well i think you are about 5 weeks because look if your last period was oct 27 , oct 27 to nov27 is 4 weeks plusplus the 3 days that are left in nov plus the 3 days in december that's 4 wks 6 days that's if your period is excate tips: if you had a misscarge don't be doing any hard work cleaning lifting kids,boxes , no mopping ,sweeping relax at least until your 3moths and take those prenatles that helps eat soups that will make you and the baby stronger talk to your doctor too so he can be checking on you oh and it's probably better if you don't have any sexual realtions right now your body is weak

You would be around 5 weeks pregnant (you count from the first day of your last period no matter waht although, obviously, your baby is only conceive at the end of week ).For example, my last period started 18th of may and I am now 29 weeks pregnant. A human gestation will last 40 weeks although the baby will only be developing for 38 weeks.
You would therefore be due around 4th of August.
As for advice on what to eat/drink, take some folic acid or any multi vitamin for pregnancy that contains folic acid, avoid unpasteurised milk or cheese, uncooked eggs, wash salads and fruits and veg thoroughly, do not eat liver or pate, avoid uncooked things or ready meals that are not pipping hot.
Good luck,try not to worry too much,I'm sending you some baby magic dust ;)

You conceived your baby on November 10th
You're 5 weeks pregnant
You're in your 1st trimester
Your 2nd trimester will start Jan. 26, 2008
Your 3rd trimester will start May 5, 2008
Your little darling will be born August 2, 2008
Eat balanced meals and get plenty of fruit and veggies. You're best off eating something every two hours - keep a little something in your stomach. Don't drink any alcohol or anything with caffeine (coffee, coke, etc.). Do drink milk and fruit juice. Take a pregnancy multi-vitamin daily (your doctor may prescribe one for you). Get plenty of rest and take a nap if you feel tired during the day.
Congrats!

congrats! If your last period started on the 27th of oct then you would be 5weeks3days pregnant today. A scan next tuesday won't be too early and you should be able to see a tiny little white blob on the screen. You may not be able to see the heart beating yet but usually that occurs noticeably after 7weeks.
oh by the way your LMP due date would be 2nd August 08!
congrats and think positive thoughts!! Make sure to spend as much time on your couch being a couch potato and drink plenty of water and eat as healthily as possible to ensure your baby gets the best start possible!
Best of luck and update us after your ultrasound next week.

Check out the link in the sources --- it is to the March of Dimes website, where they have a good due date calculator you can try. It will give you a rough estimate; however (as I discovered myself recently!) you won't have an accurate date until a sonogram is performed by your doctor. They will measure the baby, and from that they will let you know what your dates are. (Found out that my "date of last period" was almost a month off of when I actually conceived!)
As for food... only increase how much you eat by about 300 calories. Cut out anything with caffeine, and try to lessen the amount of sugar intake (trust me, you want to avoid those yeast infections that are common in pregnancy!). Yogurt is your friend! Check out the links below, especially the last one, for good information on what to eat during pregnancy. Also, your local WIC office is an incredible resource for information also! Good luck, and congrats!

You are 5 weeks, 3 days. You are too early in my opinion to see something. I would wait a while but thats your choice. You should start taking prenatal vitamins. They are IMPORTANT. Food to avoid: Caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, sodas), Alcohol and Smoking, Fish and don't take alot of vitamin A. Dont eat unwashed raw fruit and vegetables, raw or undercooked meat, and unpasteurized goats milk or goats cheese. Don't change the cat litter. Avoid things that could have salmonella. Do not refreeze anything that has been defrosted and reheat food only once, then toss it. I hope its good info. I learned these as i am trying to get pregnant my self.

You are five weeks and three days pregnant and i would say the scan is too early i think i had mine at 14 weeks.
At this time you should be taking folic acid supplements everyday, all midwives recommend that you take this. Also stay away from alcohol and caffeine. Try and eat healthily lots of fruit and veg. Try and get your diet as balanced as you can. Good luck

I went to www.whattoexpect.com and used their Due date calculator and it just has you type the date of your last period and this is what it says:
Your Estimated Due Date
Congratulations! Your estimated due date is Sunday, August 03, 2008, which means you're in week 5 of your pregnancy.
P.S. I used this website my whole pregnancy! Congrats! and as far as what to eat http://www.whattoexpect.com/index.aspx?puid=bca90866-9e39-416b-8e0c-9e2171f4a8a2&p=1
