Ever since my first scan I've been going over my dates, cycle periods and I'm convinced they are wrong. So I sound out late on I was pregnant so first scan they dated me at 16+3 however that is exactly in the middle of a sex week period where I did not dtd. Also by their dates it was 8 days before I ovulate and after a period ended. I'm so confused. All the info I've read online said you can get pregnant 5 days before you ovulate and upto 1 day after so how are my dates possible?
I also have an anterior placenta and from these dates I have been feeling baby move since 11 weeks (which I am sure is impossible) and the midwife picked up the heartbeat at 14 weeks despite having a really high bmi

You do know they don't date pregnancy from conception but from two weeks before, yes?

Recalculate your dates using the first day of your last period. This should be closer to their dates and this is how they calculate due dates.
