When did we conceive?

Me & my hubby are going to start a baby book. This is our first baby. I'm 22 weeks and we are having a girl. My due date is April 5 2013. Does dat mean we conceived in July or June? I'm really confused being dat 40 wks is really 10 months & I also had my period July 5th. Can someone help me??

This helps alot. My baby due date was April 11th and then they changed it to the 5th. My doctor asked me was I sure I had a period July 5th. N I told him I was positive. Even so when I count back 22 weeks it confused me. Thanks.  Both of our birthdays are in July so I figured Dats when it was.

Here is from a conception calculator online:

Estimated first day of last menstrual period:  June 29, 2012
Probable date of ovulation:  July 13, 2012
Possible dates of conception:  July 9 to July 17, 2012
Due date:  April 5, 2013 (40 weeks)

The first day of the last period not lining up with July 5 is not too unusual if your due date has been adjusted as the pregnancy has progressed.  Babies grow at different rates, and yours might just have been growing a tiny bit faster than average.  If the due date has been the same since your seventh week, the estimated date of ovulation might be a little later, like the 16th, 17th, or 18th.

In any case, even if you have to wiggle the dates a little bit to accommodate your period being six days later than the calculator says, you did conceive in July, somewhere between the 9th and the 19th.

Incidentally, baby books are strictly G, don't put anything in a baby book about when you conceived.  (Yes -- "Mommy had a healthy pregnancy and went to labor on April 5th."  No -- "We had a romantic dinner and then one thing led to another.")  People are squeamish about reading things like that in a baby book, especially the child whose baby book it is.
