I broke up with my parter last year and ended up having a 1 night stand with a friend. My last period was the 25th of July 2015 and I had sex with my friend on the 31st and he never ejaculated. I then got back with my boyfriend on the 19th of August and we had sex that day and some later dates that month! My due date was the 17th of May although he was born a week earlier on the 10th. All my dates lined up to my boyfriend although with him being born a week early it's got me so worried again. Could this change everything or is it normal for a baby to be a week early without a change in dates? My baby looks very much like my boyfriend as a baby but I'm so anxious and it's taking away all my excitement with guilt. Please help me

Hi, Sammay, when they gave you your first due date, of May 17, the assumed conception date would have been around August 25, which actually lines up pretty nicely with your 44-day cycles (we ovulate two weeks before our next period, not two weeks after our last one) and may have even been how they computed the due date.  If your baby was born a week early on May 10, his assumed conception date would still be August 25.  A baby being born early does not change when he began.  Even if your baby was born at full term on May 10, he would have been conceived on August 18.  As you can see, these dates have nothing to do with July 31.  If the guilt over the sex is bothering you, your best bet is simply to resolve to make your boyfriend the happiest dad in the world forever.  Don't dump on him your guilty conscience, just put a sock in it and be a good girlfriend or wife forever and a good mom, and make him a happy, happy man.  That's how you atone.

My periods are normally about 44 days long
