How far

The nurse at my dr office wrote on my proof of pregnancy letter my last period was 4/15 and it was actually 3/21, and then she says that when they did first ultrasound tech measured baby small...i said ok well whered u get 4/15 from just assuming, no either ur new tech measured wrong, or maybe baby is smaller but my period was last here def in march,  so shes like I believe u im gonna ask about this, since my dr was out of the office she said she'll call me back...but im worried about this...because im further along then they are saying, when I thought they were going my the march date, they done made up a date in april...they didnt get that info from me!!

Yeah, if they can't get it straightened out I would definitely start interviewing other OB/GYNs. I wouldn't want them caring for me during pregnancy and labor if they are that disorganized and dependent on technology. If a tech measured your baby THAT far behind, I would have expected a 2nd ultrasound or something to confirm...not them just making up a new date.

I would definitely be concerned, too. That's almost a months difference between 03/21 and 04/15! I would stick to your guns and let them now that your last period was 03/21 and you are such-&-such weeks along. Even if baby was measuring a bit small, it would be by like a week or something, not 3! It would make me nervous if my doctor's office was functioning like that, just nonchalantly putting dates down for women and stuff....
