due dates and ultrasounds. . . Posted: 06-01-08 23:03pm
I had an ultrasound when I was 6 weeks
along becasue I was spotting and the
doctor said I was due around September 18.
Planned parenthood told me the 19th,
another doctor told me the 22nd after my
second ultrasound and at my 20 week
ultrasound it came up near the 16th. So
all I know is that I'm having a baby
sometime in the middle of September. I
know that due dates are a guesstamate
anyway, and the chance of delivering on a
due date is unlikely. I was just wondering
how nornal it is for the doctors to be
unable to reach a consensus?

Within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy all
babies grow at the same rate. That is the
best time to see what the due date is. As
they get further along, its not as
accurate because babies then grow
according to predispositions with mom and
dads genetic codes.
