Need some advice
So at my last few appointments my doctor has spoken to me about my baby measuring ahead by two weeks. My doctor has harped on my weight and I have been asked at EVERY APPOINTMENT if I have gestational diabetes. Mind you I have taken the three hour blood test twice and passed both times. (How am I supposed to tell the DR if I have GD???lol) the reminders about being overweight are constant at the doctors.
From my first appointment, I have been questioning my due date. My last period started August 28th, I have it recorded and it was the first day of school with students so I remember it clearly. I also know the approximate date of conception because my husband and I only had sex once in the month of September on the 16th. ( first month of school is a doozy when you are both teachers 🤷🏻♀️)
When I count from the date of my last period, 40 weeks is June 4th. Every different way I have counted, even considering my cycle is a little irregular, the latest I am due is June 8th.
My doctors office has my due date as June 13th. It’s not that big a difference about a week and three days, but it feels important in light of my doctor talking about how far ahead she is measuring and alluding to a possible c section because of how big she is.
I want to bring this up but I’m afraid the doctor will dismiss me as a pregnant woman who just wants to be done. I am very much ready to meet the babe and not be pregnant anymore, but I guess I just want some assurance that this is worth bringing up and I’m not just trying to convince myself I’m due sooner.
