I understand your stress.
But it's likely going to be ok.
Doctors do a really good job with ultrasounds today, and they can very reliably estimate the baby's gestational age. Even if they get it off by a week or so (unlikely), that still puts her at 38 weeks, which is full term. 38-41 weeks is totally normal for delivery.

where is she?
