measuring 34 weeks but I'm 31...

The ultrasound lady wanted to move my due date up, according to her measurements.... Baby length and weight are at 34 weeks. That would move my due date to April 17. After discussions with doc, she kept it at May 9.  Because of a previous ultrasound.... My twins, I delivered at 34 weeks. My next two at 36 and 37 weeks. All their lungs were healthy. Everything healthy. The twins did get jaundice, but minor.  
Now.... I'm not diabetic. Gestational or otherwise. Me and my husband are 5-10 and 6-5.  
My question is... Should we go by our original due date? Or use the new one. I think my doc is kinda wondering too.  The only thing I  worry about is lung development.
And my anti E problem. But we're keeping an eye on that. That's a separate issue...

My doctor told me that ultrasounds just check how fast or slow the baby is growing n many grow at different rates. He also said wen a doctor wants to move the due date especially that far the doctor is usually wrong. My last child was small and.they moved the due date over a week and she showed up at the original time. If u don't know wen u got preg u may need to move it but otherwise ur baby us prob just growing fast

Usually the ultrasound is the most accurate, so I would say that is the one to go by. That's a huge difference though.
