36+5 due date change and moving

[Jb815]

Hi All,

I just had my date changed to 12/4 due to baby measuring larger than 12/15. I am having extreme anxiety about the change because I am moving on 12/1. Haven’t had any labor signs but a little cramping

Are you based in the UK? I've never heard of dates being changed at such a late stage, I've only ever heard of larger babies being induced slightly early rather than due dates being changed. Babies are normally considered term by 37 weeks so could arrive anytime after that, only 3 to 5% of babies actually come on their due date so it's only ever really an estimate so try not to be too anxious about the due date.

Can you get some extra help with the moving? Having a baby and moving are tw of the most stressful things in the world, I wish you all the luck with both xx

exactly. My oN said the same thing you just said to the sono doctor. So I have a appointment to determine if I’ll get induced early. I only have S/o and his family here in Washington DC, hopefully they will induce so I’ll have a set time, but pregnancy is so unpredictable
