They told me at 20 weeks I was measuring 1.5 weeks ahead and again at 28 weeks that I was a week ahead. But I wouldnt count that date. Since babies all grow at different rates, scans arent accurate after the original 8 week scan. I still think to myself that maybe he will be born earlier, but that is just a hope. Your due date is the one given to you at your 8 week appointment as that is the most accurate measurement. That and the date given to you based on your LMP

I wouldn't. There are lots of threads of ladies measuring 3/4/5 weeks ahead and the babies hardly ever arrive early. I was huge with my DS he was born on the 98th percentile at 9lb 9oz and he didn't budge until 41 weeks!....if I was you I would concentrate on your original due date and if baby comes early see it as a bonus.!
