My first scan my due date i got 8th feb 2014 and it hasn't changed since. my lmp is 6th may 2013. can my due date be off by a week or few days?

Of course: Due dates are estimates. If more than one ultrasound scan was done, and both have similar due dates, then the estimate is pretty good... Meaning it can be off by a few days either way (maybe up to 5 days sooner or later than the estimated day). All numbers are estimates... That's the most important thing to remember.
