How To Determine My Baby's Due Date?
Hi. I have a question about my baby's due date.
When I was 31 weeks pregnant my doctor gave me a slip to get an ultrasound and at this ultrasound they told me that he will be due on Feb. 9th. She was extremely sure of this. When I went to see my doctor again she agreed and said that he was right on track for the 9th. So I went to get another check up and my doctor wasn't there. So they gave me another one. He told me that there was no way that he could be here on the 9th and it was most likely that he'd be here on the 22nd of feb. this calculation was based on my guess of when my last period was...
My question is: Who do I listen to and why did they give me different answers?

Hello, if you aresure of dates then its immaterial what recent ultrasound says.
But if you are not sure of dates Then the date of delivery will be what is given in first ultrasound.
In case you have any questions in future you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain
