Need Advise Do You Think It's Mine.. Posted: 05-23-05 00:31am
Ok well my g/f had her last period on
feb.15 I know this b/c we had sex while
she was on her period.. Then we had sex
again at the end of the month on feb. 28
and like the day after.. Well 2weeks
later she told me she was pragnant.. Well
I was excited and still am I love her alot
and would love to have a baby w/ her..
Well i've gone to a few of her dr appt.
And everything seems right according to
the date of her last period.. But what
concerns me is that she was off to college
and she didn't come back back home until
feb. 15 yeah what do you know the first
time I see her in about a month she starts
her period.. Well ne ways I was thinking
do you think that it is possible that she
got pregnant by someone else before she
came home.. I mean the Dr. Hasn't like
changed her due date or nothing, i've just
heard that you can get pregnant and still
have your period. Should I worry ahoudl
ask her for a test.. I know it would hurt
her but we were having problems and I
don't know if she was seeing someone
else.. What should I do...

Hey ya,
if she has had scans and they are giving
you a due date from teh scans they measure
it by the growth of the baby, so if the
die dats has nto hcanged and the baby is
growing at the right rate then there is
very little chance that its not yours.
But if you have doubts that it may not be
yours there are issues there you need to
deal with, shes about 12-14 weeks
pregnant from what you have said and if
you are stressing thinking that the baby
may not be yours then you need to work a
few things out before that baby is born.
Best of luck

well I want it to be mine
I was just hoping that there wan't a
chance.... When they did that ultrasound
thing I counted back the days and it
landed like 2 or 3 days before her
period.. But they said that was good and
everything is going well..And they didn't
change the due date... So does that just
mean the baby is big.. Cause big baby run
in both families not real big just like 8
pounds and up.. Or is he regular size...
It's all confusing I mean I know she had a
period and wouldn't the Dr. Know if that
wan't a real period and she was pergnant
before that. Even if it was only a couple
weeks or even 1 week before her period...
I shouldn't worry b/c I want this baby so
bad it's just she got pregnant so fast
after she got here. And we've been off
and on for sometime now and she never got
pregnant before.

according to the u/s
measurements she is about 14weeks and
4days.. Both the Dr. And the ultra sound
tech said the she concieved most likley on
march 1st.. Which is really confusing cuz
if you count from the day she concived
then wouldn't she be like 12 weeks..????

wow your in the same
situation as me only i'm the woman... And
i'm 22 weeks pregnant.. I did sleep w/
someone else with protection 2 days before
my period. And by everything the Dr. Has
told me and all the people on her, they
all say not for me to worry that it is my
b/f baby and I feel in my heart that it
is... So for one I think it's yours and
for two even if she did sleep with someone
else while away the baby is still most
likly yours, you need not to worry and be
there for her.... Thats just my opinion
if you feel a test is needed then you
should do one.. To ease your mind, but I
personally think that the baby is yours...

Sounds like this baby is yours and you
should not worry. The docs can't
pinpoint the exact conception date unless
you guys rarely have sex and keep really
good track of these things. Don;t worry
about it.

during this time we
rarley had sex.. We had sex on the 15 and
16.. And then again on the 28 and march 1
and 2.. Those were the only times we had
sex. The Dr. Said her concption date was
most likly around the first.. So that
points to me but her measurements were
like a few days ahead of her period..
Isn't this normal though.. The baby is
just a little bigger than he/she is
suppose to be.. But bigger babies run in
are family.. People I have talked to also
said that during there pregnancy they were
a week or 2 ahead or behind there days..
That it is completly normal that just
cause the baby measures to be a week
bigger doesn't mean that he was concived
then... Right???? Thanks for the
advise..

I think yes the baby is most likely yours,
obviously the baby was conceived after she
came back from college, and you were the
only one she was having sex with when she
came home, if anything just talk to her
about it, and say "yes I know im being a
little paranoid but this is a really
important thing in my life and want to be
as happy and excited about it as possible,
and knowing for sure the baby is mine will
just give me that peace and ease in my
mind, and let me just be happy and not
worrying about little silly things", if
you approach it to her right, hopefully
she'll understand :)

the only thing that

landed a few days before her period even
started, but they said that it was common
for a baby to measure a little bigger or
smaller and it doesn't mean that thats
when they concieved because they add 2
weeks on to a womans pregnancy?? Is this
true and they also said that the baby
might be measuring a little bigger because
he might just be a bigger baby.. So if a
woman is say 14 weeks by the measurement
of ultra sound then to get the conception
date you would count around 12 weeks.. Am
I understanding all this right.. That
just because the baby measured before her
period doesn't mean that he was concieved
before her period. It just means that he
might be alittle bigger than average..
Right some please let me know if i'm
understanding this right..

Ok let me explain this to you. I am 30
wks right now. I know the exact date that
I conceived because it was the only day I
had sex that month. But when you conceive
(usually 2 weeks after you start your
period, which for your gf zach, is exactly
the time you two had sex at the end of the
month {feb 28, mar1, mar2} not to mention
is when the doctors said she conceived )
they do not start your pregnancy tracking
from the date of conception. Because for
"most" people you do not know exactly what
day you conceived on. So they count from
your last menstrual cycle which adds about
2 weeks on to the date. (which is exactly
when they are dating her pregnancy to
begin for you zach, that is why it looks
like she is conceived around the time of
her period "she didnt really conceive then
so dont worry") now, doing this makes a
woman go 40 weeks worth of pregnancy...But
in reality the baby is really full term
around 38 weeks this is because they add
on the two weeks. Do you understand this
now? I am 30 wks but the baby is only
really 28 wks old. That is the
gestational age. Doctors go from the
"last menstrual phase" to give them a more
exact range of when the baby will be born.
Because you can't very well go by when
you had sex considering you may have had
sex 6 different times in one month and
could have gotten pregnant on any one of
them. Do you understand now? So from
that zach I can tell you without doubt,
unless your gf is having sex with someone
else while she is back from college the
baby is yours. Because she concieved
probably like the doctors said around feb
28 or mar 1.

katie, yes exactly.!!!! Stop worrying
about it!!!!!!! I am almost 38 weeks (on
sat) and I am measuring (from the doc
measuring my stomach) at 40 weeks, also
from my 32week u/s the baby was about 1lb
bigger than average. Now I know I am not
40weeks along as I was away in a diff
province at that time. My son is just
probably gonna be bigger if I go full
term. Babies are born bigger nowadays
than before. Average babies used to be
about 6.5-7lbs now it's more 7-8lbs,
people have to remember that too.

Oh, and as far as the big for its age
thing goes, the u/s counts the same way as
the doctor. My baby is measuring 30 wks
right now, but like I said she is only
really 28 wks gestational age. So don't
worry about the baby measuring big it is
right where it should be if she is 14 wks
by counting from the last menstrual phase
and it is 14 weeks also. Sometimes though
the u/s will say measuring at like 30 wks
+/- 12 days. This is because they can't
be exactly accurate. Understand? So
today she is probably around 16 weeks, 1
day.

thank you and yes that
makes me feel so much better.... So even
if she is measuring a few days before her
period to find out the day of conception
or around I would count ahead 2 weeks
right?? That makes since confusing why
they do that but ok... So if she did get
pregnant a few days before her period it
wouldn't be 16 weeks it would be 18 right
even though it was 16 weeks ago it would
still be 18 because of the 2 weeks.. I
see, am I understanding this right.. So
what happens when someone doesn't remember
there period (just out of curiosity) ok
say she measured by ultra sound 20 and she
didnt' remember her last period then they
would tell her she concieved somewhere
around 18 weeks.... Right?? Thank you
for all your advise I hate to of doughted
her but the whole measurement weeks thing
had me thrown off.. I think i'm started
to under stand now..

Okay, you got it but you must remember
they automatically added this in... So if
it's saying 16 weeks which she should be,
they already added it in and the fetus
actual age is 14 weeks. As far as not
knowing when your last menstrual phase is,
they can usually tell the fetus age from
how early the heart is heard (usually
around 9 wks), or by how big the head is
measuring (going by what most babies are
at that stage). Hth!

Put it to the facts... Do you trust her?
Do you think she slept with someone else?
If you have having those fears you need to
come out and ask her
