Hello. I am wondering if based off the due dwte that was given to me on my first ultrasound if you can tell me when I conceived my child. I do not have a regular period so I can't say when the last one was however I know my due date is August 8th. Can you tell me when I conceived and how accurate that date is?

It's really hard to know when you conceived without knowing when you ovulated.

The ultrasound age and due date is based on the size of the baby and other factors. A fetus has certain changes in development that are usually pretty accurate. That's what they base the due date on.

The due date is a guess. In fact, statistics say that 45% of women will give birth within 2 weeks before their due date, 45% will give birth within 2 weeks after their due date and only 10% will give birth on their actual due date.

Are you concerned about this because you want to pinpoint who the father is? If that's the case then you'll have to wait until the baby is born and have a DNA test done.

If not, just enjoy and congrats. :)
