Due Date Math - Your Thoughts? Posted: 01-13-04 16:51pm
Can a baby being born the first week of
february 2004 have been conceived during
the last week of june 2003?
Simple arithmetic and general knowledge of
a pregnancy calendar assumes that a baby
born the first week of february 2004 would
have been conceived on or around may 12,
2003.
What are the odds, if any, that this is
not the case and a baby born the first
week of february 2004 would have actually
been conceived six weeks later, the fourth
week of june 2003?
Am I missing something?

I think it may really be hard to tell
until the baby is actually born. My
sister recently had a baby and had 3
different due dates that were each 2 weeks
apart. She ended up having the baby a
full month after her initial due date
(first date was end of oct, baby came
11/24). With all of the science
involved, doctors are still wrong
sometimes.

Why not use a due date calculator?

Russel-
are you trying to figure out when the baby
is due? Or, when the baby was conceived?

Thanks for the feedback. Some
clarifications...
I know when the baby is due. The baby is
due the first week of february 2004.
I am trying to find out when the baby was,
therefore, conceived. Simple math, the
human gestation period and a calendar
suggest that a first week of february 2004
due date would suggest conception on or
around may 12, 2003.
I am therefore asking this community if it
is reasonable to suggest that with such a
due date, first week of february 2004
(even with the suggested conception date
of middle may 2003), could the baby have
been conceived at the end of june 2003 -
full six weeks later.

If the due date is correct, then it would
seem that the baby was not concieved at
the end of june. Just keep in mind that
there is always a possibility that the due
date is incorrect.
