so went to my your baby is too big consultation. and it was all fine usual stuff like well you have had big babys before with no bother why are they sending your to us stuff. then literally the last thing she said was lets have a little feel see what the fuss is about and i jumped up and she went ohhhh that is big and baby is already head down (wtf) i thought they went round and round all the time, so what if she is head down.
so she asks me is the baby kicking strongly and i confess that when i should have been have light butterfly flutter i was having kicks that my partner could feel. she ummmm and awwws and says i dont want to alarm you but we may have gotten your dates wrong. we have to get you in for a scan?
can they get dates wrong? i though babys all pretty much went along a general development path up until a point.
can i not just be having a beast of a baby?
i have nothing ready yet, i need the two months after christmas instead of one...............and breath.

Generally, the 12 week scan can accurately date your pregnancy within a week either way. There isn't that much variation until the second trimester, as far as I am aware.
