Am I Due In August Even Tho I My Due Date Is Sept 12 But I Turn 9 Months August 15  Kind Of Confused

[lovingme0]

I Think Because It Happened And Then Now Im Pregnant Is Wat Worries Me Do I Think His The Father No Not All I Think Its Just Guilt And I Need Closure

[AnnieBrooke]

Depends on how anxious or guilty you feel.  A lot of time guilt or anxiety and settle into obsessive worry about something else, not justified by the circumstances.  You might see a counselor and just talk about feeling bad about having slept with someone on December 7, or about anxieties about having a baby, if that is what the base of the worry.  Letting your anxiety settle on the date as somehow being wrong and figuring it over and over, is not the way to solve the underlying worry.

Is It Normal To Keep Having Theses Thoughts And Being Worried

[AnnieBrooke]

I guess you are trying to discount the possibility that the guy on the 7th is the dad by computing it forward and showing that you would be further along now if he were the dad, but it is much more accurate just to use the estimated due date the earliest ultrasound gave you, and to use a calculator or manually count back.

Thats Wat I Got And When I Do Conception Date For December 8 I Get August Due Date Which Would Make Me More Then 26 Weeks The Guy From Dec 7 Said He Didnt Enter Any Sperm In Me But I Know Theres Pre Sperm

[AnnieBrooke]

The baby has to be from your ex, then.  The early ultrasound that gave you the due date of September 12 is pretty definitive because it is so early.  Here is what the conception calculator says for that due date:

Probable date of ovulation:  December 20
Possible dates of conception:  December 16 to 24

Due date:  September 12 (40 weeks)

I Only Hadd Sex With The One Boy On The 7th The Rest Was With My Ex

[AnnieBrooke]

I assume there is a candidate for dad with whom you had sex on the 19th?  Is there any other possibility relatively close to that time, such as within the same menstrual cycle?

[AnnieBrooke]

Well, it's not a problem for you to ask a lot of questions, as long as I don't have to guess what you mean.  For example, you said "But I had sexual intercourse on the 19th of December and my conception date is the 20th."  I didn't know for sure if you were even asking a question.  I finally guessed you meant, "How does a conception date of the 20th make sense if I had sex on the 19th?" and that is what I answered.  But it would help if you had been specific, I really wasn't sure that was what you wanted to know.

Yes It Is A BOY :) Sorry If I Ask Alot Of Questions It Just That It Really Bothers Me About The Whole December 7th And December 19 Situation

[AnnieBrooke]

It's perfectly possible to have intercourse on the 19th and have a conception date of the 20th, since sperm can live up to five days in your reproductive tract.  (In fact, in that scenario, the strong likelihood is that the baby is a boy.  Do you know the gender of the baby yet?)

But I Hadd Sexual Intercourse On The 19th Of December And My Conception Date Is The 20th

[AnnieBrooke]

If you were told during your ultrasound on January 15 that you were 5 weeks 5 days, you didn't conceive around December 7, but would have conceived around the 20th of December.  If your due date is September 12, that also points to a conception date around the 20th of December.

Are you aware that when a medical person says "You are 5 weeks 5 days pregnant," they are using Gestational Age (GA), which begins on the first day of your last period?  To answer the question of when you conceived, versus when your last period began, the sonographer wouldn't have counted back 5 weeks 5 days but only about 3 weeks 5 days.  Apparently someone did that, because you have a due date of September 12, which is the right due date for an ultrasound on 1/15 saying 5w5d GA.

By Ultrasound January 15th I Was 5Weeks And 5Days

[AnnieBrooke]

Sweetheart, how did you get a due date of September 12?  Was it from an ultrasound?  If so, when was it?  (Like, your sixth week or your 10th week or whatever.)

[lovingme0]

So If My Conception Date Would Have Been Around Dec 7 Or 12 That Would Make My Due Date Around The End Of August Or Beginning Of September??

I Heard It Was Possible That You Could Get Pregnant After Your Period

[AnnieBrooke]

A full-term pregnancy is 280 days from the first day of your last period to the day the baby is due.  (It is 266 days from the presumed day of conception to the day the baby is due.)  A "month" in pregnancy is 4 weeks or 28 days.  That comes out to ten (so-called) months if you divide the 280- day count by 28 days.  The first two weeks of the 280 days, you're not even pregnant yet, so we are talking about a counting convention.  Sorry, I don't know why doctors use this counting convention, I just know they do.

So Why Do They 36 Weeks You Turn 9 Months

[AnnieBrooke]

You're not due in August if your due date is September 12.  You're due in September.  

You'll be in your ninth month after August 15.  But really since pregnancy "months" are only 4 weeks long, you get ten "months" until you're full term.
