How common is it that a doctor changes your due date?

Question

I'm due March 4th

Answer 1

It depends on how sure you are of your last period and whether you are regular. I've only had one out of my three due dates changed, and it was the one I wasn't sure of my period for. Once you get your ultrasound they will decide if the baby is the right size for it's age, then they will change it or keep it the same.

Answer 2

I have never had my due date changed.

Everything is based on the information you tell your doctor...the first day of your last period and if an ultrasound is done that can also determine if the due date matches with your first day of your last period...if not then the doctor will change it.

I am 32 weeks pregnant and I measure right where I am suppose to be so everything that I provided to my doctor is correct.

Answer 3

Its very common. I'm a week off from remembering the 1st day of my last period. So they estimated due date of Feb 11th but the ultrasound measured the fetus @ 2.7 cm. which indicated 9.5 weeks and set the due date of Feb 19th. So who the heck really knows. He said at 20 weeks we'll check the size again then we'll determine if we need to change my due date.

Answer 4

My due date was changed by a week or more with both of my pregnancies. I am due on March 4th also. Good luck!

Answer 5

my doctor went by my last period and said that my due date is nov. 27 but the woman that did my ultrasound said that by the size of the baby it's dec. 4............ plus 2 out of my 3 friends who are preggers got their dates changed also

Answer 6

Pretty common. Mine's changed every time I've seen a new doctor. Mostly, though, it's because I couldn't remember when my last period was >.< ("was it Feb. 17, or Feb. 23??")
