and lastnight we found out that we were. I have 2 questions, first I am supposed to get my period tomorrow but obviously won't should I feel crampy? Second my last period was 2/26/2007 but I ovulated on 2/12/2007 in which we had sex the week of ovulation, so should I go from my lmp or ovulation and about how far along do you think that I am? I do plan on making a dr appointment tomorrow! Thanks for taking the time out to answer!

Congratulations! Your estimated due date is Monday, December 03, 2007, which means you're in week 4 of your pregnancy. the doctors go by your last lmp and add 7 days to it and they go back 3 months that's how they come up with your due date your baby is about 2 weeks old here's whats going on with your baby remember the gestational age is the date from your last lmp Week 4 & 5 - Gestational Age (Fetal Age - Weeks 2 & 3):
Arm and leg buds are visible, but not clearly distinguishable. The heart is now beating at a steady rhythm. The placenta has begun to form and is producing some important hormones including hCG. There is movement of rudimentary blood through the main vessels. The early structures that will become the eyes and ears are forming. The embryo is ¼ inch long by the end of these weeks.good luck

Congratulations! The doctors always go by the date of last period. You can feel crampy a lot at the beginning of pregnancy, but if it gets bad I would see the doctor. Do you mean you ovulated on 3/12/07? You would be considered 1 month along, because doctor's usually go from date of last menstrual period. Congratulations again, and good luck.

Congratulations!
I had the same question as you regarding do you date the pregnancy from your lmp or the ovulation!
I asked my midwife and she said that they always date it from the lmp - but when you go for your first scan it will tell you your near enough exact due date - so wait until your scan!!!!
All the book say that if you have a lmp on 26 Feb your due date is 2 December.
I think you will still feel crampy - I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I still feel crampy - but it is just all my organs shifting over to make way for my growing uterus etc............
Hope this helps!

Generally, they count from the menstral period before you go pregnant. I am not sure if its a typo, but the period you gave is after you ovulated. If you had a period after you got pregnant, then you would count from the period before that. If it was a typo, and you ovulated on 3-12, you count from the 26th. So you would be about 4 weeks right now. As for feeling crampy, yes thats fairly normal as long is it is not sever and is not accompanied by bleeding.

Feeling crampy is very common. It will probably go on for weeks yet, and I definitely had it before I missed my period.
All pregnancies are dated from your lmp, never from ovulation. Some pregnancy calculators let you put in estimated date of conception, but a doctor will only go by your cycle or by a scan.
Congratulations!

First off....Congratulations.
You and your partner had sex right during your ovulation time so that would be your time of conception. So, u would be about 6+ weeks currently.....but they calculate it kinda different so they will add a week or so. Its weird.
Light cramping is normal. I had it early on and some light bleeding as well could be present. Dont be alarmed.
Just eat good, and if you have to wait a couple weeks for an appt, begin taking a multi vitamin. Childrens vitamins are great. But, get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water and milk, and fill ur body full of fresh fruits and veggies.
U will be fine. Congrats again hun.

You take from the 1st day of your last period, so that would make you abot 5 weeks and your due date around the 29th Nov, My baby is due 12th Nov.
Congrats on your pregnancy xx

first of all congrats mommy! second, the doctor is gonna use a method called nagele's rule to determine your EDD(expected date of delivery). they will take your LMP and subtract 3 months and add 7 days. so your due date will be december 2nd! hope your pregnancy goes well.

Congrats on your lil mircale. I know how frustrating it is when your trying, but God has blessed you and your husband and that's great. Well, my last peroid was on Jan. 26th and I'm already 8weeks, so your probably about 4 weeks. Once you go to your appt., they'll give you the exact information. Good luck and enjoy!
