I think my due date is wrong

Hey!!! They did this with me too- they were only a week off but talks about induction and small baby were constant. They can be up to 3 weeks off the due date mark because every woman ovulates differently. Remember an induction is a choice, and you CAN decline. They suggest inductions so that they can control the situation and so they can plan but this is your body and your labour so choose what’s best for you! I had my home birth and it was perfect- you’ve got this mumma xx
What Anusha said!! Stick to your guns. You get to choose your care plan. Not them. If you want baby at home plan for that and refuse induction if you need to. They can’t “make” you do anything you refuse. They can make their recommendations but just question the hell out of them when they do and ultimately listen to your instinct when you’re deciding what to do xxx
I have been wondering the same as according to the date of my last menstrual period I’d be due about a week later than the due date given to me at my dating scan and I don’t have any signs that he will be here any time soon 🤔
Totally understand this! Trust your body 🙏🏻 everything else is estimates and not 100% accurate. I’m 40 weeks this week and don’t feel it’s correct as I also know the date of conception too and pretty sure it would mean I’m due 2 weeks after my due date. I’ve also wondered why my symptoms have been less mild at this point too - don’t feel like I’m about to reach due date at all. Just remember you get to decide and give informed consent whether you accept an induction or not. I will not be accepting anything easily -I want to do things naturally. If my health worsens and the babies does then of course i would accept but ill be waiting until 42 weeks otherwise. My mum had me at 42 weeks & I turned out ok 😅 I also like the affirmation “my baby will come when my baby is ready”
