Question
Hello,
When given an ultrasound do they always take measurements of fetus to see if your LMP due date is accurate? Also if I was indeed further along (for ex: I thought I was 10 weeks but actually 25) would the ultrasound tech notice this?
they dont always check for due date accuracy. however, they would notice the difference of 10 weeks vs 25 weeks for sure. that is a HUGE difference in baby. As you get closer to delivery the ability to estimate a due date becomes more and more inacurate. so always go with the dates from your first ultrasound.
