I left this as a comment on a lady's post about due date questions. I thought it may be helpful to post on my page here as well π€
Did you know this about your due date and the first ultrasound?π
"The original due date calculated at your first ultrasound (the dating ultrasound as it's called) is your due date. All babies that early (around 7/8 weeks) should measure about the same size (there is no big or small babies at that early on) and this is why the baby is measured and due date determined based on that measurement in order to know how the development should be going from that point on.
Due dates aren't hard and fast rules for the actual birth of your baby, but they are important in gauging the appropriate development/growth of your baby.
I'm a birth doula and photographer if you've considered one or have any questions π€"
