Is my due date wrong??

I am currently 36 weeks pregnant (supposedly) and am unsure about my due date. I had abnormal and missed periods so my last menstrual period does not work for determining my due date. At around 10 weeks, I had a dating ultrasound and they determined that I was due on October 16th. The problem is, at 35 weeks, my ultrasound said that the baby was already nearly 7 pounds and all of the measurements said 38 weeks. Also, when they measured from my pubic bone to the top of the uterus, it also measured three centimeters bigger than it should have. I am just curious if anyone who has had a dating ultrasound has had their baby on or around when their supposed due date was. OR, did you deliver earlier?/ later??? Please offer me some insight if you have dealt with this at all... I am getting very anxious and uncomfortable and am just wondering what other women have experienced.

Is my due date wrong??
Shut up ******. Leave 7lb9oz Josh alone for crying out loud. He can camp out at the Marti Inn as long as he wants. Be happy that he isnt here yet so you dont have to have him suckling on your breast 24/7. Naw, just kidding, he'll be here soon.
Reply:Well, my due date was August 30th, and I delivered on August 31st.

Good luck!
Reply:The problem with ultrasounds and qualitative HGC titers (blood tests for pregnancy that tell you how far along you are) is that they are ranges. You are supposed to allow for two weeks before and two weeks after the "due date" given to you. Meaning you could either be around 34 weeks, which it sounds like you are not, or around 38 weeks. 38 Weeks sounds about right for you.
Reply:According to my ultra sound and regular measurments I measured two weeks bigger my whole pregnancy, My doctors DID not and WOULD not change my due date. I was unsure of the date of my last period because I was on birth control and had to count back the weeks and assume the date.





My son ended up being overdue. When my water broke it was not clear, meaning he definatly was ready to come out!


Meconium was in my amniotic fluid.





We had alot of complications during the labor, due to this, I wish they would have moved my date, maybe we could have avoided an emergency c section due to his fetal distress.





Here is a little more on the effects on meconium druing birth.

I am not telling you this to alarm you, but to let you know from my experince why I wish my MD would not have been so hard headed!





Talk to your MD about your concerns. Ask what the pos/cons of being overdue are. They can offer you better medical advice than I can.
