Update- Confused about due date

So my doctor tells me I'm 31 weeks this week- but according to the due date she keeps saying (May 28th)... I wouldn't be that far along. If I'm 31 weeks- I'm due more around May 7th, right? Measuring at 30 weeks now. I'll discuss at next appointment. Just wanted to see if anyone thinks I'm missing something. I've had total preggo brain this time around. It just seems off.

Either way- just happy to have a healthy pregnancy so far.

Re: Update- Confused about due date

  • Yeah that seems off. I'm 31w5d and I'm due May 4. Maybe your lmp and ultrasounds disagree and she's using one for your weeks count and one for dd?

    That's a big difference in dates. I would for sure clarify at your next apt! I'm 31 wks today, due May 9th.

  • I think your dr might have just been off and misspoke/misread/etc. 
  • Mine actually did that to me in this pregnancy. I immediately corrected her and she said "oh yeah, right. don't listen to me. about THIS". haha.

    I am 31 weeks tomorrow and due May 10...
  • I am due the 27th and only 28 weeks
  • I'm just going to pin it down next time. She's said both on multiple occasions. Thanks for reassuring me this is not just me miscalculating or something.
  • I'm wondering if you are measuring 31 weeks?

    She keeps saying the I'm measuring behind a week - at 30 weeks this time. It totally makes no sense.
  • Yes, a similar thing happened to me during my first pregnancy. It was because I was measuring too small & my obgyn would get confused. I would always joke with him & remind him of the due date. He was a great Obgyn. This time around, I am much bigger, & I still have to keep the weeks straight in my own mind & remind my current Obgyn, oddly enough-- & the bump.com app helps me keep track.
  • So I just got off the phone with my doctors office since they left a message that I would have an ultrasound Friday (seemingly random). After speaking with her - I am due May 28th- but measuring at 30 weeks at my last appointment (so measuring big - not small). Makes sense since DS was over 10lbs.... :/ just happy to have an answer though.
