Are you in a different country this time round? I think some countries have different pregnancy lengths Confused

40 weeks is the date you are given as your due date but a baby is classed as term at 37 weeks - maybe that is where the confusion has come in?

I would ask your midwife or consultant

40 weeks is from the date of your last period. 37/38 weeks would be from conception i'm guessing?
