how accurate are due dates?!!

By the date of my last period my due date is jan 12. My doctor says my due date is jan 22nd because of an ultrasound I had at 7 weeks. I went for an anatomy scan at 20 weeks and by the indepth measurments, the specialist said my due date is jan 14th. I'm so confused as to when to expecr her to come. And by the size of my belly it doesnt look like ill even make it to the first week of january. Has anyone else had to deal with this?!

The due date given to you at your FIRST ultrasound is the most accurate.

My doctor says that she's gonna go with the 22nd...but she said ill have it early compared to that date. In the beginning I was so sick the baby wasn't gaining any weight but now that I've been eating the baby is healthy and growing quickly. I guess ill just know when she comes!

Early ultrasound is the most accurate. You could ovulate late
