Anybody else frustrated with their due date?

Mine is the opposite, moved back 10 days which felt very personal ahaha but I had a private scan as I was stressed the week or two before and she had the exact same EDD as the NHS one. Which I guess adds a bit of confidence, must be super frustrating if they were struggling and still went along with it!
Yeah,mine got moved forward 6 days, and I was also tracking ovulation and only had one opportunity within the month that it could have happened!
Pretty sure I'm gonna need an induction because of the discrepancy too :(
Mine has been moved forward by 7 days as well. Based on my LH tests I should be giving birth around the 24th, according to midwives, I should be giving birth by 17th. I also agree it sets us up for interventions because they won't allow us to go over a certain week without giving us grief.
Yeah same...I didn't ovulate until the end of the month so I think I'm actually around the 37 week mark not nearly 40 weeks
Yes my due date was also brought forward by a week and I also know that can't be right. So I've just constantly told myself since then that my date is a week later than it is! Especially because my first baby was 10 days late. So I'm mentally fully expecting to go past my current due date. I'll have a shock if baby is on time or early 🤣 I think whatever the due date, there's such a huge window they can arrive I'm just trying not to think about it (way, way easier said than done). With my first I was thinking "it could be today" from 37 weeks and as she ended up being 10 days late it was 5 weeks of torture! So I'm really trying to distract myself and not do that to myself this time!!
Super important to hear the docs, of course, but it’s also up to you if you choose to go over 42 weeks. My midwife offered my daily foetal monitoring if I wanted to do that. Although I’m 40 weeks today, so I’m not planning on taking any choices until I have to. They moved mine 4 days forward.
This happened to me too, I was brought forward 8 days too and i know exactly when I ovulated. I was frustrated as it feels like they've set you up to have interventions because my body wouldn't be ready.
