question about dating......

Im 12+4 today

when i had my dating scan it came up on the screen that i was 9+6 but the sonographer put my dates at 9+5 then i had some bleeding and had another scan. This time the screen said 11+3 but she put me at 11+2

I just wondered wether I should follow the dates that they have given me or the ones from the screen?.

To be honest I would prefer a day extra as my due date is 17th of august right before dd2s birthday (18th august)

Could their screen be a day out? Don't know why it would but being as they've put you a day less than the screen twice maybe they know they have to take a day off for some reason
In anycase I don't suppose it'll make much difference in the end as your baby will no doubt have it's own ideas and not come on the due date specified by the screen or the sonographer

is it because of the leap year? and the EDD is not an exact day anyway.

ahhhhh the leap year! never thought of that!! sounds about right!

I have quite alot of faith in ultrasound scans as dd1 and ds were a day out and dd2 was born dead on due date by about half an hour
