due date accuracy?

How accurate were your Dr.'s due date predictions based on baby measurements during ultra sounds? First they said march 30 then changed it to march 25, but if I count backwards 40wks from march 25, I was on my period at that time...?

The further along you get in gestation the more accurate the date :)

My due date is April 24, and my last two doctors appointments my doctor has moved my date up a couple days. She told me to keep my original due date because they were only a couple days difference

Based on both of my babies measurements I was ovulating at the time my first sons due date was 12 days after the first day of my last period and my second sons due date was 10 days after and they were pretty accurate

They count it from the first day of your last period. My due date is today based off of the first day of my last period being May 5th, and ultrasound confirmed it.
