Frustration

Alright SO. I'm going to be 35 weeks pregnant this Saturday. This Saturday being 10/22/2011.
My VERY first sonogram..they gave me a due date and everything. My periods were irregular by their standards but the very last period I had was even more irregular than the first one.
They have my conception date as March, 6, 2011, which perfectly equals up against LMP and all that.
I've moved to my home state again since then and had all my information transferred. However, now I am going to the Clinic, and it seems like every time I go, they have me marked even FARTHER back every time.
Upon my last visit I was 32 weeks and 3 days and the had me at BARELY 29 weeks.
Frankly, I've been keeping track of my pregnancy with measurements to make sure...and the progress of the sonograms...even the estimated weight of my last sonogram equaled up to 30 weeks on the day I was 30 weeks.
This is becoming a severe frustration because they're treating me as if I JUST entered the 3rd trimester.
I have concerns for this because they're not discussing anything with me that they should be.
I've also been having numerous levels of different pain, and every time I tell them what I'm experiencing...the just disregard it as a fault of me having sex or something and that I need to stop doing this or that, when I'm not doing ANY of it.
I feel like the Clinic is treating me like an uneducated child simply because I'm a young mother-to-be. It makes me want to go to an actual DOCTOR rather than seeing a different one every time I go. So that way this person KNOWS how far a long I am, and can actually discuss the upcoming issues with me, and not disregard me.
It's very disappointing. It seems like the more the years progress the less knowledgeable they've become on simply even getting a due date.
The LAST thing I want is to end up at the clinic the week of my due date and go into labor, but them not do anything about it because they think I'm almost an entire MONTH behind my actually progress.
Any advice would be very helpful regarding this. Should I ignore them and keep going with what I know for sure? Or should I say something to one of the doctors about this issue.

I would discuss it with one of the dr.s or go somewhere else.  That's exactly why isee a midwife.  She actually cares, understands and listens!  it's your body and baby

You need to talk to the doctors about this. Care like that is horrible, and they should be addressing your concerns.
