Tiny bit confused and wonder can anyone help. Currently about to give birth soon. The hospital said my due date was the 12th of July which is today. The first day of my last period was the 12th of October 2024 and my cycle length is 27 days. Today I'm 40 weeks going by the hospital but I could only be 39? Baby is measuring 90% on the graphs.

I believe the hospital give you a due date based on measurements at the first scan I realise that trying to predict it yourself based on last period and that there was always a grace period of around a week with each of mine with the due dates

I had this with my third baby. Due date Vs LMP was just all over the place, kept changing when I had scans (early private scan and then 12 week scan). Hospital said due date is based on measurements of 12 week scan and is almost guaranteed not to be wrong by more than a day or so but my boy was 100% not ready to come when I was induced at 40 weeks. Also a 'big' baby who turned out to actually not be that big. Now I'm convinced my due date was wrong and have so much regret for being pressured into the induction. Birth trauma that could have been avoided in my case

yeah I completely get you here. I think I'm 39 ATM but being told I'm 40 weeks today. The amount of messages I'm getting any sign yet, baby here yet is driving me insane. Makes me feel like my body isn't working. X

Oh boy I absolutely hate that. The amount of people who ask. Surely if I wanted you to know that baby was coming I would have you so if I haven't told you either baby is not coming or I don't want you to know 🤦🏼♀️ why do people not use their brains. I'm not going to give medical advice and every baby is different but by far the best of my three births was my second baby, went into labour naturally at 41+ 3, gas and air only and 9lb 3. The other two inductions were quite frankly horrendous start to finish and smaller babies
