When would be the due date if...?

Question

When would be the due date of a baby if it is conceived on May 24, 2007? Wouldn't it be February 24, 2008? And about what time would you find out you were pregnant?

**I'm just curious. There is no possible way I could be pregnant.

Answer 1

It's 38 weeks after conceiving, which is 40 weeks after the first day of your last menstual period. By the time you actually conceive, you are 2 weeks pregnant because it counts from when the follicle began to mature the egg, which starts the first day of your period.

For example, my first pregnancy, my period started Sept 25th, I ovulated October 9th (conception occurs within 24 hours after ovulation) and my due date was July 2nd.

It's best to wait until you've missed a period before testing, but you can get a positive a few days before.

Answer 2

If the baby was conceived May 24, the assumption would be the mother's last period was about 2 weeks before that. To determine the due date you go by the FIRST DAY of the last period, not when you think you conceived.

So using May 10 as the last period date, the baby would be due approximately February 13, 2008 (or sometime that week since exact dates haven't been given). Women find out they're pregnant anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 weeks, to even later. But assuming she found out right around when her last period was due, that would have been sometime last week.

Good luck.

Answer 3

They don't usually date a pregnancy from conception as it's difficult for most people to say exactly when they conceived, even if they only had intercourse one time, because the date of conception and implantation could vary quite considerably.

Since a pregnancy includes the whole of the menstrual cycle the baby was conceived in, because medically speaking your body is preparing for the pregnancy from day 1 of your cycle, normally you would count from the first day of the period you had before the baby was conceived, and then add 280 days. This will give an estimated date of delivery (EDD)

If you don't have regular periods, the doctors will normally use an ultrasound exam to give an EDD, since fetuses are pretty standard size up to 12 weeks or so, it's easy to get an accurate gestational age to within a few days.

Answer 4

February 14, 2008 would be the due date.

You could find out you are pregnant 2 weeks after you conceive, you'll just need to take a pregnancy test.

Answer 5

You count from the last menstrual period date, not conception date. The basic rule of thumb is to add 7 days, then subtract 3 months. So if the last period was May 10, for example (the best day for her to ovulate and get pregnant on May 24), the due date would be February 17th. Close enough...they're just estimates anyway!

Answer 6

ok i used a thought calculator and a calendar, I counted returned 14 weeks from this coming Tuesday and that's what I have been given: First Day of final Menstrual era:January 8, 2008 probable Date of Ovulation: January 22, 2008 achieveable Dates of thought: January 18 to January 26, 2008 Due Date: October 14, 2008 (40 weeks) i desire this helps.

Answer 7

Between Feb 20 2008 and March 10 2008

Answer 8

A full term baby arrives 266 days after conception or 38 weeks. Doctors count pregnancy as 280 days or 40 weeks because they count the first two weeks after the last period as part of the pregnancy. If you think you conceived May 24 count 266 days.

Answer 9

02/13/2008 would be the due date

Answer 10

They don't go by when you conceived they go by your last menstrual period and if that had been on may 24 your due date would actually be Feb 28
