To calculate your due date, you take the first day of your LMP, subtract 3 months, then add seven days. If your due date is November 25, the first day of your last LMP would have been February 18th. If this is not correct, just ask your doctor to recheck the dates at your next appointment. If the first day was February 26, your due date is December 3rd, as you have stated. Maybe your ob just had the wrong date when she calculated it for you.

Typically they will go by this method to figure your due date
On the first day of your monthly you will add 7 days then go back 3 months. You can ask your doctor how they got your date they will show you how they got it they don't mind your asking they are used to it. You will probally end up with a couple different dates anyway. I did. My first I had 3 different ones all days apart. My second I had 13 different dates some were days apart and some were weeks and one was a month. Good luck . Congrats. (Oh Feb. 26 was my b-day)

My last period before getting pregnant last year was on 2-24-06, and my due date was 12-1-06, so your estimate of Dec 3 sounds right to me. I think the doctor may have miscalculated because she should have gotten the same date using her wheel as you get on a pregnancy calendar online.

my doctor calculated by the last date of my period as well. You can't really tell what day you conceived so they have this little circle calendar they use to help figure it out...On the websites did you put your last period date to get the calculation and it came out Nov 25th if so and you are concerned I would ask the doctor how they came up with dec 3rd.

Here's a funny story. I know when I got pregnant with my second (2/14) and he was born on 11/25. My last period before him was 2/1.
Once you have an ultra sound they will be more sure of your due date, but I think 12/3 sounds right.
Best wishes
