pregnancy

January 07, 2008

My last period was on April 3rd.I was to have another period on April 30th,2007.Did not have one went to Doctor on May 3rd,2007.Found out I was pregnant being only 3 days late.I was told my due date would be Jan 8,2008.At 36 1/2 weeks I had a ultrasound that said I was due Jan 2,2008.My question is is the ultrasound right on my due date or the doctor?

It's only a few days earlier but I was always told that only an ultrasound can change a due date and their measuring the baby to get an estimate on when you'd be due.

Welcome Shawntel!

Sar is right, and we hope you get all the info you need from this community...Ultrasounds never change the due date unless "they're off the mark" by a few weeks, depending on how far along the pregnancy is...if conception date is know, an ultrasound should almost never change the date...You have to consider that is a certain margin of error that is allowed when doing an ultraound...for which a few days are within this margin and you're ok...
