Why might the due date change?

Your estimated due date is just that – a rough estimate! It’s used to schedule your dating scan in the first trimester. At this ultrasound scan, you may be given a more accurate due date.

The method above uses a 28-day cycle. If your cycle is longer or shorter than this (or changes month-to-month), this may affect your due date, too. Again, your dating scan may provide you with a more accurate due date.
