Unfortunately, HELLP syndrome is often misdiagnosed and women that have been diagnosed should seek a second opinion. This is because the symptoms of HELP can mimic many other conditions or complications,  therefore it is encouraged that physicians run a series of blood tests, including liver function, on any woman experiencing symptoms during the third trimester of pregnancy. HELLP syndrome may occur before the third trimester but it is rare. It also may occur within 48 hours of delivery, although symptoms may take up to 7 days to be evident.

Hi there, better go to another doctor for second opinion or more just to be sure. I also happen to know a site that could help you calculate your due date. I hope this helps. http://www.babyduedatecalculator.net/
