question from a confused pregnant woman

[ll08]

Ok I am having issues lol I am pregnant and didn't find out untill pretty far into my pregnancy. I am either 31 or 35 weeks along but I'm not sure cuz my lmp was in February which would make me due in November, but a sonogram said that I am due in December. Now obviously it isn't too big of a difference and the baby will come when he is ready BUT I have a history of having small babies and I feel like my body is preparing for labor and the doctors are still assuming I am 31 weeks. So they are talking about sending me to DC to deliver cuz st marys doesn't have a nic unit. I honestly believe I am due in November. So my question is how do I convince my doctor to double check my due date so that I won't be delivering a full term baby in DC when I don't have to? Sorry if this sounds stupid but I am really freakin out about this and was wondering if anyone else had this problem... Thanks.

Have you talked to your doctor about it?

This might sound odd, but I always looked to my ob/gyn for advice.

"Do you think you could double check my due date? Thanks!"

Maybe she watched the show on Discovery - I was pregnant and didnt know it.

Your best bet is to deliver in DC.... I had to drive an hour away to deliver my first child because he was born with a heart condition.

So you found out when you were 5 months pregnant? I know there is a certain point in your pregnancy that the OB can tell how far along you are through sonogram. My OB and I were discussing this last week.... it's a time where the fetus has developed the same (as far as gender, race, genetics, etc) across the board and that is a definite on how far along you are.... looks like you passed that. It's around 3 months where they can tell this.
