had my first antenatal appointment yesterday was so exciting but the only thing that disappointed me slightly was that the midwife said with my due date she recommends going by the date done from the nuchal fold test which puts me back :( 5 days not a big deal but I was like aww I want to be going forward not back haha spoke to my doctor and she said well we will just go by that date. the thing is I feel that my date is more accurate because I had the date of my last period written on the calender so should I stick with mine or there's? I feel like this is such a stupied question cause the baby will come when he's ready and it's only 5 days difference. but I just wanted to know what other mums thought. :)
Definitely go by your own dates. My step mum told me to do the same. When she was pregnant with my brother they tried to say she was 2 weeks behind what she had worked out she was and he came on her own due date, not the doctors. Even though my due date only changed by like 3 days earlier, I just go off my original date :) xx
No no ur quite right to ask! I'd go off my last period date Hun... Definitely! Xx
omg that's horrible! it's quite disappointing hey? but also if midwives and doc now are going of that date when I get asked by like medical people how far along I am do I tell them my date or their date. I think I'm thinking about this to much lol
That's soooo annoying!!!! I think my due date got change like 4 times??? Was so frustrating until one day I got angry and said enough! Stop changing the date!!! It's from my last period! How baby is measuring shouldn't make a difference? I swear they just try to buy themselves more time! Lol if I was u hunni id go with ur last period date for sure!!! Xx
No worries x
