So, I just had my first u/s at what I thought was 24 weeks 1 day. Even though I have diabetes, the U/S tech was pretty confident that we should move my due date up 2 weeks...from 9/01 to 8/16. She said the amount of difference was beyond the standard deviation or whatever.<br><br>
I did not know my LMP when I got pregnant and tried to arrange an early scan, but had no luck due to lack of health insurance.<br><br>
I'd be generally O.K. with this if I didn't know that they would try and induce me at 39 weeks regardless. (All of my MFMs/OBs have done this due to diabetes.) If my original date was accurate, that would mean inducing at 36 weeks which could lead to problems.<br><br>
So, what would you do? Would you just accept the new due date? Wait and see how things go... and push back to at least a full-term induction if necessary and baby doesn't come on his own?
