Growth sono question

This might be a really silly question, but did anyone's due date change after the growth sono? If the baby was measuring big or a few weeks ahead, did the Dr. change your due date or estimate if you would go early or late?

Im just not sure what to expect from the growth sono I have next week (esp. after my Dr. measured my belly last week and said it was measuring big).

They didn't do this for me....my babies are measuring small, but they are twins so it may be different.

The growth sono is really amazing. It takes a while and they look at EVERYTHING! They measure leg and arm bones, look at vital organs (kidneys, brain, heart, etc), look at blood flow to the heart, and do a bunch of other measurements.

I was really nervous about mine, but it was amazing...I even cried at one point because it makes it all feel so real.

My growth sono was really quick...she just measured the head, abdomen and femur to give an approximate weight. I have no idea how many weeks Chat Icon was measuring...she only gave me the weight, and my due date did not change.

My Chat Icon was measuring beyond big. At my 35 week appt he was weighing in at 9.15lbs. I also had too much fluid which is called Polyhydramnios so my doctor actually moved up my c/s date. She said that it was dangerous for me and the baby to carry him to term. I had him at 37 weeks and he weighed 10.1lbs. I had to have an amnio first to make sure his lungs were mature and they were.

He is perfectly healthy Chat Icon

I am the rare exception.

In my first pregnancy my Chat Icon was measuring big but they didn't move up my due date.
