Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the edd is calculated basing on LMP and first trimester ultrasound.According to your LMP the edd is January 8 th.If you are doubtful about the dates the first trimester ultrasound helps in knowing the edd.The edd given in first trimester ultrasound is confirmatory.So both the edd s from LMP and first trimester ultrasound are same January 7 th is your edd.As you dont have pains you can wait upto 41 weeks if you dont have any complication and your fetal movements are good.So relax.Even after 41 weeks you dont get pains inducing the labour should be done after assessing the pelvis.Nothing to worry.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
