If two people were born on the same day does that mean that their parents concieved at the same time?

Answer 1

Not really. One could be born early and the other late.

Answer 2

Nope. This is because gestation in humans is fairly variable. 40 weeks is an average with a 4 week spread. Many will give birth 2 weeks before and 2 weeks afterwards. This has all been confirmed with IVF since that is an absolute known conception date. This isn't a dumb question when you consider the majority of animals have a fairly exacting gestation.

All of this presumes that this is an average and normal pregnancy of course. There are instances of both premature birth and late dates birth. Even multiples can be born weeks apart (the longest is a woman who had triples over a 3 week spread).

Answer 3

No. Conception, gestation and child-birth are all so different for each individual that the moment of actual birth will vary notwithstanding the point of conception. Gestation, leading to birth, depends on many factors. There is proper diet, exercises, genetics and other factors that will determine the time of birth. Since these factors are all so different in each individual the time of birth for each individual case will vary even if the conception was at the same time.

Answer 4

No, for several different reasons.

Here's one for example:

My friend and I have the same Due Date of 2/18/2008. We were both told this by our Doctors, we didn't just decide this our self.

We were both charting, *b/c we wanted a baby* but we ovulated 2 days apart, so as you can see your answer would be no.

Answer 5

whilst possible, I would imagine it's highly unlikely - my daughter and another little baby in our area were born on the same day but my baby was 15 days early and the other was 10 days late! plus, they calculate your due date from first day of your last period, not actually when conception occurred, so the babies come out when they're ready, not necessarily after the exact same number of days of gestation and the dates only refer to approximations anyway!

Answer 6

They were concieved AROUND the same time but not necessarily the same day or even week.

Answer 7

no, it doesnt mean that. some women go into labor early, some go into labor late. also, they may have concieved in the same week, but the babies dont have to come out on the exact same day of that week.

Answer 8

Not necessarily, babies can be born premature, after their estimated due date, by c-section, induction, all these factors can affect. It does not mean that the parents conceived at the same time.

Answer 9

Not the EXACT time but yes generally the same time...within a week or so. Everyone'd preegnancy lasts a different amount of time.

Answer 10

Not necessarily. Your just born on the same day.
