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 finally arrived on January 29. I met my current husband on February 5, and now my period came 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, doctor? Thank you.I had a cesarean section on November 28, 2018, and the baby was 51 days old on January 18, 2019. I heard that if the pregnancy is calculated from the last period, the due date would be February 27, 2018, right? Or should it be calculated from the day I had sex with my ex-boyfriend on January 7, 2018? Does it matter? But I calculated it, and from February 27, 2018, to November 28, 2018, it's 274 days? I hope a capable doctor can explain this to me, thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you got married on January 7th, had your period on January 29th and February 27th, and being with your ex-boyfriend proved you weren't pregnant. You became pregnant with your current husband, and the earliest symptom was a missed period. Based on the estimated time of conception after the last normal menstrual period, it is 280 days, which is 40 weeks when estimated as 28 days per month. However, not everyone goes into labor on their estimated due date. Your estimate is 274 days, which is 39+1 weeks into labor.
