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. I met my current husband on February 5, and now my period arrived on February 27. But on March 27, my period didn't come. I want to ask if this baby has anything to do with my ex-boyfriend. I don't need to do a paternity test, but I'm very worried every day. But after getting married on January 7, I haven't seen him again. Is this the ultrasound report for the pregnancy? Can you help me make a good guess? Thank you.I had a cesarean section surgery on November 28, 2018. I heard that if I got pregnant, it would be counted from the last period as the due date, which would be February 27, 2018, right? Or should it be counted from the day I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on January 7, 2018? Does it matter? But I calculated that from February 27, 2018, to November 28, 2018, it's a total of 274 days? How many days does it take to get pregnant in total?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you had sex with your ex-boyfriend after taking birth control pills. You got married on the 7th day of the second month, and your period came on the 29th day of the second month. You met your current husband on the 5th day of August, and your period came again on the 27th day of August. You didn't have your period on the 27th day of February, and you gave birth via cesarean section on the 28th day of December.My advice is to consider that your current situation has nothing to do with your ex-boyfriend. Generally, a pregnancy lasts about 270 days, but as long as the child is mature, it doesn't have to be exactly that many days. It's perfectly normal for your child to have been pregnant for 274 days.
