    According to my LMP he is growing on the 55th percentile. but according to the ultra sound he is only growing on the 38th
    cant be much help, but did they put the EDD ahead? theres still alot of time for bub to be packing on the weight. scans can be very inaccurate. id be sticking to my LMP its one thing a text book or machine cant change!! best of luck

    yep, they moved my edd from the 7th to the 4th, but my edd should be the 11th... thats according to lmp and ovulation (as i was charting)

    speaking from my experience with the EDD put forward...
    DD was EDD from LMP 11th july at the 18 week scan her thigh? bone was measured and they put it forward 1 week (which 2 me didnt make sense) she ended up being born on her original due date! she was a long baby, little signs of overcooking but weve since learnt she has a dry skin condition so it could have been that.. since you were charting, how can they just dismiss that information??!! grr

    well my lmp was the 1st december 06 and i ovulated on day 18/19 so that would make me due on the 10/11...th.
    i am sure that the week difference in due date that they could have entered into the system would have given me a higher percentile wouldnt it?

    this is all silly.... why the hell am i freaking out?

    because thats what us mothers do

    I wouldn't worry too much. I think alot of the girls who are trying to conceive know exactly when they O'd, most books, charts, programs etc.. go on the average 28 day cycle. The book I have says that accoring to your LMP your EDD would be 7th, if they bought your date forward to the 4th, your bub is actually big for his size. The same book I got also says by up to 30 weeks your bub would measure 28cm from crown to rump and weigh about 1.5 kg. Your measurements/weight sound fine to me.
    Other books I have, have slightly different information. My bub is measuring a little bigger that EDD, based on LMP, but think I o'd a couple of days earlier that usual. When the Ob was presented with the info she said we would still keep the EDD as it is only an estimate. Everything will turn out fine.
