Totally normal. At 12 and 20, Babies can be plus or minus 7 days from their estimated due date and no one is concerned.

Don’t worry
I had like 4 different dates
Couple of weeks apart from each other
My baby was born full term and completely fine

Yes that’s normal. Their scans and measurements aren’t always accurate anyways. I was always about a week behind in all of my threee pregnancies but all babies were born perfect and healthy.

There’s always error in any measurement and the same is true of ultrasound. That’s why they use the 20 week scan to predict your due date and why it’s called the dating scan. It’s more accurate that the anatomy scan - I think it’s because as it’s easier to measure baby correctly when bigger. As long as the new due date is within a week or so of the initial due date there’s no need to worry 😊
Different countries have different ways to predict due date so don’t read to much into the due date!

I’ve had 3 scans so far and each time the date has changed x

Totally not a worry. Baby is due between 37weeks and 42weeks. So the shift a due date by a few days isn't anything in the 5 week window baby could randomly arrive in! My first moved about 7 days between thr 12 and 20 week scans.

Yes my dates change every scan but the hospital stick with the due date determined at 12 weeks as it’s usually the most accurate. It’s only an estimate don’t worry xx

For me it was completely different though! They kept my due date the same from the 12w scan , even if the baby on the 20w scan appeared 1 week behind and smaller. Now the baby is small for gestational age but they still keep the same due date which I find peculiar!
