Changed due date

Anyone had their date change at 12 weeks scan?

I used my last period and also fully tracked ovulation, I had a due date Oct 10.

In my 12 week scan they said Oct 15

Now I don’t know which to use as I know the 12 week scan can place things wrong due to the tiniest millimetre off measurement

What did others go by and what was accurate?

Second baby here!

If your OB changed your due date, I would go with that. If it’s just the ultrasound tech tho and your OB hasn’t gone over your ultrasound scan yet to confirm any date change, I wouldn’t.

I measured 4-5 days off and ultimately we didn’t change my due date.
Most places don’t change the date unless the measurements are off by 10 days or more

At the 12week scan, thats the "due date" they'll use throughout your pregnancy now. Best to stick with that to avoid confusion

They’re likely both wrong but the 12 weeks scan will be less wrong. Only about 4% to 5% of babies are born on their due date. It’s more of a rough window.

My initial date based on my last period was 10th March, they then moved it back to March 5th at the dating scan.
I had to be induced and little one arrive March 18th. So if they've given you a later date, I'd say thats better because your baby is given more time to come on their own without being pressured into induction.

What to do

I have my c-section coming up in a few days and found out the date when I received my letter at the weekend. I’m quite a private person so I decided to only tell my parents and partner. I have 2 older sisters but decided I would tell them the night before. My sister called me to ask the date and I made out I didn’t know it as I didn’t want to tell her. She took it upon herself to ring the hospital and they told her the date of my c-section. I don’t know if I’m being dramatic but I think that’s insane as she’s not listed as an emergency contact anywhere, and I’m quite irritated that they’ve told her because she could’ve been anybody. I’m not sure whether it’s worth putting a complaint in or not?

Sorry it’s long lol

Labour pains what do the feel like

Am really struggling this evening to tell if am in early labour or not! I’m actually booked in for induction tomorrow m.
I’ve had baby’s before but only suffered back labour never pains in the belly but tonight am having pains across the front low down lasting a good few seconds and like shooting pain up my vag, my whole belly goes solid during the time and it actually takes my breath and I can’t move until it passes braxton hicks or start of Labour?

Birthday

So idk if this would be considered bd drama, but he just texted me “happy birthday” my birthday isn’t until April 20th, we’ve known each other since 2024. And I just feel a little sad that he doesn’t know my birthday. Should I appreciate that he tried? Or be upset that after all this time he still doesn’t know my birthday?

Rolling?

Baby girl is 6 months old. 7 months on the 23rd. She’s not rolling yet. Doesn’t seem like she’s interested? She’ll arch her back and turn her body over; kinda like rolling but doesn’t. Just wondering if any other moms are in the same boat? She sits on her own really well but still needs support so she doesn’t fall back. Is this considered behind? 😅

Has anyone ever had a cerclage removal? I am scheduled to get my cerclage removed at 36wks. I am wondering how labor will progress, what I should I expect. Before this I had a severely shorten cervix with funneling, 1cm dilated.

I am kind of nervous not sure what to expect. I’m 32wks tomorrow.
