Hey Ladies, Im soooo confused. My EDD was 28th August and 6 week scan said I was due 7th September, then my 12 Scan said I was a week and a bit further and the last scan I had at 22weeks said I was due 23rd August. I was told by midwife to go by first scan date as that is most accurate. (7th September) But two scans have said end of 23-28th August. What would I really go by? Baby also weighs approx 630gms, which by the books I have read is normal at 24 weeks. SOoo cnfused. Any suggestions. Shall I stick to 22 weeks or 24 weeks?? ------------- http://pregnancyplanet.net/tickers/">

Yep your midwife is right as babies grow at the same rate for the first few weeks so measurements are correct for dating. But in saying that its only a weeks difference and your due date can be 2 weeks either side. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

yap the earlier scan is ususally correct....but like Maria said 2 weeks either way. My scan was exact....well my early scan said 31 Oct 05 and later it moved up and down...Zaara was born 31 Oct 05.

poor you, it must be really fustrating not having a proper date to go by - and aim for. i would go with september, simply because if baby is early you get a surprise, but if you aim for august and baby is late..... ugh ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe -  my big 4 year old

i agree with everyone, the first scan date is the most accurate as the baby grows at a different rate.
i never had a real early scan with my first baby, but at the 20 week scan it had my dates at the 13th ocotber (edd lmp 10th octber) and then when i went in for a late scan to check bubs growth due to blood pressure etc...) it had my dates as 24th october. my daughter was born a few days later (at 39 weeks) weighing 6lb 2oz so was a reasonably small full term baby anyway! |

| I had the same thing. First scan said taine was due on the 11th, second one said 28th and he was born on the 17th. you'll probably give birth s9moetime in between. |
