Ultrasound! What?!

So, I had my gender scan today! @ 17 weeks, 5 days.. Well I noticed during the ultrasound that the screen said 18 weeks, 2 days.. So I asked why it said that and she said that it's only a 3 day difference.. I am very confused now.. Does this mean my due date is still the same? Help lol.

Yeah your due date is still the same
Sometimes baby starts taking after mom or dad characteristics like long legs so they measure ahead

Yes your dd would still be the same. They don't typically change it unless there is a very large difference, like 2 weeks or more. Mine was 4 days ahead when I went.

due date is the same I'm guessing
our baby was measurin 5 days ahead but doctor said no reason to move the date

That's what your baby is measuring at, not what your due date is.

It is common for them to measure ahead a few days to a week or so closer to your due date. You still should go by your original due date.

Yes its normal and no they won't change your due date

So does this mean that I still ovulated/conceived when I think I did? just wondering because I thought I knew for sure after when I ovulated but this made me think well maybe I was wrong lol. Thank you girl's!

Yes. Its just that the baby is measuring different. My son measured off from his due date during every ultrasound. He never measured right on except for the dating scan.

My baby was measuring 5+ days ahead at my u/s at 21w and they didn't change my EDD. I'm measuring 1-2 weeks ahead fundal height as well but all those things just could mean a bigger baby or weird position.

Unless baby was measuring 2+ weeks ahead, your OB likely won't change your EDD. Its just an estimate anyway

Ok thank you ladies!

your due date usually stays the same.. there were times that my sons growth was 2-3 weeks ahead of the EDD. just remember, it's a estimation
