As of today, we have had four ultrasounds. Each ultrasound has shown that Baby A is healthy – but the due dates have not aligned with the date calculated by my Maryland doctor. MD Dr. used the first day of my last menstrual cycle. While this can be accurate for some women, it is not for all. If you are irregular, or your last period was different, then that date really holds no significance. Remember? Pregnancy is not the same for everyone! It is important that you know your due date my friends so you can track your baby’s growth and development.
MD Dr. said Baby A would be due on December 6th. The first two ultrasounds I had at “5 weeks” and “10 weeks” showed she would be due December 12th. The latest ultrasounds have a different date…
With that being said, I am not almost 24 weeks pregnant on Friday…
I am almost 22 weeks pregnant on Wednesday!
If you live in the Baltimore area and need an ob-gyn, I’d love to email you the name of someone you should AVOID. It is her fault that B and I have been walking around on egg shells thinking there could be something wrong with Baby A.
I’m so glad you got it sorted out!
I’m so happy you have gotten everything figured out! Bad doctors are seriously the worst. Congrats!!

goodness, what a roller coaster! sounds like y’all have a little bit of clarity now though 🙂 sending happy thoughts baby a’s way!
Oh no!! So sorry you had to deal with all of that. We had a toss up, too – with a possible one week difference, but thankfully our doctor nailed it down by Baby Mac’s size at 10 weeks. Glad you finally have an answer, though!
Gosh, that must have been so frustrating! So glad you have it figured out and baby girl is healthy!

Oh good gracious! Well that definitely makes more sense! I’m glad you were able to find someone who knows what the heck they’re doing! I am going to hope that baby bear comes 6 days early and is born on my birthday! 🙂
Yay!!!!!!! So glad you guys can relax now!! That makes us a week apart!!
OH MAN! Thank goodness you finally got this all figured out!!!!!
Oh goodness!! I’m glad you finally got it figured out. There is nothing worse than to going to somebody that you don’t feel like knows what’s going on!
I’m so glad that you got that all figured out. With my daughter I was due 2 weeks past my cycle date based on the ultrasound and then she made her arrival a week after that. I’m really surprised that she just strictly went off of the cycle date and not the ultrasound. I’m glad you have a set date now.
Glad you have figured out your due date!
I’m so happy you guys were finally able to figure it out. All that matters is that you and baby are healthy!
I’m so sorry you had a bad experience and worried about your little one. That’s tough. So important to know the date because imagine if they went with the first date and said you were over due and induced you when you weren’t!
So glad you have a real date AND that you have found a doctor that you are happy to be working with. It’s unfortunate that the MD doctor didn’t get it. My friend recently had the same issue-baby was measuring too big for the weeks and she said that she NEVER has a regular schedule so calculating by her LMP is inaccurate.
🙂 Does it make you excited to know that you are so tiny because you were two weeks off? Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy!
So glad you know. Congratulations again!

So glad you got that figured out! How stressful! I’ve been reading along, hoping you’d find out soon! Now you’re having a baby right before Christmas. Sounds like an excellent present to me 🙂
Glad to hear everything is alright 🙂
Based on my last menstrual cycle I should have been 7 weeks pregnant at my first ultrasound and I was only 4! My little one is now almost a year old!
So glad that you all finally figured out the correct due date!! What a great Christmas present!!! 🙂 Hopefully any blog readers in MD will stay away from that OB/GYN!
Glad you have your due date figured out now, take it easy and enjoy every minute now!
Glad Baby A is healthy and that you finally got some piece of mind! You’ve been in my thoughts!
So glad you have peace of mind with baby’s due date. As an expectant mother myself, I can’t imagine the stress you and your husband were under. Thank God for healthy babies and good doctors to give us accurate due dates!
