I don't remember my last period, but according to an ultrasound that was preformed when I was 10 weeks, I am 33 weeks pregnant, so my delivery date is March 9. Only that at 28 weeks, I had another ultrasound and that changed my delivery to February 19, because the head of the baby at the time had:
femur lenght- 28 weeks
abdominal circumference- 32 weeks
diameter of head- 33 weeks
doctor say it was nothing wrong expect that the baby might be growing a little bigger, but I am not sure when will be my delivery date. Has anyone experience this situation, and when was the real delivery date?

I haven't, but I would talk to yor doctor. My doc and both my ultrasound techs told me that the most accurate ultrasound to predict the fetus's age is right around thirteen weeks, so I would bet that the first was correct. In the third trimester, fetuses grow the most. Some end up being 10lbs and some are 5lbs - depends on genetics, so I wouldn't go by how big your baby is at 28 weeks.

Remember that the ultrasound can be off by as much as a pound, and for a little baby, that's a lot! They are only estimates, and many times are very wrong. I would suggest talking the doctor into using March 9 as your due date. The difference between March 9 and Feb. 19 is huge! If your due date was really March 9, but they switched it to Feb. 19, they would start talking induction by a week later. In that case, while they are thinking that your a week overdue, by you baby's standards, you'd be having him/her 2-4 weeks early! Talk with your doctor, and find out what he would do in that situation.

An internal ultra sound is more accurate than an external. but there are a few factors that can cause confusion. It did for me. My son's father is 6foot 8" and I'm just shy of 6 feet myself.I was ALWAYS asked if I was sure of my due dates. When I explain the height thing it stopped the date questions. My son was 8 weeks early and was 6 pounds 2oz. In short baby will arrive when ready, don't worry about it too much. Good luck

The best date to go by is your original date, the U/S technitions say that the earlier the U/S the better they are at knowing your estimated due date regardless of the baby's size.

do not stress. you've a even as to practice your self. 2 activities which could also help you immensely are: a million. study, study, study! - "what to anticipate once you're searching ahead to" and "The Happiest infant on the Block" are a pair books that could want to somewhat inform you. also, in case you intend on breastfeeding you should genuinely make investments on your man or woman reproduction of "The Womanly artwork of Breastfeeding". 2. Take a kind- Yeah, confident you may want to take a prenatal type which will inform you all about exertions and shipping yet to be honest.. it did not help me a lot. although, what does help is taking a kind on infant CARE. this can help you to be prepared for whats to come back after being pregnant, and believe me.. it truly is even as the real artwork comes. Now, as for the unusual cravings, they too are regularly occurring. some believe that you crave issues because you lack some type of nutrition or mineral on your nutrients regimen. it truly is yet to be shown, although. i'll't grant you with a diverse date for even as the morning ailment might want to snatch, yet for most it in many cases fades after the first trimester. this isn't real for all females, regardless of the reality that. some by no ability have it. Others have it the total time. It somewhat relies upon on you and how your body bargains with the hormones of being pregnant. about the discomfort of exertions: i have also heard that that is vitally painful, yet considering i had a c-section i will not say so some distance as a vaginal shipping is going. i'll inform you that a c-section isn't a thanks to bypass if avoidable in any respect. the total expericen became irritating for me and it became major surgical operation. It takes a lot longer to heal from as oppose to a vaginal shipping and also hurts a lot longer. So, once you've a vaginal delivery, in basic terms undergo in ideas its going to be somewhat quick for the most section and regardless of the reality that it would want to damage, they have drugs to help with that in recent times. also, the 2d you listen your infant cry, its prompt alleviation. Goodluck and congrats on the being pregnant!

February 19th, it is very common for your due date to change. I would trust what the doctors say!
