Sorry if this is a silly question...

According to my due date I am 16w 2d today. I went to the dr today and they said I'm measuring 17 weeks. Not that is so far off but what does it mean? Could my due date change if it stays this way?

It usually just means the baby is a bit bigger than average. They won't change your due date after the first trimester. A few days off isn't a big deal, in either direction.

It really means nothing. right now it just means you baby could be a bit bigger than what your due date is. And I say could because any measurements you get are not exact because the sonos have a margin of error.

They won't change your due date. And just because you are measuring ahead or behind a bit does not mean you will go early or late.

ITA. I was told that +/- 7 days doesn't change anything.
