    Did you have sex after the period in December?

    It sounds like they're basing your due date on your last period. When was the exact date of your last period?

    With a due date of October 5, you most likely conceived on or around January 11.

    I will assume that is the only time you had any sex ?

    Sex with condoms is not 100 percent they have a 3 to 10 percent failure rate, so any other times you had sex with a condom could have been the time you got pregnnat also.

    Due dates are figured often from information you provide on last period, and then latter from ultrasound, you did not say where the dates you have came from.

    Next at best conception dates are give or take one to two weeks. There is no exact date unless you have only had sex once.

    Just take care of yourself and prepare for the baby, there is no need to worry about conception dates, those are only estimates at best, and the baby will come when the baby is ready on his own time schedule.

    It's not my pregnancy and like the 26 -30 for the period so is it possible if that was they only time she had sex because I don't think it having a period would make the baby seem younger than it really is she's 37 weeks yesterday but claimed that's the last time she had sex

    The due date would have been in September if it was from intercourse in early December.

    Are you worried about paternity?

    Okay I'm sorry but I'm trying to say even if she mistaken the end of December for a period and it was really her spotting the baby would still develop regularly to where the doctor would see the baby was older than expected Right but the period was from like December 26 -30

    So most likely the night the condom broke didn't get her pregnant ?

    Are you a potential father, is that why you're worried about this?

    The only way to determine paternity is with a DNA test after the baby is born. Due dates won't help.

    When was the first day of her last period, the one in December? What cycle does she have, 28 days, 32..

    Due dates are a best guess based on the last menstrual cycle. An ultrasound can give a better guess, but it's still a guess.

    Truly, the only way to find out paternity is with a DNA test.

    That's what I was wondering to would the ultrasound show the baby almost a month advance ?

    Given that there is a month gap here I would have to agree that this is NOT from the sex on December 9.

    If conception occurred on December 9, her due date would have been September 4.

    Remember, this is my profession and I even have one of these at home... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...A300_SH20_.jpg

    Thank you so much your making the most sense I fully understand that DNA test is the only way but adding this up it doesn't make sense so
    Even of the sperm lived for a week the baby would be born before oct 5
