Due date confusion?

Better yet confused on how far along I am. My ticker is based off my 1st u/s around 6wks and based off baby A. Now B has passed A and I am almost 11wks with B? How do you know what week you are in? I am not used to this. LOL

 

When you make your ticker, use your last menstrual period date. That is, if you know it. Your babies can always measure ahead or behind, so thats not necessarily how far long you are :ibiggrin: Hope this helps!

 

I do know it, but that would make me even further along than I am. My cycles are all messed up and I have 40+ day cycles. With my 1st & 2nd child I knew down to the day since we were using OPKS nad so forth. This time I have not a clue! I didn't even know I was pregnant at first. Hmmmm this is confusing. lol
HMMMMM that actually matches B dates now. I will use the LMP I guess. lol

 

Well I would say that you ask your OB then what date they are using and why and then use that! They should be knowledgeable enough to make an educated guess as to which date is most likely.

 

LOL hopefully the next time you see your doc, both of y'alls dates will match up! I never knew the length of my cycles, and my cycles we're all messed up from being on the depo shot. I also got pregnant while on the shot, so I went from the last period that I had before all of that nonsense started.

 

True very true. That is already on my list of questions for him. My single babies always measured ot the day on what I thought I was. This is new to me one baby getting ahead and then falling back and then they do it again. lol

 

With my first DD my cycles were incredibly long and my EDD did not match my LMP at all. My due date was based on my first u/s at 6 weeks and was actually 3 weeks later than what my due date would have been with my LMP. I would check with your OB and ask him/her what your due date is, then you can change your ticker based on that. :good:

 

I had some confusion with my dates and when I asked my doctor about it he said that they will go by the babies measurements at the first ultrasound.

 

I had a similar issue but we ended up with 3 different dates. I had one based on my LMP, the regular OB had theirs (which showed Baby B being behind, even though they're ID), and the peri's. All in all, we had a 5 day span that I'm not sure we'll ever figure out. In the end I just went with the per's since I saw him the most and it was what we were basing our timeline off of.
