Due date?

Question

I'm still not convinced about my due date. The first day of my LMP (a normal period)was Aug. 12 and I spotted the following month on Sept. 1 which is about three weeks apart. I spotted for about ten days straight which is not normal for me. I explained this to my dr. and their office is still going by the Sept 1 date. Do you think this is right? 
Getting concerned because that would mean I'm 37 weeks and not 34 weeks like the dr is saying. I'm starting to lose my mucas plug, have pelvic pressure and my bones hurt, among other symptoms too.

Answer

With my oldest, she measure 2 weeks bigger than my lmp so they bummed up my due date. During ultrasounds if the baby measures more than a week bigger or smaller 90% of obs will adjust your due date. If you had an early ultrasound before 13 weeks, they do that one specifically for dating. I wouldn't worry. Your body and baby know what to do. Also your mucus plug will regenerate itself if you lose some of it unless you're in labor. With my daughter I lost a huge glob and started to dilate at 32 weeks. They stopped labor at the hospital but when I actually gave birth to her at 39 weeks I relost my mucus plug. Try not to worry too much. Everything will work out great☺ Good luck!

Answer

Did you have an ultrasound to get the due date? That might be where they are getting the info from, or if you haven't had one you might want to in order to get a more accurate idea.
