Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concern. When the periods are irregular and the exact date of the last menstrual period or day of ovulation cannot be predicted, the best way to assess the expected date of delivery is to depend on a sonogram performed as early as 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. This can give you almost accurate prediction. If two sonograms were done one or two weeks apart at this stage and if both of them complied with the same expected date, this is the best conclusion. Cephalic means the baby is presenting at the cervical opening by its head. This is the commonest one and hence, is normal. Hope your queries are clarified. Wish you safe motherhood.
