Hi there girls,

Now, I am just wondering... about ultrasound scans, I know they aren't overally accurate for your due date and all. But I had a scan at 6 weeks to find out my due date, its the first thing my doctor sent me for, he said the earlier the scan the more closer to the due date they will get?

However this 6 week scan showed I was due on the 11th April. And I had another scan (which was meant to be the routine 12 week scan) at 14 weeks, because thats when I could get in here, and my due date showed 20th April? Thats a difference of 9 days which isnt that great. And my OB at the hospital said they take it on the scan closer to the 12 week one cause its more accurate? I am hearing different things from everywhere.

Another thing is he's been turned upside down since 27 weeks too, which made mw think it was a little early compared to my last (she turned at 34 weeks), and his head is already starting to engage, and I am 32 weeks (going by the due date of the 20th) - When I could possibly be 34 weeks which sounds a little more right?

Does anyone know which scan is meant to be more accurate I dont wanna be freakin out if he decides to come, and I would be thinking he is premmy cause of my due dates being wrong - when in fact he could of been coming on time if you get what I mean?

What have your doctors told you about due dates and the accuracy of the scans - like which one would be more closer the earliest or the routine 12 week one?
