I only wish we had looked at the dates again before we came so far. Even though I know that I am only five days over 40 weeks because I have been looking at 3 May as my due date for so long I think I have brainwashed myself into believing this date - I actually thought that the 3 May was my date as we have three dates written on our ante-natal record (24/4, 3/5 and 9/5) then when I rechecked it wasn't; it was the date they provided at the NT scan & for some reason I took this on board as the due date.

Funny thing I remember when I was having the NT scan the woman doing the scan asked if we had had a dating scan & I said no, we knew when conception was so we didn't think we needed one. She must have done it then.

I am not usually so easily hoodwinked but the NT scan was a very anxious time for us as this was the time in my two previous pregnancies that we found out our babies had died. I can only think I (we) were so overwhelmed by the heartbeat and good results that we weren't focusing on the dates. On top of that I was very very sick & on the verge of being admitted to hospital so there was a lot going on.

It is good that I did look though before any decisions were made around the date....phew!
