Gestation is approx 40 weeks. Assuming you were born at 40 weeks gestation then you were conceived around November 26.

In weeks 40 is the normal gestation period. Actually 42 to weeks is common with induction after this point. The baby is considered full term and safe for delivery after 37 weeks normally.

Depends on what year you were born. Dates change from year to year so it's hard to tell. You would have been born 40 weeks after conception, give or take a few days or even weeks if you were early or late, but really who wants to figure the exact day your mom and dad got busy?

"How long does pregnancy really last?
You might be surprised how the idea of a 40-week pregnancy came into being. In the early 1800s a German obstetrician simply declared that pregnancy lasts ten moon months counting from the start of the menstrual cycle prior to the pregnancy. (2)
It took nearly 200 years for researchers to investigate whether this was, in fact, true. It turns out that it wasn't. When researchers in the late 1980s followed a group of healthy, white women with regular menstrual cycles, they discovered that pregnancy in first-time mothers averaged eight days longer than this, or forty-one weeks plus one day (2). The average was three days longer than forty weeks in women with prior births."

But -- there's no way to tell. Most babies arrive about when they're expected, but few do it on the exact day.
You can get a reasonable estimate here:

9 months is typical.
If you were born in August, then more than likely your conception month was November. The exact date of conception is impossible to tell.
