wrong due date?!?

Question

Okay, I can't really understand when I try to figure my due date out, the doctors keep changing it, becuase who knows... My doctor said she doesn't know why they keep changing it or who does change it in my chart.. but each time i went to doctor it was always different.. My last period was on November 3, 2006, and my period was only for about 3-4 days, so if someone can help me!!!

I have had two ultrasounds, but I am already 37 weeks, and someone just keeps changing them in my file, so I am confused so is the doctor...

Answer 1

Some more details might help. Have you had an ultrasound? What did it say? based on your lmp, your due date should be 08/10/2007. Here's the calculator I used.
Good luck.

Get a photocopy of your chart now and add to it every week (you are entitled). My guess is that whoever keeps changing it is going to lose your chart before too long. At least you will have a copy. I would also ask the doctor's nurse to add a postit to your chart that asks that anybody who wants to change the due date to contact her. At least that may get to the bottom of the problem.

If it's in the computer, then you have to find out whose messing with your medical charts (privacy issues here). NOBODY but your doctor should be changing your due date.

Answer 3

a due date is only a good guess........... I told them the exact date i concieved and they still changed mine several times, The baby will come when its ready. And the due date gives you a good guess of about when !!!!

My ultrasound was also off because my baby girl was big, They said she would be 5-6 lbs from the ultrasound done the morning they induced me, and she was 10 lbs 9 oz........... so they are not always right.

Answer 4

The "commonly used" gestaional era for an entire term being pregnant is 32 to 40 two weeks. as a result a due date could be incorrect via an entire month. A "due date" is in basic terms an estimate of whilst the toddler could arrive. mom nature (or God) decides whilst the toddler is born no longer scientific technological know-how.

Answer 5

Have you had an ultrasound? I never knew the dates of my last periods with my kids so they always determined due date by ultrasound.

Answer 6

Assuming November 3rd was the first day and your cycle is 28 days long, your due date will be August 10th 2007. Here's a link to the pregnancy calendar I used to arrive at that date: http://www.babycenter.com/calendar/index?_DARGS=%2Fcalendar%2Fgetinfo.jhtml.4

Answer 7

Well no matter HOW long you LMP was shouldn't matter by now. According to a due date calculator I found online, your due date should be August 10.

Answer 8

yes does sound confusing ,when all is said and done ,your baby will come when he is ready,only a few weeks left by the sounds of it good luck with the birth,when it arrives

Answer 9

YOU NEED TO ASK TO GET AN ULTRASOUND DONE SOON, THIS ULTRASOUND WILL BE THE ONLY WAY TO GET AN ACCUARTE DUE DATE, THEY WILL MEASURE THE BABY AND THIS WILL DETERMINE HOW FAR ALONG YOU REALLY ARE. AND TELL WHOEVER THAT THEY NEED TO STOP MESSING WITH YOUR CHART THEY NEED TO GET THEIR CRAP TOGETHER, BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY CONFUSING YOU.

Answer 10

if your last period was on november 3rd, you would have got pregnant on november 13th. my last one was november 12th and i got pregnant on november 22nd. so it is usually ten days from your last periods start date, so your due date should be august 13th
