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.

Ok thanks .... Yeah accordig to my due date im 33 weeks .. guess it was just wishful thinking ..

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.

No it was via ultrasound measurments and developmet

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".
