Answer: Hi,
It is very common to have one – two weeks difference between scans and dates. When they estimate your due date it is only an estimate and the baby can be born 2 weeks before or after that date and still be regarded as `on time`. The most accurate date is your last period date as ultrasounds do tend to go off averages which can cause slight differences.
Best wishes,
Alex
