due date
How in the world would i have gotten 3 different due dates by my ob? My lmp is june 5th which means my initial due date is March 12th did my first u/s and they told me march 28th. Went to my first high risk appt and they said baby is measuring to be where my due date is march 23rd. So which one do i go with?? My babies have a history of measuring on the smaller side so idk what to think or go with at this point.

I'd personally go with what the doctor told you, as conception and implantation is not exactly reliable based off of your LMP. So March 23rd? You don't want to use the earlier due date and then end up with a much smaller or unhealthy baby because of interventions on the misconception of baby being "overdue."
High risk doctors and MFM's have the knowledge and training and if the high risk doctor told you the 23rd that's what I'd go with.

But the u/s place said the 23rd but the mfm place said the 28th. So i should go with the later date?

Yea, I would trust the MFM over the ultrasound tech. Especially because the MFM has all of the experience with high risk pregnancies/babies.

You ovulated 2 weeks late, and your baby isn't growing perfectly on their growth scale (like most babies, because genetics etc. affects growth rate). Go with the first ultrasound date
