I think the only way you can know is to ask your midwife when you see her. Have they gone off your original date of your last period instead? Or possibly the paperwork from your dating scan got logged wrong and they have it down as 25th instead. Realistically the due date is a complete estimation based on the size of the measurement they take at your 12 week scan and even 1mm can make a difference in the due date they give you. I would take it all with a pinch of salt :) x

It varies because some midwives include LMP as the first day of pregnancy and some don’t. It can be calculated both ways x

Potentially coming early?

33 weeks, due October 12th but they are saying my stomach and her head/body are measuring October 4th, weighing 4lbs 10 ozs. Are these things usually accurate? Shes also my third so wonder if that will factor in coming early or not.

Little worried

Have had some brown discharge since the weekend after me and my partner got intimate in the afternoon shortly afterwards. So to say it still comes and goes but very little not a lot only when i wipe . I have a ultrasound appointment tomorrow and i am just hoping for good news. And to hear the baby growing and to hear the heartbeat a bit better this time. As i somewhat heard it but it was faint- that was last week.

Pain

Hey ladies, currently 14 weeks pregnant and getting pain on the left side mid stomach near the belly button is this normal? It’s not super painful just feels like tugging and it’s been like this for 4 days now. What do I do ? 😮‍💨

Birthday vent 🙄

It’s my birthday today ! 🥺🎂 and honestly, I’m feeling a little sad. I don’t really have anybody to hang out with, and I don’t have the money to go do anything, so it just feels like another regular day. I’m grateful to be here, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed. Just venting today.
