Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Your due date when calculated from your last menstrual period, your first ultrasound and your anomaly scan comes to January 9th. So this is your correct due date and you should consider your pregnancy at 40 weeks on January 9th.

The ultrasound scan done in the initial weeks of pregnancy is very accurate an should be considered to calculate the gestational age.
And since the first ultrasound date and your LMP are both matching to 9 Jan, please consider that as your due date.

Hope this solves your confusion .
Regards.
