Seems lots of people are due in september nothing to do with christmas and new years 9 months before I am sure!
Anyway back to the topic. With my first dd i had a scan at 6w1d due to prior m/c and she measured right on. So we never changed my due date. I'd been on the pill for about 7 years prior to first preg and then got preg again almost straight away. Before the pill i'd had 31 day cycles but they were about 28 days the few times i got them after going off it so i think my due date was either the 4th august or 1st aug one was done by doc and other by ob. I didn't have another scan till 14wks by which stage she was about a day or two bigger than av.
This time i have been given a due date of 30 june. My 12wk scan measured the baby about 4days ahead but there's no dicussion of changing my due date. which i found funny cause a friend of mine had hers moved for a 4 day dif. guess it depends on the doc.
BTW at my 19wk scan the baby now measures 1 full week ahead. Though i know they wouldn't change the date then.
They really only get funny about dates if the baby is early it seems. I was reasked my lmp date when my dd was in the nursery and they reccalculated her age based on that to verify how old she was. A friend had a similar experience in that she went at about 34wks. Since she didn't knwo she was preg and didn't find out despite testing being done until 13wks her due dates varied siginificantly and were changed at just about every appointment. She ended up with a two week period of possible due dates and the hosp took the latest due date when the baby made it's unexpected arrival to be on teh cautious side. In the end they were probaby wrong cause he spent 2wks there and was good to go. His mum is tiny so it shoudl have been expected he would be on teh smaller side.
