Dating scan

Just wondering how many peoples dating scan changed their expected due date? Does it vary much. Ive got mine 2 weeks today and just wondering if my date will change much. At the moment im due on babys aunties birthday which is quite nice as i was born on my aunties birthday. I know most first time mums go over their date but will be nice to tell auntie to be baby due on her birthday x

My calculated dates have always been a within a day of dating scan. But if say, you have irregular periods, it can be quite difficult to get it accurate without the dating scan. Good luck on being right. My daughter was born on a friend's brother's birthday, and he's been chuffed ever since, and they are pretty much best buddies now

My edd was 1 week different than my dating scan. My last 3 children were born on my husbands sister, her daughter and son's birthday which we found funny and amazing. This baby is not due on any 1's. Birthday although my husbands mum, brother and nephew has a birthday in november so let's wait and see

Good luck for your dating scan. What I think if your dating scan is different than your edd its better as your baby might be here sooner although you could go over but hey what does it matter your going to have a gorgeous baby soon xx

I had 6 early scans starting at 5+1 weeks right down to 11+3 all confirming that my measurements were exactlyaccording to my period.

But then I have my 12 week scan at 12+2 and they say I'm actually 12+6 which changed my due date by 4 days.

I didn't understand how everything can match then all of a sudden in the space of a week there is such a change.

I guess it's the rate that the baby is growing at before a certain gestation age that determines on when they are due.

With my little man I was put back 2 weeks with my dating scan as I was on the contraceptive pill at the time so didn't have a period as such. I am now expecting baba no.2 and have an educated guess of when I am due atm as I was still breastfeeding my little man when I conceived, so don't actually know when I ovulated, but know when my husband and I were together so can roughly work it out. It was hilarious when the midwife asked when my last period was and I said May 2018 ROTFL.

Tbh the date given at any scan is a guideline. Baby will put in an appearance when they are ready!!!

My little boy was 2 weeks early. Dating sacan just gives you estimation based on the growth of the baby compared to an average one. I wouldn't put too much faith in it 😂I know only one person who gave birth on the due date.

Good luck on your scan xxx
