help with my due date?
when i went for my 12 week scan and they were doing the measurements the baby was measuring at due on the 15th april! which put me forward 6 days! BUT the lady said i wont bother changing it as its not a week so wont make much difference! i said but 6 days is still alot and she still refused to change it?
my friend whos due 2 weeks after me went to a diff hosp and they moved her date by a few days?
iv got midwife today and im going to ask her to change it on my notes because my argument is, that if i was to be overdue id actually be going over by 20 days and not 14 which is the cut off for going over?? can i request another dating scan? or will they measure baby at my 20 week scan and change dates? im really worrying about this and even though i planned to be induced because of previous pre eclampsia i actually wouldnt be induced early enough because my due date is wrong? does this all make sense? i dont know where i stand with this? midwife at 11.15 so any answers before then would really help? thanks ladied for reading xx

As for going 20 days over, other than it being annoying, I don't think it's a cause for concern particularly. On the continent, it's standard to let pregnancies run for around 44 weeks depending on where you are.
Try not to worry too much.
They moved me by only 4 days, maybe every hospital is different but I too would want them to change it on my notes.
Let us know how u got on

Would you actually be induced early this time because of previous PE, even if you weren't showing any symptoms?? I had PE last time too but other than being more closely monitored in the pregnancy and having to deliver in hospital this is a clean slate in terms of going into labour. Unless of course symptoms start again and then they'd deal with it the same way as last time. I was induced at 37+6 and want to avoid induction again if possible!!
my midwife wanted me to be under consultant because of the pe and that with my weight im more of a high risk? she said im more than likely to develop it again as pregnancy just puts too much of a strain on my body as im starting to suffer from spd again and even earlier than before! id like to avoid being induced but i suppose with close monitering a decision will be made nearer the time by myself amd the consultant so for the moment im just thinking of every aspect and wanting to know my actual due date so iv got something more concrete x
