Okay so from my ultrasound that was given Monday, it showed I was 7weeks exactly... giving me a due date of oct 31. Problem is, my last period was jan 11, meaning if you calculate my due date from then, I would be due oct 18. So which one do I go by ? Its confusing !

    The Dr's usually go by the measurement. With my first my original due date was November 8 then it changed to the 18th, which I swore wasn't right. Do you know when you ovulated?

    Depends. Usually your due date is the first day of your last period. If u know that then go from there. Also don't think of the actual date think due week. Really a pregnancy is anywhere from 37 to 42 weeks.7 weeks is early too. Hopefully they do another ultrasound and I can ask the time line again

    I would go by the earlier one for now. When baby is bigger, they can judge a little more accurately.

    Ultrasound, so oct 31. Mine with my period was august 28.. but ultrasound showed august21st.... its all on how big the baby is and how far along it measures

    @NatalieL I would believe I started ovulated jan25... which is logical for the 18 th being my due date but ultrasound says I'm not that far.
    @Shmegs how is 7 weeks too early ? I've heard the heartbeat and everything at exactly 7 weeks gestation.

    That's wierd cuz I'm 7 weeks and my due date is November 3rd

    @HomeBirthAdvocate that is smart ! I just wish I could knowwhich one to rely on instead of just waiting it out. my situation is tricky
  • armywife110208armywife110208
    @tanguiano that's because I'm 7w4d as of today... I'm only due four days before you, oct 31
  • tanguianotanguiano

    Go by the ultrasound. Early ultrasounds before 10 weeks are extremely accurate! They are only off by 1 or 2 days. Later in pregnancy they can be off as much as 3 weeks, but not in early pregnancy. Your doctor will be going by the ultrasound due date, so that's what you should go by too hun :)

    My last period was January 11. & my estimated due date is October 18. So, it was exactly right. I'm nine weeks almost four days. That's so weird. Someone else posted the same thing & they are due the 31 instead of the 18.

    see how confusing it was ? thats crazy but I guess I'm going by the ultrasound due date

    My doc said same thing--the early ultrasounds are extremely accurate. They changed my due date to suit my first ultrasound too. So far, everything has been spot on growth/development-wise w/ new due date (27 weeks along). That is really neat you're due on Halloween! Congrats!

    ok so if it says I'm 7 weeks and some days by ultrasound but its clearly not counting from my last period, is the baby still 5 weeks and I'm in my 7 week of pregnancy ?

    I am 7 w today last menst.1/28 &ovulated.2/11 due date 11/4
  • armywife110208armywife110208
    See yours makes sense... my last menst was 1/11 nd I would think I ovulated between 1/24 - 1/30 ... but my due date is oct 31... which would have made me conceive 2/07 and its not adding up... I woulda believed my due date would be oct 18 seeing as though my last menst was 1/11
