Hi.

Can a baby be born in 7 months fully developed with no complications weighing 3.8kgs? Is it possible?

John.

No. It's not possible.

This was the situation, we had sex with my girlfriend in July 2011 and used a condom, in August she had an operation and she missed her period which usually is regular and comes on 20th-24th and we thought it was because of the medication. We had sex again in September from first week a couple of times and we did not use a condom this time. The confusing part is that she got her periods on 20th Sep for 4 days then the rest of the months she never got them.

I have been told by other people that a lady cannot get her periods when she is pregnant, and this one came on time, 20th-24th. If I calculate assuming that she conceived during that September to the time the baby was born which is in April 28th, it adds up to 7 months and maybe 2 weeks or something like that.

Is my calculation correct really. Or is it possible for a lady to miss her periods and still ovulate. This stuff is confusing especially since I am a man I don't know what to understand.

Thank you
John

Women can have spotting, which is often confused with a period.

No a baby can not be born full term in 7 months. Just not possible.

Also of course condoms have a 2 to 18 percent failure rate, so if the only thing you were using was condoms, it can be the issue.

Thanks Fr Chuck.

The situation is she got her periods 4 days in my house, I saw it with my own two eyes, it was nothing compared to a spot or spots. It was what the ladies refer to as heavy flow. Maybe it was a miracle baby or something. Just maybe.

I tried Google and it even did not have an answer that is why I resulted to consulting medical practitioner.

Please help me to complete the puzzle.

Thank you
John
