Doctors are sure tough to trust sometimes.

To tell u the truth, docs only predict. When I was pregnant, he asked when my last period ended, then asked when I had unprotected sex... But I think they only try to calculate when we are due and when we conceived.......

There is a way to figure approximately when your baby is due...Yes it is just an estimated time cuz that baby is coming when it's coming!! But this helps the doctors to figure out how big the fetus should be and so many other things!

Count back 3 months from the first day of your last period, then add 7 days...That is approximately when your baby is due!!
