    The further along you are in pregnancy the less accurate u/s dating is.
    Babies grow at different rates...there is a huge variance in newborn weights.
    I would be inclined to stick with your original date....if they do take bub at what they see as 38 weeks (36 weeks your dates) his/her lungs may not be ready....the other way if their dates are right you would just be 40 weeks (your dates) so bub would be ready to be born.
    I wish you the best and I hope the birth goes well with no lung problems.
