I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant with my first
baby and when I went to my last prenatal
appointment the doctor told me that the
measure from your pelvic bone and over
your belly hump is a pretty accurate
caculation of how many weeks that you are
now I measured at 41 weeks..Has this
happened to anyone and do you think that I
could go into labor soon? My first
sonagram said my due date was feb 23 and
my doctor had feb 28th..Also I went to
this pregnancy website that gives you the
day by day thing and what to expect while
pregnant and on oct 3rd I was told I was
exactly 20 weeks pregnant by the woman who
did my ultrasound and when I put that date
in on that website the due date that came
up was the 19th of feb. So I know my due
date is right around the corner, but any
info would be great thanks!!! Tiffany

No ultrasound can tell you exactly how far
along you are. (the woman who told you
you were exactly 20 weeks). Also, the
measurement is a fairly accurate
assessment, however, no test can actually
tell you exactly how far along you are.
You're 38.5 weeks, so at least you know
you don't have much longer to go!! Due
dates change often... It's just a part
of pregnancy since nothing is for sure!
