Which due date? « Back to Group Discussions

[cathochick]

By LMP I'm due 4/3. By my suspected ovulation date, I'm due 4/1. I had an ultrasound on Monday, when I should have been 11 weeks, 5 days along by LMP and they gave me a due date of 3/28 according to the size of the baby. Which date would you go by?

I would always use the one that is the latest in case it comes down to a point of you going overdue and not wanting them to push for an induction.

Ding ding ding!  Agreed.

I prefer latest, too.  Actually, I prefer avoiding a date all together. LOL (I just say "late April" or something.  Drives people crazy.  Keeps ME sane.)

Unless.... you have a history of going early, in which case you'd want to know what the early date was too in case it would risk you out of anything by delivering too early. Of course, that's far less likely to be a problem then going post-dates. I prefer the later date myself since my babies are always late!

My first was "on time." My second was a week late.
