Okay when I first got preg I was tring so I had a regular trak on my period so I know exactly what the day ws of my LMP Then after a few Dr apts the said I was 2 weeks a head due to measurents . Now according to measurments again again its saying 2 weeks ahead .. so shold i have myself at 33 weeks or 35 ?

33 weeks, measurments are just measurments, they will still tell you, you are 33 weeks. Some girls measure 4-5 weeks ahead, but that doesnt mean they are any more pregnant that anyone else...just a bigger baby.

Wifey711, measurements mean only so much. Early ultrasounds, good dates, and fetal development are far better indicators of how far along you are. I have an extremely small pelvic "bowl" and once I got to 12 weeks my uterus was under my naval (20 weeks measurement) but flat above my pubic bone. Since there is virtually no room down below for me I always had a high fundus. If you know your dates precisely and have an early u/s to verify, you should probably go with the original dates. Your doctor will let you know if there is concern.

My midwife told me that it is totally normal to measure within 2 weeks give or take. At my 25 week appt I measured at 26 weeks.

My doctor goes by the ultrasound due date..were they on track? I am 36 weeks, and measuring 32 weeks, and there is NO WAY someone could tell me that I am not due for another 2 months! hehe.

are they saying this based on fundal height measurements? If so, I would go by the 33 weeks. A lot of woman measure big on the outside, but via ultrasound everything is right on track.

Go by the real date and not a tape or u/s measurement. I measured 40 weeks when I knew I was really only 32 with my 3rd child!!! My baby was just a big one.... 10 lbs. 6 oz. and 22 3/4".
