My due date keeps being pushed up? First I was due December 18, 20th and now the 23d? Is this normal?
Thanks for your help.

Perfectly normal. Mine has changed 3 times already. And I still have at least one more ultrasound. At which, I'm sure will change AGAIN. Lol

Yes it is normal. The first date was a guess an estimation of when your period was due and when you had intercourse. The second might have been judged by baby heartrate and your blood tests. The 3rd (which is usually the right one might have been judged by the ultrasound.
When I first went in I had a due date of late July-early August. When I went in again after the ultrasound I had a due date of August 13th.
The days aren't that far off so I wouldn't read too much into it. If they were weeks apart that might have been a bit confusing. The baby will come when it comes though. Even with the dates given if he/she decides to come early or late then that is how it will be.
Congratulations and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

My due date was changed a number of times-fluctuated within a 1 week period. My daughter was actually born 2 days after my own original calculation. 2 weeks after one of the dr's and only a couple days after. Your baby will come when it's ready. The due date is just a guideline anyway. A friend is actually being induced today because of high blood pressure but her due date has fluctuated between the 23rd and the 30th. Relax and enjoy your journey toward motherhood!

Yes I think it is normal. My daughter was due April 8th, then they changed it to the 22 of April. She was born on the 5th of May. It's mostly just a rough guess. It will be OK. I was sceduled to be induced the 5th of May, but on the evening on the 4th she decided to come, and was born at 3:03 am. Its so fun after the pregnancy is over. Those last few weeks were rough though wanting to have that baby.

I had 6 different due dates with my son that raged from July 29th to August 6th.
With my daughter it kept bouncing between November 17 - Nov 22. Its normal. it is just based on how big the baby measures really. Your last period date or ovulation date is your most accurate due date though.

Yes, it's perfectly normal. Your first due date is based almost solely on your last cycle, but if you're having ultrasounds the due date might be adjusted up or down based on metrics taken during the ultrasound (like length of femur).

It's fairly normal. Anything within a week shouldn't really affect your pregnancy, since most babies are born 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after their due dates.
The "Due Date" is really a suggestion, not a hard fast rule.

There is no exact science as to pin pointing your due date, they have to go by how much the baby grows, and it's measurements. Mine changed several times when I was pregnant with my daughter, but no more than by a couple of days.

It's only by a couple of days. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It happens a lot. Due dates are just when it's expected, not when it's coming. For all you know he'll be born on Christmas.

Its normal if you don't know when you conceived Baby. They go by size so its all charts and waiting. It can be aggravating to have to keep being made to weight but remember Baby will come when shes ready no matter what the Dr.s write in your chart. Congratulations and don't forget to BREATH :P
