Had my dating scan

[KatyKat]

And everything looks great! Monkey was wriggling about all over the place - I'm pretty sure he/she wasn't too impressed with all the poking and prodding around

They've moved my due date forward to 21st December, which is only 2 days earlier, so I'm not that bothered. I had a look at the report though, and based on the head circumference Monkey looks to be 13+1 (which is exactly what we thought we were) but the crown to rump measurements put him/her at 13+3. Does anyone know why they use to CR measurement rather than the HC to actually decide the due date.

I'm just curious?

Fantastic news Katy, remind me to change your EDD when I get home! I think CRL is generally regarded as more reliable at this stage, up until 14wks IIRC. When I had my 16wk early anomaly they didn't even look at CRL but BPD and AC were spot on for our dates. The difference between your dates and babys growth could be down to him implanting early

Comgratulations on your little monkey! xx

It was amazing! I think we were just so relieved to have got this far, and to see monkey wriggling around felt like nothing short of a miracle
