my fiance knows theres a chance the baby might not be his. we were split up for a brief time and i had a couple encounters with another man, but found out i was pregnant 2 1/2-3 weeks after that. im just wondering, would the due date change or stay the same if the baby comes out to be the "other guys" baby? please help in any way you can, thanx

No, the due date is based off of the first day of your last period before becoming pregnant. Take the date your last period started and add 280 days (40 weeks) to it, and you have your expected due date.
Depending upon the length of your period cycle, there is a window of time about a week long starting about two weeks after your period starts when you can conceive. Therefore, if you only had sex with one of these two guys during that window of time he is most likely the father. Otherwise, that is what DNA testing is for.
This is the method that we used with both of our daughters, and it was pretty much spot on.
Best of luck.

You probably won't know who's baby it is until you have a paternity test. The doctor uses the date of your last period to determine the gestational age of the baby. Your due date will probably remain the same unless tests reveal the fetus may be older than initially determined. He may change the date based on how you measure or by studying the fetuses development during an ultrasound. I'm glad you shared this with your fiance. However, if you ever have encounters during a breakup again, please use a condom. This guy could have given you AIDS which in turn you could have given to your fiance. I don't care who you do, just be SAFE.

my roommate is pregnant and is going through the same thing. Her doctor gave her a 3-4 day window of conception and said that since both guys were in that period of time there would be no way to tell except by a DNA test. Her due date hasn't changed. Since in your case there was a 2 week break in time, you should be able to narrow it down more by asking for a time frame of conception. None of this is fool proof though, so I would still just have a DNA test. Don't stress about something you can't change, its not healthy for you or the baby.

initially it will be unlawful in case you probably did not get lined after an coverage swap once you're pregnant. it isn't a pre-existant condition. Secondly you shouldn't be getting one of those vast quantity of ultrasounds except there's a difficulty with the toddler; too many ultrasounds isn't solid for both you or the toddler. Thirdly, almost all medical doctors do bypass through the day of your very last era regardless of if you're abnormal until eventually an ultrasound proves in the different case. regardless of the indisputable fact that, in case you basically switched medical doctors they are going to bypass through the initiating date of your LMP and under no circumstances what the perfect physician says until eventually the try in the different case. i recognize those products because I basically went through them myself. My LMP became an complete month previously I were given pregnant and in case you bypass through basically the date i'd were an complete 11 months alongside (40 4 weeks and six days) as a change of the standard gestational time period of 40 weeks. Your new physician is basically doing the traditional problem and also you should give up irritating about it. they actually do recognize what they are doing.

It won't matter once the baby comes out what the due date is. You should be able to tell by the due date you get when you have an ultrasound done when the baby was conceived. This may help in determining the father. You can also have tests done while pregnant to find out who the father is.

There is always a 2 week "leeway" in due dates since they are calculated from the first day of your last period. You add 280 days to the first day of your last period. But, since many women are often irregular with teir periods, this may not be exact.

It would be the same regardless as the due date is calculated based on the first day of your last period.

I was told by the Dr. that pregnancy starts on the first day of your last period. Go online to babycenter.com and you can figure out your estimated due date.
Good Luck

well, if you didn't know you were pregnant before you had this...what you call an encounter then no... it would change because you didn't know that you where pregnant. and even if you did know that you were the date wouldn't change
