Answer 1

u are pregnant for 40 weeks (including the time of ur last period until conception) on average, which is 9 months and 1 week.

there are 4.4 weeks in a months (not 4, otherwise there would be 48 weeks in a year, not 52. there are more than 28 days in a month, except Feb).

the average pregnancy is not 10 months (44 weeks), however, u can be pregnant for more than the 40 weeks, meaning the baby is late. i doubt a doctor would let the pregnancy go on that long since the baby grows rapidly at the end of the pregnancy and might get too big too be delivered naturally.

from ur dates, it seems ur sister was pregnant for 40 weeks only.

to work out when she conceived, u need to know the length of her cycle. if she has a normal 28 day cycle, she would have ovulated around 5 jan 06, and probably fell preg between 2 jan and 6 jan. if her cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days then her ovulation (and conception) dates would be that many days later or earlier.

(u ovulate 14 days BEFORE ur next period is due. if u hav sex b4 ovulation u can still fall pregnant since the sperm can stay alive inside the woman for up to 5 days. the woman ovulates for 24 hrs approx)

if the dates still dont help ur sister, then maybe u shud find out the blood types of ur sis, baby and men involves. find out if there either could have been the father. even a 25% chance means that that guy cud be the dad, but if the possibility of 1 guy is eliminated then u know that the other is dad and sis wont have to get a dna test done.

Answer 2

40 weeks, so if you say each month has 4 weeks, then yes that is 10 months. However, some months have more than 4 weeks in them. There is really no way to pinpoint the conception date, that is why pregnancy due dates are guesstimated, about 40 weeks after the first day of your last period. If she went to the doc regularly, then they should have been able to tell how far along she was by the baby's measurements on the ultrasound. Did she deliver on or close to her due date? Or was she late or early? These may factor in on finding the father. Also, if that was the last time she had sex, when was the time before that? If it was within a week, there is no way to tell just by the dates, she will have to get a DNA test. By the dates that you gave she would have been about 38 weeks pregnant. If she got pregnant from the last time that she had sex, than she would have been two weeks early, but they would not have stopped her labor, because the baby's lungs would have been fully developed. If she had sex two weeks before, then it is possible that the man she had sex with then could be the father.
I hope this helps. As for everyone else saying she shouldn't sleep around, I'm sure she knows that now! It's not like you have never made a mistake in your life!

Answer 3

So when you are pregnant you are full term for 40 weeks. SO that means you are pregnant for 10 months! BUT a normal pregnancy is only 36 weeks. So it would be who she had sex with on the 01 08 06 because that is the full 40 weeks because the doc told her her due date would be the 9 29 06. So therefore if she had sex before that, the baby would be like 11 or 12 months old. Hope I helped! lol

Answer 4

It's 40 weeks from her last ovulation. Her ovulation would be roughly two weeks after the period. That really confused me and my husband at first too. Also, I got pregnant on January 11, 2005 (it was the only time I had sex in about a 5 month period so I know it's dead on lol) and my daughter was born Sept. 27, 2005. She she was pretty much on the same frame. I would say the guy she had sex with on 01-08-2006 is the lucky one! Good Luck!

Answer 5

An average pregnancy is about 40 weeks from the first day of a womans last period. Some pregnancies are a week or so longer, or shorter. The only way to determine paternity is dna, but counting back 40 weeks from her delivery day may give her a good window of when she conceived.

Answer 6

40 weeks or 10 months is a full term pregnancy. Count backwards from when she had the baby and give a 2 week bending way for each way because babies usually come 2 weeks earlier or late. If she had sex on the 8th of January it would really just depend on the date of who she slept with before that person.

Answer 7

40 weeks. 36-37 weeks is considered full term. A quick calculator for a due date is date of last period + 9 months and one week to get a due date. Give or take a couple according to how many days are in the months, leap year, etc. I would guess she was pregnant around 12/27/05, but it really depends on her due date, not when the baby was born.

Answer 8

A normal pregnancy goes from 38 to 42 weeks. If she counts backwards from the date she delivered (or her expected date of delivery) it might give her a better idea.

Answer 9

Yes, pregnancy lasts 40 weeks or ten months

Answer 10

a woman could have intercourse as much as the 2d she is going into hard paintings. whether that's painful for her then replace positions, continuously lubricate nicely and take it sluggish to initiate with until she we could him understand she is great. Be open with one yet another and being concerned. changing positions is extremely helpful. The pup sort is the main comfortable for a pregnant woman.
