 5 days) and was told the baby was 6 weeks lol

There are only 10 days between the due date for September 28 - October 8th so im not worried about that. My baby is measuring 1 week ahead of October 8th which would put me at October 1st and i am perfectly fine with that. i am really worried about delivering too early, on my moms side of the family, every woman has delivered from 28- 32 weeks no later. all of the babies were tiny. i am high risk and really just worry about everything from the span of different due dates to my family history.

Don't follow any online calculators. I had two dates & my Dr told be she was going by my last period. Though there was only a week gap I'm glad she made that clear.

Thanks! :) it was starting to freak me out when the doctor said your new due date is September 16, that is almost a whole month away from the October 8th due date. i just want a healthy baby thats all and im very nervous since the loss of my first pregnancy.  Im sure everything will be fine, it is just the big jump from sept. 16 - oct. 8 that has me worried

I would def go with the 8 wk one the earlier they are the more accurate as most 8 wk  babies will measure exactly the same :)  its not that big of a difference in dates but I would still go the earlier one :)

Thank you! :) at the very first scan they told me september 28, that scan was at 8 weeks. then at 12 weeks i had another scan that said October 8th.

if you have had a early dating scan, before 12 wks then go with the date they gave you with that, later scans are not so reliable as abaies grow at differing rates after the first tirmester :)
