Dates? Help could I be due sooner? Need advice?

Question

Ok, I had sex the night of April 7 (morning of the 8th)

Felt like my period was coming like usuall (cramping, etc)

On the 15th had light bleeding or spotting and was gone by the next day. Then maybe somemore spotting the day after.

The doc is counting April 15th as my last period. But my periods are usually REALLY bad and 5 days. Could this be my body noticed I got pregnant as I was about to start my period? Or even implantation bleeding from the 7th?

For my ultrasound she said April 11th and said I was 12wk/6days, when I seen the doc again he said we are 4 days off and kept my due date of Jan 20. How could she have given me a date of April 11th of the size of the baby if my period was April 15th? This is what im not understanding. I explained to the doc about the "weird period" and thats when I think I got pregnant. but he says we are right on time w/the dates.

Could he be wrong and not understanding me?

Im wanting to know what the April 11th day means on the U/S. Could the Dr be 2-3 weeks off?

Answer 1

Just be thankful you are pregnant!
Doctors can change due dates several times, depends on the size of baby. A week or two won't matter anyway. When it is close they will do an ultrasound etc to check for enough fluids for baby and make sure the lungs are mature.
Relax and Enjoy.
Happy Pushing!

Answer 2

By the dates, it would seem like you are more correct about your date of conception. However, if the ultrasound confirmed the date of the one day of bleeding as the LMP, I would trust that and go by that.

And for the previous poster, it DOES make a difference of a month! I don't blame you for wanting to make sure you have your dates correct!

Anyway, go by the doctor's date since the fetuses development confirmed it.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter because no baby ever comes on their due date and you are talking about a matter of days. If the doctor was off by a month, then you could worry. Good luck and relax!
