Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask that my period arrived on December 28, 2017. I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on the 7th and then got married. However, my period came on January 29. On January 7, I took birth control pills, and my period skipped a day, so I went to the hospital and they prescribed me progesterone capsules. My period only arrived on January 29, and I met my current husband on February 5. Now, my period arrived on February 27, but it hasn’t come on March 27. I’m wondering if this baby has anything to do with my ex-boyfriend. I’m very worried every day, but I haven’t seen my ex since we got married on January 7. Is this the ultrasound report from when I got pregnant? Could you help me make a good guess? Thank you.I had a cesarean section on November 28, 2018. I heard that if I got pregnant, the due date would be calculated from the last period, which would be February 27, 2018, right? Or does it count from the day I had sex with my ex on January 7, 2018? Does it matter? But when I calculated, from February 27, 2018, to November 28, 2018, it’s a total of 274 days? How many days are there in total when you are pregnant? This is the first ultrasound report from when I got pregnant, done on April 28, 2018.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the due date is 40 weeks, and delivery within two weeks before or after the due date is considered normal. I suggest you: pay attention to rest, maintain hygiene, avoid spicy and greasy foods, refrain from strenuous exercise, and get regular rest. As you mentioned, this child has nothing to do with your ex-boyfriend, so you can rest assured. A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks, which is 7 days a week, totaling 280 days. It is normal to be one week early or late.
