Question
Hi dorothy,thank you for answer and your time.I'm somewhat satisfied.keep up the goodwork.
You're welcome!
Ultrasounds only take into effect the size and development of the baby - the aren't going by your LMP. And embryos grow at very specific rates, which is why 1st trimester ultrasounds are so accurate. I know it's hard not to worry, but medically, speaking, there is no way that the ultrasound would be off by that much.

Experience
Since 2004, I have taught childbirth education classes focused on helping couples gain confidence, make decisions for their birth, and give them tools for helping them get the birth they want. Since 2004, I have also attended births in local hospitals as a birth doula (as of 8/10, I have attended 120 births) so I am able to see firsthand what is working in helping couples deal with labor. I am also a mom of five children, and have various birth experiences myself, including unmedicated birth and a cesarean.
